Cuisinart Stainless Steel Chef's Classic 12-Quart Cookware Set

Cooking and draining pasta has never been easier with this family-size 12 Quart Pasta/Steamer Set. It is designed with handy measurement markings and an induction-ready base to ensure convenient cooking. The set also includes a Flavor-Lock lid for healthier steam cooking.

In addition, the set features the 12-quart Cuisinart Chef's Classic stockpot, which is perfect for simmering large batches of chili or boiling spaghetti for a big group. Made of professional quality 18/10 stainless steel that doesn't react with acidic foods, this pot is built to last. It comes with solid cast stainless-steel handles, a tight-fitting lid, a drip-free rim, and a mirror finish that retains its brightness even after multiple uses in the dishwasher, freezer, broiler, and oven at temperatures up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. The pot measures 9 inches high and 11 inches in diameter, with a total length of 14-1/2 inches including the handles.

What sets this four-piece set apart is its versatility. It includes a deep pasta insert that allows you to lift and drain cooked pasta in one step, eliminating the need for a separate colander. Additionally, it comes with a steamer basket that fits on top of the pot, enabling you to steam a variety of healthy, fat-free foods like broccoli, shrimp, and pot stickers. The pasta insert and pot share the same riveted stainless-steel handles, while the basket has a swinging handle that can be tucked away when the lid is on. Best of all, every piece is dishwasher-safe. Cuisinart provides a limited lifetime warranty for this pot set.

The Chef's Choice Stainless stockpot boasts a mirror finish and classic looks, making it a stylish addition to any kitchen. It also offers unsurpassed heat distribution, thanks to its aluminum encapsulated base, which heats up quickly and evenly without any hot spots. The stainless steel cooking surface doesn't discolor or react with food, preserving the flavors of your dishes. It is suitable for various cooking techniques such as slow simmers, rolling boils, and reduction of liquids. The pot is equipped with a cool grip handle that stays cool on the stovetop, and a helper handle for added support and balance when lifting and pouring. Its rim is tapered for drip-free pouring, and the tight-fitting lid seals in moisture and nutrients for healthier and more flavorful results. The lid is made of 18/10 stainless steel and is oven-safe up to 550 degrees F.
