This little one quart sauce pan is just what I was looking for.  Perfect for a  single serving of soup or oatmeal,  poaching two eggs or cooking up two servings of veggies.  It is only one quart at the brim. So if you fill it halfway that's only a lint or 2 cups.  It holds heat really well a d cleans up easy. Stainless steel can discolor, and that's why they make "Barkeeper's Friend." I would buy this product again.
