This piece of cookware gets its name from two Italian words “pentola” which means pot and as its name implies, it’s great for boiling pasta. That’s because of its high sides and the included colander, which you can just lift to drain without damaging the delicate starches. But, it’s also great for steaming or making foods that require straining small particles, like meat or veggie stocks. As part of our collection, this pasta pentola features a bonded tri-ply construction made with a responsive aluminum core pressed together with 2 layers of durable, stainless steel around the surface, for fast and even heat. At 7 quarts, it accommodates a couple of pounds of pasta and water. To keep your All-Clad looking brand new, we recommend washing your cookware with soap and a sponge instead of the dishwasher. Bonded, engineered, & assembled in the USA. Backed by All-Clad's limited lifetime warranty.
Like all of the all clad pots and pans, its beautifully made. The pasta strainer insert is exactly what you need for making pasta.. Rebecca. Tempe, AZ. Fri Jan 17 2020
