When you dry the pot with a paper towel the towel is turns black. Washed the pot with strong detergent and boiled it several times but each time the paper towel turns black when drying the pot. This pot is made in China and is not safe for food preparation. When wiping a stainless steel pot there should be no residue left behind on the towel.

It is really too tall for my stove and sink, but I can still use it just fine. I like the way the base works in terms of spreading heat and cooking well. Pops popcorn very nicely.However, it began to corrode just a little around the top edge on its first use. It hasn't gotten worse, but I still don't like that. The lid fits poorly on the spaghetti insert, which is useless for spaghetti. Without the insert it is not a bad spaghetti pot. The spaghetti insert is poorly shaped as well, that's why the lid fits poorly. The lid fits fine on the pot itself.

I think this review got more helpful votes than any other I've written. Thanks for those who noted that.
Anyway, I still use the pot, though not for popcorn. It has not corroded any more than it did right away. I have burned stuff in the bottom and scoured it clean again. The lid continues to fit poorly, almost to the point of falling into the pot. I rarely use the strainers, though I do steam veggies in it sometimes, and that works fine.
So it is a cheap workhorse pot, poorly made and low quality, but functional. I wouldn't expect to have it for many years or anything, as I plan to replace it with something better when I get the chance.

the cookware works great, have'nt tried the steamer basket yet, waiting for those fresh summer veggies... the cookware is heavy duty, only con i found are those spot welded handles, would rather see riveted handles.Honest reviews on Excelsteel 12 Quart 18/10 Stainless Steel 4 Piece Muti-Cookware Set
I was truly impressed With this pot. Well built Heavy stainless steel w/rivited handels not spot welded. Glass lid is vented and fits well. Stainless steamer fits nicely and has built in lift handels. Stainless collander fits pot w/ steamer on top w/ glass lid on top. All fits satisfactory. I washed cookware before use and after use with no problem what so ever. Not a spec of dark residue or any problem w/ cleanup. Great product at a great price. I have pots like this one that are at least 22 years old.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Excelsteel 12 Quart 18/10 Stainless Steel 4 Piece Muti-Cookware Set
Heavyweight bottom, good construction, multi-purpose: cooks soup or pasta or steams veggies. Great price. I use it ALL THE TIME. As a gift to my daughter, I had been searching for this 4-pc product in stores with no luck: either not fully multi-purpose or flimsy metal or priced $200. This Excelsteel product has a good heavy bottom, is well-made, and is extremely affordable. Great gift to new householders. This is a GOOD DEAL.
