I've been looking for a nice little saucepan that does not stick, cooks fairly even and doesn't give me a workout to wash. In making my own cheese sauce I have found this pan to be the best. The cheese doesn't burn or stick. It cooks evenly. The handle does not overheat. I'm grateful for the opportunity to test the Circulon Symmetry out and look forward to purchasing more of this line. To add icing to the cake, this saucepan looks beautiful even after daily use. No coating scratches or washes off. Amazing investment. I would recommend it to others and I would purchase it again.
