This Farberware Classic Stainless steel 1-Quart Covered Sausepan was so much more quality then I am use to using, this has a thick aluminum core, with a full base that made it even heating when I was cooking. Also the fitting lid trapped in the all the moisture to keep my food just right. This also had a classic styled phenolic handle making it easy to lift the lid on and off. This sausepan is made of great durability and drip free pouring, and the polished stainless steel was such a great upgrade compared to what I am use to having. I can't wait to buy more of the Farberware Classic collection after reviewing I and highly recommend buying the Farberware Classic Stainless steel sauscepan.
