Have only used this saucepot a couple times, but found it to perform very well and of good quality for the price. Cooking and clean up was no different than my expensive set of C**** cookware made in France. I love that this pan has a glass lid and love, LOVE the side handles -- don't know why more pots and pans aren't made with handles like this. It really is a great buy, so don't hesitate to pick this one up.
