One hot pot.

This pasta pot, two-in-one colander combo (also called a pastaiola—who knew?) sure is a double-duty pro. It’s got an induction-friendly, stainless-steel exterior that distributes heat extra evenly, plus a perforated insert that’ll strain those noodles in a snap. Oh, and it doesn’t stop at pasta, either: This made-in-Italy multitasker can steam and blanch all kinds of veg, or even whip up stock or broth in a flash. Talk about a stovetop hero.

See that serveware? It comes with the pasta pot (so you'll be ready when it's time to dish up).
