First let me say I'm in love with this pan. Everytime I cook I catch myself reaching for this pan to use. Who ever had this idea of a strainer included in the rim of the top is ingenious. I'm wondering how I lived without this my whole life. The person who thought of this design must of had the same struggles I did say while making spaghetti. First you cook meat, drag out your huge strainer, wash the strainer only to use it to strain the noodles later. The little divots on each side of the pan make it easy to pour liquid out with out a mess! I'm in love with the top not only does it strain liquids out its glass and I can watch what I'm cooking. This pan was easy to use and clean and has withstand me using it numerous times and still looks new. Now I'm seeing a full set in my future!
