It literally looks exactly like the picture and was shipped nicely, I actually really like this pan but so far I’ve only used it to boil noodles! I will say though, my noodles occasionally stick to the bottom but I feel like that’s with any pan. The handle is metal? And when the pot gets really hot, I do feel heat from my handle :( it’s definitely still fine to hold, but it scares me that one day I’ll get burnt from it getting way too hot for too long
