Covered Oval Pasta Etc. Pot (Rachael Ray) 8 qt  Product Reviews

"I returned this product because it did not come with the steam holes in the lid as advertised. Don't know if it would have made a difference, but when the second pot came with the same (defect), I decided to return and get a refund."

"this is the best pot i have ever bought!! . i have been watching for the rachel ray pot and did not want to pay soo much $$$. this was- and is the same pot that is like the one with the orange handles, but alot less expensive!!! free shipping also...terrific pot for pasta, soups, pot roast, great size and i just LOVE it~~"

"I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. I watched her show occasionally and I like her and some of her ideas although I am not a devoted follower. I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. I have stainless steel cookware and compared to my stainless steel pots this is functional and easy to clean. The oval shape is easier to handle compared to a big round tall pot, the dome shaped lid allows more cooking flexibility, it conducts heat well and Anolon makes quality cookware. I also purchased the 5-quart Oval Saute pan and the lids are inter-changeable. This is great for the times you don't need a lid that is domed and taller, has a vent, and you need to see the dish you are cooking. I like the looks of this line better than her other line with the safety orange handles. That line has the same pot with a flatter glass top with no vent and it is called an 8-quart oval stock pot. I watched the price for a while before I made a purchase. The price on this pot went up and down; as high as $99.00 and as low as $66.88. A friend who is a longtime Amazon shopper suggested putting it in my cart and waiting until it hit a good price to purchase it I did, I got it at a good price and I am happy. So this is a great pot heavy duty and cleans easy. If you are a Rachel Ray fan but not into her line of pots with handles the same color of orange construction cones this is a great choice."

"Bravo to anolon for this 8-quart past pot with lid. It is one of the best purchases that I have ever made"
