This saucepan is wonderful!! The colors is so beautiful! The pan is small in diameter but is tall so it is easy to store. So far I have made a variety of items and nothing has stuck to the pan!! On the package it says it is dishwasher safe but I hand wash every time. I haven’t noticed any “hot spots” when using the pan. Since it is smaller around the food warms up quicker who can is nice. I have noticed that the handle can get hit so I make sure I used a pit holder when I pick up the pan.
