Well, so far I am in love with this little pot. It is my go-to for boiling eggs, cooking up some pasta, boiling green beans, making some rice...the list could go on. One of the best parts is definitely the lid. Once you put it on, you can do a quarter turn to either leave the wholes on the lid open for some ventilation as things are cooking, or closed in case you doing something like rice. But the holes are great for straining the water on pasta, for example. So easy not to have to clean a strainer too. And just in general, the quality is top-notch. I am very impressed with the feel of the material. High quality, for sure. I highly recommend this perfect little pot for any kitchen.
