Demeyere Resto 8.5-Quart Stainless Steel 7-in-1 Multi-Pot

One pot that steams, boils and deep-fries saves a lot of cabinet space, and the Resto 8.5-quart multi-pot does it with a pair of deep lift-out colanders. Drop one in to cook pasta and lift it out to drain without carrying a pot of boiling water to the sink, or use it as a steamer basket for vegetables and dumplings above simmering water. With both colanders in place, you can blanch spring vegetables in one while penne boils in the other. The tall pot also steams asparagus standing upright and whole ears of corn.

With the colanders out, the pot works as a stockpot for soup and stock or as a heavy pot for browning and stewing. Demeyere lists seven uses in all, deep-frying among them, with a colander serving as the fry basket. In our hands-on testing, the encapsulated base with its aluminum core spread heat well toward the sides, so deep-frying oil held an even temperature, such as 350°F (175°C), out to the edges of the pot. Markings inside the pot show how much water you have added, which saves measuring.

Resto is Demeyere’s value collection, made for cooks who want sturdy stainless cookware at a lower cost than Atlantis or Industry 5. For a stockpot in those collections, see the Atlantis 8.5-quart stockpot or the Industry 5 8.5-quart stock pot. Our Demeyere cookware guide covers all three.

    Tips for Best Results

    • For deep-frying, fill the pot no more than one third full of oil, and leave the lid off.
    • Add salt to water only after it boils to prevent pitting.
    • The handles get hot; use pot holders.

    Care

    Let it cool before washing. Wash with warm water, dish soap and a soft sponge or brush; avoid steel wool, abrasive powders and bleach. Demeyere lists it as dishwasher safe and recommends washing by hand for regular use. White spots from hard water wipe away with a splash of vinegar. Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water.
