 Perfect multiuse potNov 09, 2009
I love to cook and find this pot is very well made and has an excellent durable finish.
I purchased it at Amazon and find their service and selection makes them easy to shop with.

It's become my new utility cookwareSep 23, 2009
Like a couple of other reviewers, I also bought this based on the America's Test Kitchen recommendation.
What else can I say other than I truly love this saucepan! Aside from my trusty cast-iron skillet, it's actually become my "go to" item in the kitchen now. Does a fantastic job with sauces and soups as well as stews and the non-stick makes picture perfect rice every time, especially with the very well-fitting lid. I am easily able to stuff a whole cut up small chicken with a couple of cups of rice in the thing with oodles of room to spare!
I'm not entirely sure about the comments about it being so heavy though... This thing is surprisingly light for it's looks which says a lot about the quality that went into its construction.
Even though it's a 2 1/2 quart sauce pot, it's pretty immense for it's size. I brushed off the previous comments about the size, but when I opened that box, I couldn't believe how big it really is. Not that it's a bad thing since I have a pretty large kitchen and range, but if you're struggling on space it may be hard to find a spot to store it.
Based on friends and family whom I am have cooked for, they wound up purchasing one and every single one of them love this pot to pieces. Such a shame the other "Contemporary Nonstick" models are so expensive, otherwise I would get them as well.
 Non Stick scratchedMay 24, 2009
Enjoyed this sauce pan. The build quality is high, the glass lid is nice to be able to check boiling levels without opening the lid. I wish this was just hard anodized without the non stick interior. Very careful with my cookware, but the inside has been scratched.
