For the money I paid, it's worth it. Compared to the pasta I have tried that requires a lot of water to boil, it's fine but only up to a certain point. It has very thin metal, so when you apply pressure, it loses its circular shape, you know. The bottom on the outside doesn't belong to the body, it's detachable, and as soon as I turned on the induction on boost, it released something like oil from a certain point. I'm talking about the outside, not the food. The worst thing, which is also a design flaw, is the strainer. It has the size of a 4-liter pot approximately. So if you put pasta in it, there isn't much space and you need a lot of water to reach the top and cook. You basically need to heat up 8+ liters of water to cook with the strainer. It should have been much closer to the bottom of the pot and it's relatively small, not utilizing the large pot so well. I wrote quite a few negatives, but for around 45 euros that I bought it, it does its job. So far, it seems to be at least stainless steel and it's great for boiling or cooking pasta for a large group of people. I've had it for about three months.
