This is a wonderful straining saucepan. It is super easy to use and ideal for anybody who loves cooking. Not having to search for a straining is a dream! I love that the lid so easily turns towards the spout when you are ready to drain/strain out the liquid without any chance of burning yourself! The pan handle and knob on top of the lid doesn't get hot and makes it even better! The metal heats up nicely and seems to also cool off quickly after cooking. I highly recommend this pan to anybody who cooks! Great product!
