I love this saucepan. It is a modern take on the old cooking tool. It is a non-stick and has grooves on the bottom of the pan. This allows cooking very healthy meals since very little oil is required. The handle is easy grip and covered with soft material. When I close the lid, I can make it non-spill or twist the lid 180 degrees, open the spout and pour the liquid out. I haven't heard of this product before but I think it's great. I love that it is dishwasher safe and easy to wash by hand. I would buy this and recommend it to others. It is a great pan to have at home.
