Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

...pasta insert only reaches down about 60% into the pot so you have to put about 4 quarts of water in before it even touches the insert...which means to do any kind of volume you are practically filling pot to brim which is both time consuming (to boil)and heavy to deal with once ready (to move/drain). Similarly, because of this design tragedy, you can't really cook much more pasta than what could have been accommodated in a properly designed 6 quart pot/insert, so you don't even get to benfit from the size....all around shame ! (Just a pretty stock pot now) ...and I haven't even used the lid yet to experience all these other horrors I am reading about. Calphalon should have recalled/replaced or Amazon should have accepted a little more responsibility for peddling it once issues were brought to light. JMHO...
