This saucepot is the perfect size. It's the perfect pot for sauces and soups (smaller batches). It's 4 quart so it's a good size for sauces. The pot feels very sturdy and has some weight to it. So far from what I can tell it distributes heat VERY evenly. I would love to have a whole set of these pots! They are great! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
