I love all my Anolon cookware but my favorite is my 2-quart straining saucepan. I tend to use it the most. I love the straining feature in the lid witb the lip on the edge of pan. So much easier to use than a separate straining utensil to hold over pan. This way you do not lose anything when you are straining off liquid. I also like the looks and quality of all my pieces.
