I bought this for making candy during the holidays and found I love it, so I use it all the time. Perfect size for me and I love the lid since I can drain things from the pot without havine to dirty up another dish.
I requested this as a Christmas present to replace an aging, budget saucepan left over from college. It is solid, well-made, and a great utensil in my kitchen arsenal. It heats evenly, strains when I need it to, and I love using it for sauces, gravies and soups!
