Stainless Steel Saucepan

Love this pot. Great size, beautiful stainless steel finish, love the glass top.

Got this to use on my portable induction cooker and it's just the right size, not too big and not too small. It has good heft and it cleans up easily. It's a good value for what I paid.

Super quality, excellent metal. I'm very happy with the purchase. I bought it along with a frying pan and a stove.

With the acquisition of our new induction cooktop we had the need, er, opportunity to buy new cookware. (Saying goodbye to our mom's Revere Ware was hard, but It's saved to be passed on to our daughter in turn. (Yes, both my wife and I had Revere Ware from our mom's. Mine date from her wedding, good solid stuff, but no good for induction. Wow, it must be close to 70 years old, if it really was a wedding present. But I digress.) We bought this pot and one from a far more expensive brand to compare the two. Both are excellent, leaving me to wonder why I'd bother with the more expensive one. I won't. I just ordered two more pots by Duxtop. In fact I like the handle on the Duxtop better than the one on the more expensive brand. I don't know what the extra $$$ buys you( 3X as much!). The pot heats well, feels nice and hefty, cleans well, etc. I mean it's a cook pot, what is there to say, right? But in the end, I like it and I'm buying more.

I gave the pan a 4 for 2 reasons: (1) It is heavy, especially when it has full of food. It is is a good size. (2) The handle design. When I pour from the pan, I need to hold the handle close to the pan to offset the weight; therefore the handle narrows there and makes it difficult to keep a good grip. An extra grab handle opposite the pan handle would be a great help. I also purchased the quart size which has some weight,but due to the smaller size I don't have a problem pouring from it The good points: (1) I like the way it rests on the glass top of my stove. Since the sides and bottom are at a right angle, it fits the burner completely and is flat to the surface. (2) The bottom has channels that seem to disburse the heat well as well as the thick bottom which doesn't produce "hot spots". (3) The glass lid fits well, has some weight and a vent. (4) Great quality and stainless. . ,

These pots are made from 18/10 stainless steel. 18/10 stainless is the designation of stainless steel that had 18% chromium and 10% nickel as components in the alloy which gives it rust resistance. Since the nickel is a molecular part of the alloy there should be no concern about nickel leaching out for those of you who are concerned about such things. 18/10 stainless is not magnetic - so why do these work on our induction cook-top? The bottom of the pots are made from a different stainless steel alloy that is magnetic. For heat transfer, an aluminum disc is encapsulated between the magnetic bottom and the 18/10 pot. The bottoms are thick enough so they should not warp with use as happens with lesser quality pots. The lids both have internal 'drip' edges which allows water that condenses on the interior of the glass to be returned to the pot. The interior diameter of the 2.5 qt pot is 7 inches and it is 3.75 inches deep. The diameter of the base is 7 inches. The handle is very nicely contoured to fit in the hand. The interior diameter of the 4.2 qt pot measures 8.5 inches and is 4" deep. The two loop handles each extend about 2.25 inches from the pot and the bottom diameter is 8.5 inches. Very happy with these purchases and believe they will provide years of great service.

I got this to use on a convection hot plate and it worked fine. But I normally use it every day on a regular stove where it also works great. I really like the glass see-through lid with a vent but the handle on top can get hot. The pot itself is well made the handle is well-connected, doesn't get loose.It's easy to clean up with baking soda and vinegar if need be and it's very nice looking. A veggie steamer fits inside - to put the lid on you can pull the sides of the steamer in a bit and the lid fits on top of it and shuts tightly. Very nice stainless steel quality

After having this pan for two months, I can definitely recommend it. It is well-made, has a good weight to it, looks good and evenly and quickly heats up. I also love the lid! Again, well-made, and I like that you can see the food inside. The only strange thing is the pan and lid came wrapped in bubble wrap, instead of in a manufacturer box. Not sure why, but it doesn't matter.
