this product is not as good as it once with stainless steel cookware....it is made in china with cheaper metals.  When the water sits in it, it leaves a water ring, and if you let it air dry the stainless steel has little white spots all over it.  I don't like it.  I needed a 1 qt. size so this is the best I could find and I sure hope it holds up with durability, but it is lacking the quality that stainless steel makers once used to have in their products.
