Great pot, great price. Was a little smaller than I expected, but after using it several times, I have found it to be more than adequate. When seeing the orange handles in the picture, I was certain I would hate them, but they are very functional and the color has grown on me. The finish is easy to maintain as well, and mine looks still brand new. All pots are not created equal, and this one shows its distinguished charactor. Pasta is allways al dente; boils a mean crab too, and even made gumbo over New Years, so can easily multitask. Great pot.
