The Anolon Advanced Home Hard-Anodized Nonstick Straining Saucepan is perfect for my cooking needs! The straining lid is so convenient! The lid fits very firmly into the pot which makes this feature easy to use. The pot itself is very heavy duty and well made. When cooking, food does not stick and is heated evenly. I love that I don't have to worry about anyone in my household using metal utensils in this pot, as they are safe to use. Im sure this pot will hold up for years to come! I would definitely recommend to anyone considering adding this jem to your kitchen!
