If you are doing something like a pasta with meat sauce and a side of veges, you can cook it all at once.<br /><br />Cleanup? Soak or dishwasher immediately, who cars.<br /><br />Kashrut? In a small efficiency or studio kitchen two of those might handle 75% of your cooking needs.<br /><br />When a basic meal is throw stuff together and heat it up, which was a big chunk of foot in my early 20s, that would have been very useful.<br /><br />We had a glass bowl that we used to call the "magic bowl," because 80% of our cooking was "throw stuff in there and nuke it in the microwave."Miami Alnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-1910615289130591602009-12-22T18:49:30.384-05:002009-12-22T18:49:30.384-05:00Without seeing it (got a link?), I'd think its...Without seeing it (got a link?), I'd think its only advantage would be for someone forced to cook over a single burner, with one pot (like if you're on vacation). You could put pasta in the big one, veggies in a small one, and sauce in the third. Leave the lid off the pasta and you can pull it out of whatever's left of the water (drainage does seem to be a problem). Not that I'd buy it, but I would use it if I got it. Although the though of cleaning a tall and skinny compartment of a pot with interior corners is horrifying.Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-73117013909302149602009-12-22T12:22:35.274-05:002009-12-22T12:22:35.274-05:00Not a chance.

Just boil water in all three compartments, and then add the pasta at the appropriate times so that it will all be done at once. You will have to use a slotted spoon for at least the first two shapes, though, as dumping it all into the colander together will just backfire - resulting in mixed shapes and kids refusing to eat.<br /><br />But seriously, no, I can't really see a use for it.miriamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339767447913960853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-87212990681088798522009-12-22T10:03:07.430-05:002009-12-22T10:03:07.430-05:00Seems pretty worthless.

Possibly maybe 3 different vegetables.<br /><br />Seems like it would be awkward for anything else as I imagine it having narrow but deep compartments which would make stirring or mixing difficult.<br /><br />I dunno, I'd rather use 3 different pots or just take more time by reusing the same pot 3 times and waiting for each dish to be done.JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-79326198064965406582009-12-22T09:28:10.294-05:002009-12-22T09:28:10.294-05:00i don't quite understand the problem with diff...i don't quite understand the problem with different flame sizes. what's the difference which flame size to use? just use the highest flame that doesn't cause any of the 3 sections to boil out.Lion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-239539519128394072009-12-22T09:27:09.201-05:002009-12-22T09:27:09.201-05:00If I got this as a gift I might enjoy using it as ...If I got this as a gift I might enjoy using it as a novelty.
