This saucepot is really nice. It's got a good feel to it- heavy enough that you can tell it's going to hold up a long time, but not so heavy that it stains your wrist when emptying it. The finish on the outside is really modern and attractive. It looks and feels like really high end professional grade equipment. The ridges at the bottom keep contents from sticking and the size is perfect as an all purpose saucepan/pot.
