Hestan Provisions Pasta Insert

This insert is specifically engineered to fit Hestan 8-quart stockpots. While it may physically fit other pots with similar dimensions, we cannot guarantee a secure fit or performance with non-Hestan cookware.

Yes, the perforated design makes it an excellent steamer. It works perfectly for vegetables, seafood, and tamales when placed inside your stockpot with a small amount of boiling water.

The insert is crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and staining. With proper care and regular cleaning, it is designed to maintain its finish for a lifetime.

No, the pasta insert does not include a lid. You should use the lid that came with your original Hestan 8-quart stockpot to trap heat and steam while cooking.

The insert is completely dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple even after cooking starchy pasta. If you prefer to hand wash, a quick soak in warm, soapy water will easily remove any residue from the perforations.

This insert is heat-safe up to 500°F. It is built to withstand high-heat boiling and steaming tasks without warping or degrading.
