This pan is excellent, exactly what you'd expect from All-Clad. We were unsure at first how big the 3qt pan would be, but we were pleasantly surprised! It is perfect for an everyday pot, and generally holds portions for two. I can't get over how much I love the brushed stainless look and feel. Heavy Duty, and worth every penny. Don't waste your money on a set of garbage pots/pans. This will last a lifetime, and im loving cooking in it everyday!
