I purchased this steamer set and have used it to make soups. It heated quickly and evenly. It has a nice weight and I like the bottom's thick, metal disk. It remained nice and bright after it was cleaned (and it was easy to clean). I haven't used the pasta or steamer inserts yet, but I see no reason why they will be any different than the pot itself. I'm very happy with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I needed an extremely large pasta cooker/strainer for large family meals when all my children and grandchildren come over for dinner. This pot is simply perfect! It is beautiful and functional and of very high quality. Well worth the price if you are cooking for a crowd.

I bought this for making soup for our large family on Saturdays. All the family love soups and chowders during the winter months. We have lots of “pots” but they weren’t big enough or would burn on the bottom. This one is the perfect size and has a substantial bottom so our soups don’t scorch or burn. We’re using it several times weekly for other meals, too. My daughter and daughter-in-laws love it so I plan to gift them one for Valentine’s Day.

i have only used once for a large pot of chili, pot came perfectly clean even though it's difficult to cook this without some sticking at the bottom which there was. You need to heed the advice to simmer over lowest possible heat, the heavy bottom distributes heat very well.

I bought this mainly for steaming snow crab legs, I had an old aluminum-ish stockpot that I modified with an upside down colander and cooling rack. It worked well but wow, what a difference in this! The legs fit in the steam basket (large one) and they fit all the way in. Wife said they tasted even better than before.
I have used it many times with the small steamer basket to blanch steam squash for freezing. Works awesome. So happy with this purchase. Clean up is a breeze too.
