I had one and it was a POS. The pot was too small and too thin, and for
some reason it took *forever* to bring the water to boil. Then when you
go to lift up the inner colander up and out you're dripping water
everywhere. Feh.
Gimme my good large pasta pot and I'll drain into a colander in the sink
any day.
