can you buy a basket for pasta that will fit in this pot

I have never seen a basket for pasta that narrow in diameter. Pasta would slip out of the basket that come with it.

There is a basket included to hold the asparagus for which the pot is designed. I suppose it is possible that you could cook pasta in it.

We use the basket it comes with for everything from pasta to hard boiling eggs!

The steamer basket does fit into the stock pot, however to use it as a strainer is questionable, as it only has holes in the bottom, so you would have to keep moving your pasta in order to get it fully drained ... (I think). You can't fit a lid over the two together as the handles interfere with the seating of the lid. This set is superb, and I really love mine. Hope this helps.

Hello! I think if you have a tea flower, then if you remove the basket, yes, it would fit...it is a generous 4 cup pot.

I wouldn't use it for pasta , I don't think it's tall enough and the pasts would fall through the basket. Get a pasta pot.

For the 7 quart model: pot is 8 1/2" high inside, (9" outside) inside diameter 7 3/4".Basket 7 3/4" high inside, and inside diameter 7". Had this for quite a few years, holding up perfectly. I use it for all pastas (except angel hair or thin spaghetti, gets stuck in the holes, have not tried rice) and all vegetables. I got it for my daughter too.Very practical, use it all the time. Hope this helps. Just read other answers, I must have the size up.

The handles are not very tall and you could only place items as tall as the basket and expect to carry them around. I keep onions and potatoes in mine. Anyway check the measurements in the product description and the height of the basket will be as tall your products could be.

The size in the open position is about 9 by 9.5. (It's not exactly round because of the handles.) So it will fit in a 10 inch pot but you could have beans or small things fall outside of the steamer if you load it up. A 9 inch pasta pot works very well and then nothing falls outside of the steamer because it's snug in the pot.

Large pasta sure... But spaghetti I'm pretty sure it'll go through the holes, maybe you can find one off those collapsible strainer you use ( metal that fold onto themselves) put that at the bottom and then it'll work. That's a lot of pasta too cook guessing you're got a big party! This pot is enormous...let me know the date and time and I'll come over and join in on the fun. Either way though I love this pot!

You could cook up to 3lbs of spaghetti without having to brake it. I would reccomnd this pot it is top quality in my opinion.

No basket, but the rack from a 6qt Nesco roaster fits the Big Boss nicely, and you can put it in either way depending if you want the rack higher or lower. For a basket, I use one of those flexible silicone steamers.

the diameter is between 8-9 inches.The diameter across the whole surface is around 10". i typically use a large pot for pasta. A 3 gallon pot should be no problem

It comes with 2 small baskets and 1 large basket..I am sure the large one could hold a good amount of calamri..I use the large one when I fry a whole bag of french fries.

Yes! The strainer fits inside the large pot and the lid fits on top of both, or just the pot. This is a really nice very durable set. You won't regret getting it! They are a bit bigger than other play pots but fit to scale for play kitchens. We have the kidkraft espresso kitchen and this is perfect for it.

Yes. It fits well also. FYI, I use this pot to boil potatoes for potato salad for one, pasta, eggs. It is a great pot because nothing boils over. I hope this helps.

Yes, I put it in the basket where the silverware goes- top rack- there is a wider basket that it fits in nicely.
