Although I like the shape and size of this pan, the handle gets incredibly hot. I have other Cuisinart pans that this doesn't happen with.

Wonderful non-stick cookware! The copper in the bottom of this pan affords quick even heating without being overly cumbersome to handle. This is also very durable cookware and I love being able to go from stovetop to oven and then to the dishwasher when necessary. Note: My cookware came with stainless steel lids rather than clear lids.

This has been a great size for two peoples worth of vegitables and sauces. We have three of these and they have been used almost every day for the past six months. No problems with the nonstick coating, even with some very sticky teriyaki sauces. They clean up fast and go in the dishwasher most of the time, although just a bit of running water usually cleans them. The lid fits very well and it heats up very quickly.

For those that have used it and had fumes and funny tastes, there is a plastic coating that you should remove before cooking.

I'm used to using Calphalon Professional grade cookware, but I just wanted one small nonstick saucepan. I used it for the first time yesterday and was very disappointed. It heated up very slowly, the fumes from the coating were noxious and the food even tasted like the coating was in it. And this was just for hot cereal. Then, when I went to clean it, I had to scrub it harder than my cookware without the nonstick. This is a very low grade Cuisinart product compared to those I've seen in specialty shops. I guess you get what you pay for!

WHILE I USUSALLY STAY AWAY FROM STAINLESS STEEL POTS, THIS ONE I LOVE. CUISINART BEING MY FAVORITE OF ALL COOKWARE, I DECIDED TO TRY THIS & I THINK IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE FOR MAKING SMALL QUANITES OF SOUPS, AND SO MUCH MORE, BECAUSE I NORMALLY ONLY COOK FOR TWO. HOWEVER, WHEN WE ENTERTAIN, IT IS PERFECT FOR SO VERY MANY DIFFERENT FOODS, SAUCES AND MORE. I LOVE THE NON STICK SURFACE, VERY DURABLE AND EASY TO CLEAN. THE OUTSIDE OF THE POT AND COVER ARE ALSO VERY DURABLE AND STAY SHINNY WITH EASE. I'M SO GLAD I MADE THIS PURCHASE!
