I had been needing a new saucepan especially a slightly larger one. I love that this one can strain easily when I am boiling my veggies, pasta, or eggs. The handle on the pan is very sturdy. I love the lid as well the handle on it is just perfect. Cleaning this pan is very nice as well since its a non stick pan so if I overcook something the mess comes off easily. This pan is definitely a new go to item for me. I will be recommending it to my friends and family as well as purchasing other items to complete my kitchen needs.
