We had an older one of these that we loved. It came with two different sized strainers and was quite robust. We recently got an induction stove and the old one was not induction-compatible, so we purchased this one. Unfortunately the quality has really gone down hill. The steel is quite a bit thinner than the old one and it lacks one of the strainers/steamer inserts that the old one had. This is not a bad product, it's just that it's so much poorer quality than the old one. The dimensions have changed just enough as well that it's a bit less useful. It's fine for what it is, just not great. All-Clad is certainly cutting back on quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’re sorry to hear the new Simply Strain Multipot didn’t live up to your experience with the previous version. We understand your disappointment, especially when you noticed differences in the construction, included inserts, and dimensions. We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and we’ll be sure to pass your comments along to our team.
Fan of all things all All-Clad - Have an older one that is more tall/narrow and this one more squat/wide, which makes i more versatile and better for steaming
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this probably 10 years ago when it was labeled Pasta Pot. I have discovered that it is perfect for homemade soups like chicken noodle or vegetable beef. The strainer keeps the beef shank/bones or chicken bones, onion, garlic, bay leaves, sprigs of thyme or rosemary separate from the broth. Just remove the strainer, add vegetables & meat to the broth. Perfect & so much easier than pouring contents through a metal strainer into a separate bowl and then back into pot to finish.
Bought this for my son as a Christmas Present. I have a full set of All Clad, spread between our two houses, which I love dearly. He asked for this after using my 16Quart Stockpot and it includes a strainer.
Nice big pot, good for doing small batch canning, making stews and such for larger groups. Really handy. Also nice and heavy, works well on induction cooktop. Got it to replace a large steamer/strainer I had that worked on the induction, but was much lighter and made a lot of noise. Love the pot. Just wish it had a smaller basket that nested in the top for steaming veggies.
I’ve purchased many All-Clad cookware over the years and all have been great until now. Out of the box this looks great like any other pan, high quality you’d come to expect from All-Glad. However after one use the bottom of my new Multipot pitted. Oh, you added salt too soon, nope. Water only. Wasn’t just one spot but all over the bottom. Now I’m stuck with an ugly pitted pot. What happened All-Clad? From the best to the worst. Don’t bother with this one.
