I thought it would have the same Zwilling standards, but this has a handle that gets super hot during cooking. My arthritis makes it impossible to use a hot handle with a pot holder. This was an expensive purchase that functions like a bargain basement product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The heat spreads evenly always and produces beautiful reduced sauces. The new style of lid with venting yet preventing splashing is much appreciated, as are the pouring lip points.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The general construction of the pot feels solid, and the multi-layer stainless steel ensures even heat distribution. Coating is also very nonstick out of the box (slightly burned some oatmeal to it, and it wiped out with just a little soap and a soft sponge). Love having the pour spout for single-serving soups. Perfect size for a ramen (if you don't put too much extra stuff in it).
The coating on the rim chipped the first time I used it. I think it's a major design flaw that the coating extends to the rim which rubs against the lid.
Also, this pot is a little smaller than the previous 1QT pot it replaced. It fits 1QT, but I wouldn't put that much liquid at a full boil, as it would likely splash out especially near the spout area. Would like the pot to be slightly enlarged.
Given these flaws (especially the questionable durability of the coating), I'd hesitate to pay list price for this pot, it's very expensive and you'd likely be just as well served by a cheaper nonstick pot that wouldn't be as expensive to replace.
