Good advice - and the length of the insert was my biggest concern, so I checked that with the All Clad Multi Pot. It looks like the 8-quart Calphalon might have a long enough insert as well, but I'm judging that only by the pictures that are on line. Since an 8-quart pot might come in handy, examining a sample at the store is on order. The price on the Calphalon is pretty good - $80.00 minus the usual BB&B 20% off coupon.
Do you get that coupon sent to you every month as we do here in the East Bay?
