I have bought many Meyer products in the past - having a good base is critical to good performance and I have always had good experiences with Meyer products on my old electric range as well as my new combined induction/gas range.  The base of this pot is wider than my 3 L pot, which allows for nesting and makes it great for doing family-sized batches of rice or steamed veggies.  The stainless steel cleans up well - it does benefit from stainless steel cleaner after cooking rice or browning meat though.  The value for price is excellent - although these are pricier than many department-store specials, they are very good quality and at a far more reasonable price point than most high-end pots with similar performance.  It is great to be able to get a 4L saucepan to match my other pieces as this size is not always readily available, but is perfect for our large-ish household.
