The 2-quart hard anodized nonstick sauce pan with lid is a great addition to anyone who cooks regularly. I love the nonstick feature on pans that make for a quick and painless cleanup. The pan is perfect for cooking noodles, macaroni and cheese, or simply boiling water. This is a quality pan that I personally use daily. The hard anodized material is a great protective layer that won't leave any unwanted scratches or marks on the pan.
