Know before you buy
This insert is specifically designed to fit Made In 6-quart and 8-quart stock pots. It may not provide a secure fit for stock pots from other brands due to variations in diameter and depth.
Because the insert sits inside the pot, you can simply lift it out to remove the pasta while the starchy cooking water remains in the pot. This makes it effortless to reserve the water for emulsifying your sauces.
Yes, the premium stainless steel construction is durable and dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward after you finish cooking.
While it is primarily designed for pasta, the perforated stainless steel construction works well for steaming vegetables. Just ensure your stock pot has enough depth to keep the water level below the base of the insert.
Yes, as it is made of stainless steel, the insert will become hot while submerged in boiling water. We recommend using oven mitts or kitchen tongs when lifting it out of the pot.
