I bought this little saucepan specifically for boiling milk/making cocoa. It was a birthday gift for my husband so it needed to be perfect. And IT IS! My husband likes everything about it. It is a high quality, perfect weight, great looking, very well made/built saucepan with a first class "nonstick ceramic coating" that - I promise you - ACTUALLY DOES PREVENT MILK FROM STICKING. I forgot to mention my husband loves the no-spill pour spouts too!
