This Flissler pot is better then expected. It is large and beautiful. The handle is sturdy and the metal is thick and heavy duty. The pan heats up evenly and cooks everything beautifully in it. It's great for cooking anything from noodles to sauce. The stainless steel is shiny and catches the eye. The pan is easy to clean with a regular sponge and soap without having to do much scrubbing. It seems to he scratch resistant and over all feels like a pot that will literally last forever. The lid fits nicely over the pot and has a built in handle that does get hot. The inside of the pot has measurements to easily measure liquid or dry foods. I am very pleased with this fissler pot. The quality is amazing
