This saucepan is fantastic quality . It has some weight to it but isn't too heavy . The material looks and feels excellent quality and looks like it will last many years . It doesn't scratch whatsoever even when using metal utensils. It's non stick properties are excellent and requires very minimal cleaning . I cooked various meals using this pan and nothing stuck to it . The straining part is good and allows to drain off peas , potatoes etc with ease.
