I wanted the Pasta Strainer and I like it, however it is too tall for the 4.5 qt. Dutch Oven and fits the 8 qt. Dutch Oven better since it is taller. However it stands 2" off the bottom of the pot so is not immersed in water. In order to cook pasta water has to be filled half way to cover the pasta and then when the water boils it spills over the side of the pot. I am not sold on this model and may return it if I find a different Pasta Strainer that works better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This might be OK for steaming but not for pasta as it does not extend very far into the the Revere 8 Qt pot - maybe halfway down. If you are cooking pasta for more than two, then the pasta is not sitting in enough water to cook properly. I don't know why it was designed to sit so high on the pot instead of extending down to maybe an inch off the bottom as other inserts do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
