This saucepan is also a great kitchen tool with its built in strainer. The ingenious design couples a 3-quart saucepan with a lid that includes two sizes of strainer holes. Just position the strainer holes in the lid with the pour spout on the edge of the pan. The easy pour spout and strainer lid eliminate the need for a separate strainer. The only thing that could make this product better is if the lid was designed to somehow turn and lock into place so the pan could be strained with one hand without the lid coming off.
