Product Review

Progressive International's 8-quart spaghetti steamer 18/0 stainless steel. Set includes stockpot, an insert that doubles as a colander, a 2.5-inch removable steamer basket, a lid with adjustable vent holes, and comfort gripe handles.

Amazon.com Review

Made of 18/8 stainless steel, this set offers three cooking options in a single package. There's an 8-quart pot for simmering stocks and soups and cooking stews, an 8-quart colander that fits inside the pot for cooking and draining pasta, and a 2-1/2-inch-deep basket that also fits inside the pot for steaming vegetables and fish. A domed lid with an adjustable steam vent completes the set. The pot, lid, and a band around the top of the colander where it protrudes from the pot are all polished to a mirror finish, presenting a uniform exterior. Hollow handles on the pot and the colander stay cool on the stovetop. Both the colander and the steamer nest inside the pot for compact storage. The set is dishwasher-safe and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

2.0 out of 5 stars Started to rust after first use, October 16, 2002

I purchased this at a good price thinking I can use it to boil pasta, steam veggies and it works for all those things. My only complaint is that rust spots started to appear after its first use and wash. Since I purchased it at a good price I'm not complaining too much, just be sure to wipe it down after washing and use a good scrubber to scrub out the rust stains while washing.

1.0 out of 5 stars How can Stainless Steel Rust?, October 30, 2005

I have used the pot one time and it has already started to rust where the bottom of the pasta strainer comes in contact with the pot itself. If it is stainless steel, how is it rusting?

I will be sending it back!

The size is great, the design works well, but after only a few uses, the "stainless steel" is rusting. I'll be returning it.
