Question: Are the sides of this pot straight enough so that when I clip my digital themoter to the pan it will stand straight up rather than at an angle?
Document: I'm happy enough with this and the build is fine. The lid handle isn't rubberized or anything so can get hot. The straining spout sides give some room for heat to escape, the hole in the lid itself is a little large and the fit of the lid is ok but not great.It works fine with our induction burners but I've had other pots just seem a little more reactive. In other words, it's fine, I'm just not sure it's the best.
This is apparently the opposite on gas ranges where you have heat a little higher on the sides of the pot, but I have never had any problems with the handle.The bad.The lid. Everything about the lid.It's a good thing this thing is dishwasher safe because that lid is a nightmare to clean.
I needed a pot that would work on my Induction counter top. And it works great.The strainer on the glass lid is a bonus. For an old bachelor it works great.I can even cook spaghetti in it. At first I didn't think it was big enough.I was delivered 2 days ahead of time. That's a good thing.
Bought this at a local retailer chain for slightly less money. Like the weight and finish. Cooks well. Could be a bit thicker on the sides but overall good pan. Only thing that detracts is the hollow s/s handles. I personally do not like them.
I was making a honey infused sauce. The mess this darned pot made of my rather expensive, stainless steel, Bosch gas stove was horrendous! By the time I came back to the stove (maybe three minutes later), about 1 inch of the liquid from the pot had leaked all over the surface of the stove and the flame from the burner cooked it onto the surface of the stove. It took quite some time and a lot of elbow grease to clean up.
This was purchased as a gift for a family member who's husband is fighting cancer and it was advised to stay away from all "coated" pans. After seeing it, I wished I could keep it for myself - love the strainer in the lid and pour spouts on both sides of the pan. The family member reported they really liked the pan as well.
Currently I have a mixed combination of pans in these brands because I care much less whether they are all by the same manufacturer rather than having just exactly the type of pans I want for cooking without paying an arm and a leg for them.September 12, 2011 update:  I flat out love this pan.
Love the size, love the dual drain spouts with different sized holes. The pan is well made & plenty heavy enough for me. I use this to brew & drain gunpowder tea pearls for iced tea, it works better than I would have thought for the draining part. I'm thinking of getting another one.
I am slowly replacing a set of pans I have had for 20 years. The feature I am looking for is the strainer in the lid; it saves washing a colander or strainer. This pan is exactly what I wanted. The reason is it 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that you have to use potholders to hold the lid and the handle. Not the worst thing, but I didn't need to do that with my old set, so I'm spoiled.
This is a beautiful saucepan. It is solid and so practical. I cannot recommend it enough.
Answer: Yes, the sides are pretty well straight. I think you're thermometer would stand up straight without any problem.
