Screwed on handles almost always get loose.** A: They have screws that can be tightened. The problem I had is the lid handle kept coming unscrewed. Then the tab that keeps it from turning broke off. Trying to find a replacement. I love the pot, hate the plastic. **Q: 5 quarts doesn't sound very big to me. How much pasta can be cooked at one time in this pot? Thanks!** A: It's a big pot, plenty big enough for a family of four - six. A great pot for boiling potatoes, carrots in fact anything that needs boiling and straining. It is also very easy to clean, food just falls off the coating. I think it is a wonderful pot and I have used one for twenty years and have only needed another as I gave my old one to a friend who had no pots during a change of house. I can't fault this pot, worth every penny. **Q: Could an expandable/collapsible metal veggie steamer fit inside, seeing as though this item is oval?** A: Yes, I t is oval. And I would recommend a silicone steamer insert. More likely to fit, and won't scratch non stick interior of pot. **Q: It is not teflon inside is it?? Someone stated that it was and i thought this was not used any longer?** A: I believe it is anodized aluminum (non-stick surface inside) and a fantastic pan! Gave them away as Christmas presents because I loved mine so much. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny. We use ours several times a week. Will last you years! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 22, 2025* We've loved this pasta strainer so much that we've actually ordered it as a gift for others. The one we bought is now at least 4 years old and it's as functional now as it was when it was new. It's a perfect sized to easily cook an entire box of pasta (any variety) and it is very well constructed and durable. The handles don't heat up at all, so there's no need to use oven mitts etc. It's nonstick surface works like a charm, has not worn off at all, and I've used this to make batches of soup, chili, boil potatoes and more, always without a problem. It heats up quickly and is very conductive. The lid fits perfectly, but comes off without much effort and the entire set up is dishwasher safe!I absolutely recommend this product, particularly if you can get it for under thirty dollars. If you're on the fence on this product, definitely buy it. You won't at all be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very very nice pasta pot! *by on Reviewed in the United States February 7, 2026* When my husband and I got married 21 plus years ago we were gifted a pasta pot with a strainer in the lid. It had a non-stick coating, so as everyone knows that is no longer safe, and that pot has been used beyond its life expectancy. I researched and price checked all of the different pots and found this one. So so glad I did! It is the perfect size being 6 quarts to fix the perfect amount of pasta for my family. It is well made feeling extremely durable with sides that are thick enough. It has a heavy duty weight to it but it is not too heavy. It is very easy to clean and since this dishwasher safe it makes it even easier. It is easy to put the lid on and strain your pasta. I also love the oval shape of it where you're less likely to have to break your pasta. Drop it in the middle and it is in the hot water in no time. Great buy and I highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ β€’ Bialetti pots simplify the pasta preparation process *by on Reviewed in the United States May 7, 2025* Cooking pasta or noodles should not be a chore, and this pot simplifies the process. This pot comes in a variety of colors that would match most kitchen decors. I chose red because it is attractive color for a pot (see photos). The material is lightweight and has a non-stick interior that facilitates a quick cleaning after use.The top quickly screws on-and-off with a quick quarter turn. The vented top allows you to quickly drain the cooked pasta and noodles without concern about losing some down the sink drain.The pot is also useful for preparing homemade soups when a non-stick pot is desirable. The vented top can be kept on while cooking to decrease cooking time, and this feature reduces the likelihood of an accidental boil over.I’ve discovered that the non-stick interior will require additional cooking time for pasta and noodles. When preparing these, add on a few minutes to the cooking time to get it β€œjust right.” ## Frequently Bought Together - Bialetti 5.5 Quart Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid, Charcoal – Elongated Oval Pot for Longer Spaghetti, Lasagna, Penne & Farfalle Noodles, Heat Resistant Handles & Nonstick Interior, Large Pot for Cooking - Bialetti Taste of Italy Nonstick Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid, 5.5-Quart, Teal - Bialetti 5.5 Quart Pasta Pot with Strainer Lid, Red – Elongated Oval Pot for Longer Spaghetti, Lasagna, Penne & Farfalle Noodles, Heat Resistant Handles & Nonstick Interior, Large Pot for Cooking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1938581-bialetti-5-5-quart-nonstick-aluminum-pasta-pot-with-strainer](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1938581-bialetti-5-5-quart-nonstick-aluminum-pasta-pot-with-strainer) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
