How do I begin to describe this product, it is perfect! Just to name a couple reasons, the non-stick coating keeps everything much cleaner, the straining lid help cook any kind of pasta without dirtying another dish, and it's the perfect size (3 qt) to cook about anything for my husband and myself. I want to get the whole set of these now after using this one. Definitely need to go buy! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
