I cook a lot, private chef. Bought this for myself, great for asparagus & perfect for pasta. Basket webbing is small enough so I can steam smaller items, basket hook a good feature. Added plus, it does not take up a lot of storage space. Liked it so much that I got one for my daughter. I recommend it.

Beware, this pot is made in Indonesia, not Belgium like other Demeyere products. The pot arrived severely defective, there was a HOLE in the bottom edge, daylight shows through! The metal is thin and was machined too closely. Very light weight, not substantial like a true Demeyere pot. The quality and styling is not the same as that found in the authentic Demeyere pot I ordered at the same time from Amazon. The advertising copy on Amazon does not say where the product is manufuctured which is misleading to the consumer. The packaging identifies the pot as a Resto by Demeyere. This is not a Demeyere pot.

It is troubling that Amazon does not offer free return shipping for such a blatently defective product with misleading advertising copy.

Best Deals for Demeyere Resto 4.7-Quart Asparagus/Pasta Cooker, Silver

I've got this pot on GoldBox deal and recently started cooking with it. I really like it. It's very narrow so it would fit on a smallest burner of my glass cooktop. It has a perfect flat bottom a must for glass cooktop. The insert made from mesh not wires, so nothing falls thru the walls. I cooked asparagus and it was just perfect. You can put pasta, vegies etc into the basket and it is very easy removable. The little hook let's you get the basket higher away from watter on the bottom and dry it. I believe you can do deep frying in this pot I've just never tried it yet. Anyway if you on a market for this kind of cookware you should consider this pot.

Honest reviews on Demeyere Resto 4.7-Quart Asparagus/Pasta Cooker, Silver

On balance this is a good product. It is well made and does the job. I wish it were two inches deeper though. The normal length of the long pastas such as linguini are just about 1 1/2 inches longer than the depth of the pot so you have to keep stirring it until the pasta softens and sinks completely. If you don't, you end up with a short end of the pasta not cooked sufficiently when the rest of it is.

Having said that I still think it is a very good piece of cookware and I use it frequently for various boiling tasks.

I bought this pot to replace another pot I used for pasta it required a ton of water to fill the basket and took forever to come to a boil. This pot is awesome! I'm sure it does a great job on asparagus, but I use it solely for pasta. It requires less water since the basket goes to the bottom of the pot and can hold a TON of pasta. It does a great job, and I find it to be the best I have used.
