If you don’t currently own an oval pasta pot, it may be time to add one to your lineup. The best oval pasta pot that we could find is the Rachael Ray Hard-Anodized Nonstick Pasta Pot. The fact that this pot is oval is not the only thing that makes this pasta pot stand out.
Oval pasta pots allow more giant size noodles to cook without having to break them. For cooking lasagna or spaghetti, you will not get the authentic meal if you have to break your pasta noodles while cooking.
The Rachael Ray pot is both durable and nonstick. If you are looking for a pot that provides very even heat, Rachael Ray is a great option. Many of the pots we have reviewed are oven safe, this pot is as well but only to 350 degrees. It’s also important to remember that this pot is not suitable for induction heat.
When it comes to safety and handling, we love the rubberized riveted stainless steel handles that help when it’s time for straining.
The handles will get warm but not hot. Although this design does not have a strainer top, it does have a pour spout that makes it a bit easier for draining, pouring and cleanup as well. Speaking of cleanup, you can put all parts of this pot in the dishwasher.
