Hello, to all who are interested in Pinzon cookware: Speaking as the manufacturer of this cookware I would like to make a note regarding the capacity markings. All Pinzon cookware has the added benefit of internal quart markings. These quart markings provide the opportunity to avoid using other measuring devices before pouring the contents in to the pot. It's a convenience that is indicative of the added value of Amazon's Pinzon cookware.

Some of you have remarked that the quart markings on the interior of the pots are misleading. Let me explain. The accepted standard of pot capacity by the Cookware Association of America is to measure capacity at the point the contents are full to the absolute brim of the pot. Thusly for a 3.5 qt saucepan, the last mark will be at 3.0 qts. The remaining 1/2 quart of capacity would fill the pot to the absolute maximum. While it is unrealistic to fill a pot that high, it's important that the capacity be a standard measurement (to the brim). Most pots are not marked internally. Therefore, users can reliably know that anything less than filling the pot to the brim is less than the capacity. For instance, if the user were to need 3 qts of water and used a 3.5 qt saucepan, the user would intuitively fill the pot to something less than the brim.

We hope this helps and we hope you enjoy Pinzon cookware.

I use this pan almost daily. All my other pans are well known brands and this pan holds up just as well & cooks as well. I would buy it again. We call this our potato pan because this is the one we always use to boil potato's. I like the glass cover too. It has one little hole to let some of the steam out.

Gave it to my parents since i got it by didn't have much use for it. They love it! Used it the night I gave it to them!!!

The quality is not the best but it was only $8.99 at that price I can use it for a while and toss it when it gets bad. It works well, it doesn't stick and seems to distribute the heat evenly. My only problem is the rim of the pot has rough spots and is missing some of the coating. Other than that it is pretty well made. I have used it several times now and have not had any problems. The glass lid has a steam hole that I really like and wish some of my more expencive cookware had one. All in all it's not so bad and will be used often.

Although this is strictly an ANODIZED cookware, not a nonstick pot, since I do not use it to fry food, it works very well for me. I would say that the pan is well designed and appears to be high quality.

recently i bought this item.....its a nice sauce pan.....only bad thing i feel abt this sauce pan is its very heavy......

I purchased this pan to add to the set I previously purchased from Amazon. It heats up evenly and is a nice size and lightweight. It is a great addition to my set.

I was surprised at the quality of this pan for the price. I really liked the measuring markings on the inside of this pan. It is very easy to clean.

If it sounds like it is too good to be true it probably is! This stuff was scratched and dented right out of the box. It is another example of the garbage from Chinese manufacturers that pervades our market.
Anodized coating is not hard nor thick enough---will not last.

I purchased this pot to add another dimension to my already huge collection, the funny thing is that I didn't have a 3qt pot? and it fit in nicely!
