All Clad make a 12-qt Multi Pot that usually sells for $99.00. It's a good pot as it has in insert for draining the pasta and a steamer insert as well. Great value - I am going to get one from Bed, Bath, and Beyond, will use their 20% off coupon. Of course 12-qt mat be too big for you. I make stock frequently, so the larger capacity is very helpful here.

Other companies make similar pots in the 8-qt range, although I don't recall seeing any with both a pasta and a steamer insert ... Time passes. Well, I just checked and found that Calphalon makes a similar 8-qt pot. While I'm pleased with the stainless Calphalon that I have, and I am planning on getting another Calphalon pot, I can't say much about this one, as I've not seen it. It's worth looking into, though.

Linens 'n Things - Calphalon 8-quart Multi-pot

It looks like Bed, Bath, and Beyond may also carry this pot (Calphalon Multi Pot), as does Macy's and Amazon. I purchased my last Calphalon pot at BB&B, and was very happy with the price and the service. I screwed up the pot due to my own negligence, and BB&B replaced the pot at no charge whatsoever. If you buy from them, ask about their policy: free replacement, exchange, or refund if, for any reason, you don't like the item or have a problem with it. I'm sold on BB&B and will always check with them on any item I'm looking for.
