Description
xThe Cuisinart 766S-22 is a 6-quart stainless steel pasta pot with a built-in straining cover that lets you boil and drain without a separate colander.
This cookware piece from Cuisinart’s Chef's Classic Stainless line combines durable tri-ply stainless construction with a latch-on straining lid and internal measurement marks, so preparing pasta, vegetables, and soups becomes faster and neater. Designed for everyday use, the pot works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops and is sized to handle family meals or batch cooking.
How does the straining cover make cooking easier?
The locking straining lid is shaped to stay in place while you pour, which removes the need to hold a lid or reach for a separate colander. It helps reduce spills and keeps hot contents contained for safer draining.
- Straining lip aligns with pot rim for controlled pouring
- Latch mechanism secures lid during transfer
- Large perforations drain quickly without losing food
Can I measure liquids directly in the pot?
Yes—molded measurement markings in both cups and liters inside the pot let you add precise amounts of water, stock or sauce ingredients without extra tools. This saves time and reduces dishes when following recipes or scaling portions.
- Clear internal marks for cups and liters
- Useful for portioning pasta water or making broths
- Visible while cooking for quick checks
