On looks alone this pot is a winner, the powder finish, the chrome looking handle, and accent on the lid are just gorgeous. Then I used the pot, and the only thing I can think about is how fast I can replace my old pots with the ninja never stick. The pot is utterly amazing. I made cheese sauces and pastas and never once needed to scrub it after use as every bit of food just slid off. My favorite part hands down is the heat retention of this pot once you get water boiling and remove it from the heat the water stays boiling for almost 30 seconds all on its own and that's just awesome.
