I ordered this pot to replace one I had for ages.  I liked the nice clean look of this.  It arrived within days and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the material, the balance of weight when handled. the slotted steam opening, and the incremental measurements inside the pot.  The heat dispersed evenly around the bottom when cooking and I different feel there were hot spots.  All in all I think this is a well made very easily handled piece of cookware.  The top lid handle gets a tad hot which if I am being picky is my only drawback.  Would have definitely given it a 5 star but for this feature.
