I bought this a few years ago and used it to cook pasta. I haven't been using it much lately, so I'm selling it at a low price to someone who will use it. How to use the Pasta & Vegetable Cooker: Place vegetables or pasta in the stainless steel insert and boil them directly. Once cooked, lift out the stainless steel insert. (※When using the insert to cook pasta, please use pasta that is 1.8mm or thicker.) • Size: (Outer dimensions) 17 cm diameter x 23 cm height, Capacity: 4.5L • Compatible heat sources: Compatible with all heat sources including IH and gas. (Microwaves are not included as a heat source) • Dishwasher safe
