I've had pasta pots in the past, and while I've liked them, I LOVE this one. The top is secure and I don't need to search for pot-holders to drain it because the handles stay cool!! It holds a pound of spaghetti without breaking, and without having to add oil. And even better, it cleans effortlessly! I recommend it.

I was apprehensive about purchasing this product because a couple of people said that the lid didn't fit...It fits fine. There is a trick to the lid and it explains why it is made this way, so that the lid doesn't come flying off when you tip it upside down. It isn't a type of lid that you just flop on top and tip over. It has a lip on each side of the lid and you must line those up with the side of the pot and almost twist the lid into locking/secure position. Anyone that says the lid doesn't fit on these reviews didn't read the instructions or they are completely clueless. As soon as I opened the package I saw those on each side and it took me 2 minutes how to figure out how the lid goes on. Easy Peasy.

The color is SO PRETTY too! Much nicer in person. I am very very happy with my purchase. I haven't used it yet. It's almost too pretty to put on the stove and use. But it is very lightweight and I'm sure it will be perfect.

This is a quality pot. It replaces our own, very similar one, which we had for over ten years...and which we compromised by not always using the proper teflon tools. . The color is brighter than I would like...but it was the pot that I was after not the color...and its size and design and top with drain holes makes making pasta so much eaiser and safer too.

Honest reviews on Bialetti Trends 5-Quart Pasta Pot, Turquoise

The lid did not open and close properly. it got stuck and the last thing I wanted to be doing is struggling with a pot of boiling hot water. The 2nd one I got had the same problem so it must be an issue from the manufacturer. Unfortunately this seems to be the only brand of pasta pot on the market. So i jut bought a new pot and kept my old strainer top that fits it.

I've had mine for several months now, and while I find it useful for doing what it's designed for, it's not a well-made item. The lid is difficult to lock on and get off, and the handle construction is shoddy. After only a few uses, the pressure necessary to unscrew the lid after boiling cut through the internal post, and the handle can't screw on tight enough to keep from spinning. I now have to put the lid on loosely or it won't come off using the handle alone. Quite a headache with a hot pot. The non-stick surface is also wearing off where the lid comes in contact with it. Not a great design.
