5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant pot for pasta!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I honestly don't understand the reviews complaining about the lid. It is very tight at first but not that bad. It's a simple locking mechanism - just curled edges that wrap around the lip of the pot. The first time I did have to use a wooden spoon through the top handle to get a little extra leverage - just be careful not to over-stress the handle. After locking and unlocking it a few times I can lock it and unlock it without much effort and just using the handle. If you lack hand/arm strength, I imagine it can still be difficult but you could continue to use a spoon for leverage and it shouldn't be difficult at all.

As for the pot itself, it is exactly what I expected. Long enough for spaghetti but narrow enough to reduce the amount of water needed resulting in faster boiling. The straining lid is brilliant and works like a charm. The pot seems well-made considering the price. I will likely end up using the pot for other things as well but for pasta it is perfect. This is one of those things I didn't know I needed until I had it.

The instructions tell you to remove any labels (there were none - thanks!) and the exterior of the pot has the brand name printed on what appears to be a black label in the center of a stainless steel textured bottom. After a minute of trying to get the edge to peel up and failing, I came here to the questions section and confirmed that is in fact not a label. It's just part of the pot. It looks nice, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to cook an adhesive label on high heat and didn't want to damage the pot trying to get it off. All is well.

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2023
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
The lid will stop short of "locking" and the amount of force that I've tried to do this with worries me a bit, so I haven't tried much harder to make it work. Either way, the pot is pretty easy to clean and I've made things like browning sauce in it that hardens and sticks to the edges without any trouble cleaning.

For just a standard affordable non stick pot, it works very well and I like that it's wider and a bit oblong for some pastas to lay flat. The drain lid is pretty gimmicky - but even if it doesn't lock, there are still spouted edges for pouring and the lid sits close enough to do the job anyways. I haven't stuck it in the dishwasher and hoping the nonstick holds up well because of that

5.0 out of 5 stars August 2017 to Jan 2024
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This thing lasted me at a purchase price of $29.99 from mid-2017 through the end of 2023. Not bad, little guy!

The thing that died first was the top handle. You have to twist the top handle back and forth to lock and unlock the unit. This lost adhesion to the lid itself, making it tricky to unlock. Have no fear, I glued it together to force it to twist the lid, and it continued to work...

The handles eventually worked themselves loose. No longer able to sturdily pick up the pot? That's a problem. I solved it by screwing the handles back in with the screws that had worked themselves loose. Worked great! Probably a 4 year maintenance item.

Finally, the lid lost the lock with the pot itself. At this point, the pot is not reasonable to rescue, and I purchased a replacement (a different unit this time).

This thing has been dishwashed a lot, and used near-daily for months on end. It was used to boil water at least... I'd say an average of three times a week for the last 286 weeks. That's 858 uses, I think, before I decided to get a different pot.

My pasta pot arrived intact & dent-free but the locking mechanism is difficult to completely engage. I lock it best as I can and take extra care when dumping water. I still think it's a great improvement to using a colander.

The Bialetti pasta pot is the best and most lightweight and versatile pot we’ve ever had. The first two we owned were purchased in ignorance of how amazing they were and lasted over 10 years. It was a shock to see the current price but researching the alternatives led to choosing the same pot again. We love the all black finish and of course it works beautifully like the previous ones. We cannot recommend it highly enough!
