Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 3-Quart Pour Saucepan with Cover


The 3 quart saucepan is a great piece. The lid has perforated holes to allow either steam to excape, or when cooking pasta, the elimination of using a colander. The lip is a nice touch and much appreciated in a larger saucepan, whose use extends beyond reduction sauces, gravies, and hot beverages. Good to boil potatos and pasta. Probably deep enough to use as a double boiler for a small amount of melting, but have not tried yet. Coated to withstand metal utensils, but it is safer to use silicone. Easy clean up, but you must buy a hard anodized cookware cleaner or expect stains. Nice versatile sized item.
