This 3-quart pot with a steamer pot plus lid is the 3 piece set I've been searching for. Not only does it come in different colors to match my kitchen decor, it is so versatile for cooking different foods. It has two handles to grip onto instead of a clumsy long handle like most 3-quart sauce pans do, so it makes it so much easier to transfer from stove to oven to table. The steamer addition has done wonders for steaming those dense root vegetables which take forever to get soft, and this is achueved by being able to add more water in the beginning of steaming than it did with my old everysize fits steamer which only allowed about an inch of water making me add more water to steam my vegetables longer. One huge thing I love about the bottom sauce pot is how versitile it is when not using the steamer. I can make soups for days!
