Kuhn Rikon 4200 12-Cup 4th Burner Pot

Absolutely love this pot. Takes a bit to boil a full pot due to small diameter but it works well for canning a single jar or steaming vegetables. It’s my new favorite kitchen tool. Fits nicely on the stove when other burners are full of giant pans.

I originally bought this to quickly boil water for coffee/tea in the mornings after ditching my electric water heater. Set on the small gas burner on the highest setting boils water super fast, mind you, I only fill to about 2 or 3 cups. The spout pours perfectly, no drips, splatters or leaks. The silicone handles stay cool to the touch regardless of how hard it boils.It's great for immersion blending, especially small batches of soup. The slender design makes all the difference. I often don't even bother with the steamer basket when steaming vegetables or boiling asparagus or corn since there's holes in the lid to drain the water. You do have to be careful to clean this with only a sponge and not a scour pad. I started cleaning the outside on one spot with a scour pad and it did scuff it.. I would have liked a sound/whistle to let you know it's boiling since I use it often as a kettle, so have to be mindful of that, but overall a truly awesome pot!I have received so many compliments on just the look of this pot alone from family and friends. I'm considering purchasing the 6 cup when it becomes available, but so far, this does what the 6 cup does and more so I'm very happy. If you're on the fence, purchase it, you won't be disappointed.

This tall narrow heavy base 12 cup pot fits nicely on the 4th (smallest) burner at 16cm across and 20cm high great for corn cobs asparagus and long veg it's really great for soups as the height means less spill when using a stick blender it's even good for pasta. This is one very useful pot

Ideal for steaming veg, potatoes and cooking pasta. Also muscles. Deceptively large capacity.Uses hardly any water for the steaming, keeping the weight down if you need to move it or drain. Locking lid makes draining very easy and saves washing up a colander. For pasta or boiled potatoes you can gently lift cage from the water and put on a plate to save carrying the whole lot to the sink if you can't lift that much weight. Very good if you have bad back or weak arms or hands.The silicone on the cage handle is quite small and hard to grab if there's a lot of steam around. Also it is hard to tip up the cage to empty the contents when it's hot. I use everyday forks to grab the handle or prong in the bottom the cage and tip it whilst holding the handle with the other hand. Works fine then.

I love this little pot! It fits perfecting on the 4th burner and can be used for so many things! I have made pasta, boiled eggs (the lift out basket is perfect), blanched asparagus, again the basket is great! I will probably use it for boiling water for tea and many other things. Great idea to finally use that little 4th burner.
