Honestly, I was really surprised at the quality of this Farberware 3 quart sauce pan. I’ve used very high-quality pots and pans before and this pan is equal in quality and durability. The bottom is slightly heavy, uniform, and substantial enough to allow for even heat distribution over many surfaces, including electric, gas, and induction stove tops. The handle stays cool to the touch while cooking and it also has a little ring on the end of it if you want to hang it. The lid is sturdy and fits snuggly. I love the fact I can just pop it in the dishwasher. I can see this pot lasting many years. It is a Good value.
