This straining saucepan is exactly what I have been looking for. It has so many features I love! 1. Glass lid that I can see what is cooking. 2. Convenient built-in strainer. 3. Cushioned handle...not only does it eliminate the need for a potholder, but it is very comfortable in my hand, 4. Lightweight which makes it easy to carry. 5. Durable 6. Easy cleanup. So far, I have had nothing stick to this. Just a quick wash and dry and its ready to use again. After using this, I am ready to replace some of my older kettles with this brand. Its amazing!
