I have been using this saucepan for so much these past weeks and love how universal it is. I cook some quick pasta in it and can pour Alfredo sauce I made into it. I love making 2-3 cups of white rice, it cooks nice and fast and holds the prefect amount for our small family. I like to fry empanadas because it's so wide and deep. I love how easy it is to clean, residue doesn't really cling into it. It is pretty heavy and thick which I appreciate, I can tell this pan is going to last a good while.
