This is a great saucepan. I have always liked the T-fal brand of pans and was drawn to this one because it this. This is a durable high quality saucepan that I am sure will last a long time as my other cookware made by them has lasted me. I never use metal utensils. only plastic or silicone to avoid any scratches to the Teflon surface. Easy to clean too. I mostly clean mine by hand. The lid fits well and is durable as well. And I love that it has a hole for steam to escape. I am quite happy with this pan, and I am sure anyone would be too.
