I have been using this for more nearly two weeks now and has been the best ever in using to make your sauses. I love making marinera sauses. This sauce pan heats up yout sauses to a nice texture without burning on the bottom. This product is very durable with blue colot on the outside with a unique texture, also with a nice sturdy handle to grip to the sause pan. This pan is great in making dauses as spaghetti, alfredo, marinera sause or even thick soups, this is a great size for your whole family or even guest there would be enoff for all as this sauce pan is 3quartz . Looking foward to mamy more days using this quality sauce pan.
