I was really looking forward to a new saucier. The performance of this one is fine but the balance is wrong. Let me explain. I do my cooking on a gas range and when I put this saucier onto a burner it is quite unstable and "tipsy" and has to be very carefully positioned on the burner (too carefully for quick movement in the kitchen if you ask me). I have not had any accidents yet but this just doesn't deliver what I hoped it would. I continue to use it because I'm invested, not because I like it.
