Durable. Sturdy, Well built. I like how the diameter is wide compared to other 1 quart pots. Handles high heat from stove effectively. Cooks evenly. Made in the USA. The somewhat-large handle is sturdy and can certainly support more than the weight of the pot (with food), however, the handle does get hot when cooking. This pot is great for boiling liquids or cooking soup/stew for one (maybe two people) depending on what you are cooking. Otherwise, it is great a great sauce pan-just don't pour directly out of the pot (see below).
Wish lists: 1. While this version is awesome, I'm hoping that All-Clad would make a version with a silicone coating handle 2. My wife wishes there was a lip on this pot to prevent dribbles when pouring out of the pot 3. Pricey-Wait for this pot to go on sale (it happens a few times per year).
