I bought this saucepan to supplement the very expensive set of C***** cookware made in France that I recently purchased. I can say this little pan is every bit as worthy as my other cookware. If I'd known this, I could've saved myself some serious bucks and purchased a whole set of Cooks Standard instead of my others. Very nice, so don't hesitate to buy this 1.5 quart or any other size of Cooks Standard Multi-ply SS cookware. I don't yet have a new induction cooktop, so can't attest to its performance in that regard, but this should work nicely when I upgrade my kitchen appliances.
