The Kitchen Aid Stainless Steel Saucepan is the new staple in my kitchen. I cook dinner every night, and having high quality, durable products is very important to me. The saucepan is perfect for cooking for a modest two person meal, as it can carry 2 quarts. There are measuring marks on the insides of the pot to help when filling with liquid. I do feel if the measuring marks included customary measurements, that would be more beneficial to me, but I am still happy they are there. The saucepan heats up quickly, and is very easy to clean!
