Demeyere 8016 RESTO Stainless Steel Asparagus/Pasta Cooker Set, Silver

Q: What are the inside dimensions and/or mesh basket size?

8.5 x 6.15 inch interior of pot. Mesh basket's interior is 7.75 x 5.5 inch. The basket has a handle that folds down out of the way of the top and a hook on the side that raises the basket 3 inches higher when rested on the top edge.

Q: I just purchased this 4.7 and cannot figure out the real inside diameter and inside height of pot. I see differing answers in reviews so far.

Hi Barb, I just measured it with a tape rule. There may be some confusion because there are two measurements: The pot itself and the removable, wire basket insert. The pot is exactly 8 7/8th inches deep from bottom to the top of the upper lip and 6 5/16th inches in diameter. The wire basket insert is 7 11/16th inches deep and 5 13/15th inches in diameter. It is the only piece of cookware I have that isn't All-Clad and while I don't use it very often simply because I don't need a pot of that shape/size very often, it is a well made, good piece of cookware and I'd highly recommend it.

Q: How many pounds of f pasta takes

Not for a crowd. This is a small model, a pound. This really for two to four people. I also us it for vegetables. I is one of my most used pots, i love it. However do not use it for angel hair pasta, what a trial cleaning basket, it got stuck in all the holes. Also basket has a hook so it can be lifted and stays above water. Hope this helps.

Q: What's the height of this product?

The overall height is 9" and because of the lid shape the overall useable interior height is approx. 9" as well,, This steamer pot is far Superior to the last one I purchased locally and it works quite well, heavy duty construction, a quality product for the price....Aloha
