I really like this saucepot. The width vs height proportions are perfect, especially when cooking a can of vegetables. Plenty of room so it doesn't boil over, but not too huge. The bottom of the pot is thick and heats evenly. The only downside is that the design is not aesthetically pleasing and looks like something my grandma would have had in the back of her cabinet. It looks very old fashioned, and not in a fun, "vintage" kind of way.
