For one I love the color chocolate of this saucepan!! This saucepan is big and I love how high the sides are so that it doesn't boil over and you can fit more food in. I love the soft rubber grip on the handle and the design of it so that it is easy to handle. It is very sturdy and the lid seals nicely. The built in strainer pour spout is absolutely awesome. It makes it so easy to strain the water out without dumping your food out, spilling water, or burning yourself. I have to say since I have been using it I have been cooking everything in it, because I love how well it works so much. It is metal utensil safe which is nice, because I have had issues with my other pots and pans being scratched. It is oven and dishwasher safe. It cooks evenly and food doesn't stick. You will be very happy with this!!
