This is truly a great pot! The size is fantastic for everything from rice to soups. The lid fits perfectly and the lid handle doesn't become too hot to use during cooking. The pot handle is wonderful, stays cool, and you could easily throw the whole thing in the oven if needed. The material of the pot itself is what really makes this a winner. It takes a fraction more time to get this pot to boiling but it stays consistently hot the entire cooking time. As for the "neverstick" portion, it's much better than steel pots at things not sticking during the cooking process- but its not perfect. Where it shines is in the clean up being very easy without the need to soak overnight.  Again this is probably the best pot that I have ever owned and I highly recommend it.
