Perfect pasta pots - What's New? - from Gourmet Standard - Brief Article
USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), March, 2003
* It's possible to be a magnificent chef even if saddled with mediocre cookware, but why go down that road if you don't have to, especially when Gourmet Standard, Kent, Wash., is ready to step into the breach with the perfect cooking accessories for those who love pasta? The company's 4 Piece Pasta Pot ($69.99), an ideal space-saver, includes an eight-quart stock pot, eight-quart pasta strainer, six-quart steamer insert, and a choice of a tempered glass or metal lid with a steam vent. We opted for the former because we always like to see what's cooking, especially when we're steaming vegetables.
The four pieces fit one inside the other for easy storage and are made of professional-grade 18/10 stainless steel (with an aluminum-core construction), ensuring even heat distribution. The interior and exterior mirror finish makes for a classic look and quick cleaning. For lifting, there are heavy-duty stainless steel welded handles.
For smaller meals, you can't go wrong with the 6.5 Quart Pasta Pot with Sauce Warmer ($69.99). Made of the same professional 18/10 stainless steel as its larger cousin, the aluminum bottom ensures fast and even cooking.
No pasta feast is complete without a healthy dose of cheese. Gourmet Standard's 4-Sided Cheese Grater ($19.99) is unlike standard models in that it has four individually welded sides and a riveted handle for strength. Also in the 18/10 stainless steel family, this unit boasts a pull-out bottom and scraper for ease of use.
Gourmet Standard cookware is available in specialty and gourmet stores; call 1-888-345-1895 for the nearest outlet.
