this is a great little pot. they have a larger one, this one seemed smaller than i expected (but i'm sure it's 1.5L). plenty big for cooking 2-3-4 servings of anything. get the larger size if you're cooking something bigger.
has two heat settings, basically HI and LOW. on the high setting it brought water to a boil very fast, faster than if i'd used a regular pot on the (electric) stove. i boiled some pasta, added some broccoli about halfway through, and when the pasta was done turned to the low setting and added some cheeses (yep, making mac&cheese from scratch, yummy). by the time i had nuked some bacon for the final addition, the cheese was all melted. stirred it all up with the bacon and done.
clean up was so simple. obviously you don't stick this in the dishwasher. but it is so non-stick that even with that gooey mess of a meal it was as easy as spraying it and wiping it out.
the (optional) steamer goes on top, is plenty large for several cups of veggies or whatever. as fast as it brings water to boil, it will surely be great for steaming.
definitely good for dorm use, small apartments, an adjunct to a hotplate, or just to have when you want to make a quick single-pot meal (or steam something).
