ALDI’s new $29.99 kitchen find is life-changing: I wish I’d bought it sooner

This is a very affordable copy of Our Place’s “Perfect Pot”.

Everything is great! I’m not quoting the theme song from The Lego Movie randomly. Everything is really great about Awesome Pot from ALDI. This is a new kitchen item that has hit store shelves, and I’m very glad I purchased one because I plan to use it all the time.

What I love about ALDI’s Awesome Jar

The Awesome Pot is not only oven safe up to 450°F, but also works on electric, ceramic, gas, halogen, and induction stovetops. It has a non-stick ceramic coating and is excellent for baking, boiling, frying, roasting, etc.

The pot has a capacity of 6.5 liters and is available in green and black. The size of the Awesome Pot makes it perfect for boiling water for pasta, but it is also ideal for braising meat in stews, caramelize the onionswell, anything you would use a pot for. It’s beautiful too.

This is ALDI’s version of the Our Place Perfect Pot, but while the Perfect Pot costs $165, the Awesome Pot only costs $29.99.

It’s easy to clean, but since it has a non-stick ceramic interior, I don’t use my big scrub brushes on it. If something gets stuck, I use a paste of baking soda and dish detergent to remove the gunk without scratching the interior.

How I use ALDI’s awesome pot

So far I’ve used the pot to make pasta: it heats evenly and quite quickly on my induction stove. This meant I could make dinner quickly on a busy weeknight.

I know my Awesome Pot will help me make turkey broth in a few weeks after Thanksgiving dinner, and I’ll use it for my Aunt Judy’s mashed potatoes recipe.

I’m planning to make my old neighbor’s pasta sauce in the Awesome Pot. I will also use it for my husband’s favorite sauce of all time, amateur.

Since the pot handles get hot when cooking, I will use the silicone handles I purchased for my Le Creuset casserole dish if I need to move it. My Awesome Pot is actually a little easier to use than the Le Creuset because it’s not as heavy, but it requires a lot of exercise in my kitchen.
