Title: Handy & good value
Review: A very handy pot for sauce making, particularly if you need to reduce liquids quicly. The shape allows easy access for a whisk, spoon, spatula etc. The pan heats quickly and evenly. Because it's not as heavy as high-end (i.e., expensive) pans it doesn't retain heat as well, so you have to use some additional care in use; but, if you're making sauces, you're probably standing over the pan the whole time anyway, so this is a minor quibble.The reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is: 1) the handle is spot welded on rather than riveted, and, 2) it's not as thick as the very top of the line sauce pans (Falk, All-clad, etc) and may not take as much abuse over time. If you plan to use this as one of the workhorse pans in your kitchen, then consider buying a heavier saucier with a riveted handle (but you'll spend a LOT more).But, if you're like me and most home cooks, this pan will be just fine for everyday use, and the price can't be beat for a pan of this quality.
