with apologies to the classic billy wilder/marilyn monroe film...i bought this sleek little saucy pan and was pleased that i did not have to worry about the evil that aluminum pans dispense. the idea of the clear cover was an added attraction as who can resist being able to see what heat does to various foodstuffs. after removing it from its excellent packaging i washed it and rushed off to make some english breakfast tea in my lovely shiny new pot. i watched with pleasure as the water heated and stood impatiently with teabag in hand. Finally it was time and i reached out with one hand for the handle to adjust the pot and with the other hand grabbed the cute round lid handle when my pain sensors informed me that something was terribly terribly wrong. hot! hot! Hot! HOT!!!
and then i knew. the joke was on stoopid me. i have always had pans with the black rubbery or plastic handles, pot lid handles the same. granted i should have known that an all-stainless steel pot would be hot, but no where was there any indication in the specs that pot holders are necessary with this item and i am embarrassed to admit that it never even occurred to me....the pan IS a sleek, pretty thing and the top is quite enchanting but if you are a person who wants a no-think pot to heat your foods in, this is NOT the one for you.

I have used this pan twice, once washed in dishwasher. So far, so good. and I paid less even with shipping than I would have and not get what I really wanted in a K-Mart, for example. I wanted this size with the see-thru top (not with a pouring edge) and that's what I got.

This is a great size to heat sauce for two, make oatmeal for two, etc.
Easy to clean. The clear lid helps to see when it's about to boil.
