I am very happy with my purchase. I needed a new sauce pan this size and had a smaller one by Cuisinart that I just love, so I thought I would buy another pan from this same brand.  I have been using it a lot since I bought it. I knew I would, that's why I needed it.  I also find the stainless steel surface easy to clean. I am very happy with my purchase. If I need to replace any other pans, I will definitely choose another Cuisinart Pan.
