Save precious storage space in your kitchen with this multi-purpose pot from Fagor. Constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel and brushed to a contemporary finish, the eight-quart pot is the perfect size for large batches of soup, stew, and chili, not to mention stovetop popcorn. With the pasta insert in place, you can lift and drain your cooked pasta with ease, doing away with a colander. Place the steamer basket with its swing handle in the top of the pot for healthy cooking of broccoli, asparagus, and other vegetables. The tempered glass lid vents steam as it lets you monitor what's cooking. Safe to use on any type of burner, including induction, the multipot is dishwasher-safe and carries a limited one-year warranty. A recipe book is also included.
Founded in Spain, Fagor manufactures home appliances and cookware with a "green" focus on environmentally-sound working conditions for employees and energy efficiency for consumers.

One of the company's most popular products is the pressure cooker, which is gaining momentum as a healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving method of cooking for today's lifestyles. --Ann Bieri

The box it comes in says "compatible with induction cooking." The bottom of the pot says it will work on induction cooktops.
But it WILL NOT.
If you take a magnet to the bottom of the pot (the way one checks if cookware is induction-compatible) it DOES NOT STICK to the bottom of the multipot.
Thus, this pot is useless for induction owners.

After serious considerations, I decided to purchase Fagor. This is a good quality multipot and served my purpose well. It heats up fast and feels solid. The missing star is due to the design of the lid handle, as previously reviewed by another user. It does get hot and could slip. But I can work around it. After all, it's a good product for its price.

This review is from: Fagor 4-Piece 8-Quart Multipot (Kitchen)
It appears that the pasta insert is deep enough to be covered with approximately 4-quarts of water. That is plenty for a large family pasta feast. The reason I rated this 4-stars rather than 5 is that I normally cook thin spaghetti and where I would prefer a 2" solid band around the bottom of the pasta insert (to butt the dry pasta against), there are more draining holes. This means some of the pasta will try to escape through the draining holes, especially if you follow the Fagor cooking directions and place the insert already loaded with dry pasta into the boiling water.
This Chinese manufactured pan was deeply embossed on the underside and indicated the pan may be used for induction cooking. At $21.95, I am going to order several more as (super economy sized) stocking stuffers! :o)
