I love this new 6Q for many reasons. . . it is non-stick, has nice pour spouts with strainer, roomy handles and a glass lid that is tempered. What could be better? Easy to clean and washes right out. Great for making those Fall and Winter comfort foods like chili, stews, casseroles and meat and rice or pasta dishes. You can heat on high heat, but no real need to do so. The new non-stick can handle medium to high heat now, too. Also makes a good amount of soup so you can freeze some for next week! This size is a must-have for every household.
