Perfect size for a utility pot that serves multiple uses from pasta to dishes too large for a mid-size skillet.  Since the diameter is ~10 inches, the same as a mid size frying pan. it serves a lot of uses since it is not very tall.

Use it on an induction cooktop with great results.  The tri clad really transfers heat well up the sides for quicker heating.  Handles stay cool to the touch so no need for potholders.

All of the cookware in this series are just stunning in their design and finish.  Hard to put it away in the cupboard, wish we had a kitchen configuration where they could be left out for display.
