2.5 Quart Stainless Steel Saucepan with Steamer Basket, Tri-ply Full Body, Multipurpose Sauce Pot with Two-Size Drainage Holes Lid, Perfect For Boiling Gravies, Pasta, Noodles

First impression was great. The cookware comes in a nice sturdy box. The welcome card is very nice. The cookware instructions are well written and helpful. I use the pot almost every day to steam fish/chicken/vegetables, cook pasta and make soups. Love the quality, size, weight, ease of cleaning and functionality of the cookware. Excellent product at an amazing price!

My wife cooks with this pot regularly and seems very satisfied with its performance. Great quality for a reasonable price! The steamer is a nice inclusion and is also quite useful. Recommended.

WONDERFUL, MORE THAN MET MY EXPECTATIONS. Beautiful stainless steel. Entire package beautifully presented, unusually so. Tough, very useable pot. Recommend highly. You will be delighted.

Perfect for 2 people to steam vegetables & make sauces. Excellent quality & highly recommend!

The handles on the steamer insert are welded, not riveted. Who knows how long all four welds will last?As one can tell from seller's picture, the pour spout is both narrow and short. Also, the corresponding drain holes in the lid are only two rows high.I have a similar pan with a glass strainer lid from a brand name company, but without a steamer insert. It has four height rows of drain holes in the lid, with a slighter larger spout.What the smaller spout and fewer drain holes in this pan and lid do, is make it slow to drain water out of say, pasta, while holding the lid on the pan, and tilting the pan sideways over the sink. So I just pour pasta out of this pan into a separate pasta strainer. Annoyingly poor design.Also, the first time I used then cleaned this, there were spots in the bottom of the pan. These are easily removed with an acid, such as clear vinegar or lemon juice. One may not get these spots immediately on a brand name pan? Mildly annoying, but unimportant.I have not seen a premium brand option that includes a steamer, pour spout, and drain lid, so I am sticking with this. And if there is (or were) one available, it would likely cost 2-4 times what this cost.'This is a good pot, but not excellent: you get what you pay for.

This saucepan is of excellent quality. The thick bottom ensures even heating, and the single handle design makes it easy to maneuver. The handle is made of stainless steel, so I don’t have to worry about it cracking or carbonizing over time like my previous wooden-handled Yukihira pot. In fact, the handle of that old pot broke right when I had just filled it with cold water to put on the stove—luckily not after cooking something hot, which could have been a disaster.The included steamer basket is also very well-designed, with its own handle that makes it convenient and safe to use. The glass lid is another great feature—it lets me monitor the cooking progress without lifting the lid. I highly recommend this pot!

So far love it , good quality made well and heavy duty , just right size for heating up a can of soup or similar content.

This pan is solid quality and serves numerous purposes, as it includes both a side spout and strainer. It is larger than I expected, but I am getting used to that and finding many uses for it. It also has a nice aesthetic.
