Excelsteel 8 Quart 18/10 Stainless Steel 4 Piece Muti-Cookware Set With Encapsulated Base
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

OK, but I like the Calphalon better
I bought this to compare it to the Calphalon pasta cooker and steamer.Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 8-Quart Pot with Glass Lid and 2 Inserts
Both have an insert with holes for pasta and another insert that sits above it for steaming. You can use either or both with the stock pot. Thin spaghetti may escape through the holes of the pasta inserts.
Both have the same defect that you need to put in two quarts of water to reach the bottom of the pasta cooker.
The Excelsteel is superior in that there is a vent in the glass top. One reviewer of the Calphalon said her top exploded, although I have had no such problem in many years of use.
However, the Excelsteel steamer is too shallow. It is only 2 1/2 inches deep. The Calphalon steamer is four inches deep. Sometimes I want to steam a lot of vegetables.

Great for cooking Pasta, Potatoes and Steaming Vegetables
This pan is nice heavy duty (18/10 Stainless Steel) pan which I am very pleased with. The 4-Piece set has a large basket is great for pasta, potatoes, brussels sprouts and other vegetable you might fix a larger amount. The smaller basket works great for steaming squash and spinach.

I think this pan with the encapsulated base makes this set much better than similar sets that are not this quality of stainless steel of base. Liked it so much, I bought one for my mom and she loves it too.
Pleasantly surprised

This is not going to compete with the professional, high-end cookware also available, but for simple steaming and cooking pasta this set is not only hard to beat for the price, but a wise choice considering that many of the higher-end pots and steamer sets would be overkill if all you want is to do light duty food preparation. Granted, if I were using this every day or even 3-4 times a week I probably would have spent twice as much for a more professional set.
I did not experience issues reported by other reviewers, such as residue, discoloration, etc. I've used this set at least ten times since I purchased it (about 3 times every two weeks), and have had zero problems or issues. I also machine wash it with no adverse effects.
If you do occasional steaming or...
