Love It.April 17, 2008 P. Palmer(Boston, MA) I love this saucepan. I have used it for everything from boiling potatoes to deep frying artichokes and it has handled every task very well. I use it often and it has become one of my favorite pans.
I love that it is extra deep. The self-straining lid makes it easy to boil food and saves dirty dishes. It feels sturdy and well-made and I like the soft feel of the handle. Clean-up is easy.
I recommend it highly.
Great looking, easy to cleanApril 17, 2008 growyounger(Northern Virginia, USA) I really like this saucepan. I bought it for the straining function. But I found it gets used all the time. It is very easy to clean inside out.
Great PanMarch 11, 2008 Wayne J. Hamilton We burned up our old one and this is better than the one that came withour original set. The "pour" lid feature is great for removing liquids before serving
This saucepan is great!February 10, 2008 MLT(Kansas) I absolutely love this pan! The straining feature is fantastic! The pan is heavy so I rest it against the side of the sink to help hold it steady. The handles stay cool so you don't need a potholder but you might want to use one to protect against the heat from the steam. I recently acquired the 10-pc. set of Anolon Advanced cookware and am very happy with it. The thing that bothers me most about the cookware is it takes a little longer to cook things because you can't use high heat. Boiling water takes a long time. The cookware is very sturdy and is a breeze to clean. So easy that it's not a big deal that it isn't dishwasher safe.
Anolon Advanced 3-1/2 Quart Covered Straining SaucepanFebruary 6, 2008 Yubit I bought this pot with the straining lid, some people say it is too heavy but I have found it is perhaps heavier than my other pots but I prefer using this pot over my old ones due to the features this pot has to offer with the strainer it makes for easier clean up & I can see the contents as it is cooking while the lid is on it and the nonstick makes for even faster cleanup! I've had this pot for about four months & I absolutely like cooking with it. I'm slowly building up my collection of this really good cookware and so far have been quite happy with it.
