I haven't used this yet but it looks exactly like the pictures. It is somewhat lightweight, which is what I was looking for. And it has a clever way to hold the lid on when you're draining the pot. It is left-handed 'friendly' so I don't have to pour awkwardly (it works for righthanders too). Update: works great, I love the way the lid can be held on while draining the pot. I also like how lightweight it is.
