I have had several Faberware cooking items. This one is made of good quality metal and does the job. The cover has a tight seal. I cooked down some marinara sauce and the saucepan cleaned up easily. A great, everyday pan. The only downside is the plastic on the lid and handle. While they didn't get hot, I would prefer a sturdier or covered plastic lid top and handle.
