Le CreusetTri-Ply Stainless Steel 3 Quart Saucepan , Medium

great. works as advertised. east to clean

This doesn't stain as the other one I have from a major brand. Easy to clean and it is lighter. Best saucepan I've used.

100% my expecation

Really doesn't spill a drop if you're pouring hot tea or broth, like they said it wouldn't. Lightweight enough to hold with one hand and pour off liquid from pasta, etc. Love the long handle, but it will still get hot on a gas cooktop. Surgical-grade stainless steel was a must due to research on other metals being unsafe for cooking. Very expensive.

I'm returning to retract my review from earlier (below). I received a bit of education on the difficulty that I was having with cleaning the pot (note, no one at this company attempted to reach out to help or make recommendations), and I'm much more satisfied with the pot itself. I'm upgrading to four stars.--------------------------------------------------------This pot was delivered exactly one month ago. It's pretty out of the box, and has a nice sturdy feel. I had convinced myself that if I gave it time, I would resolve my concern. Doesn't appear to be the case. I've tried barkeepers, soaking etc., and the pot has a white film that won't completely clean off. Except for once, I haven't cooked food in it. I've only boiled water in it for my tea - using bottled spring water. Someone said in another comment that they, "Love how it cleans up." I'm wondering if we received the same item?So, I initially needed two pots, I still need two pots, and I'm out of quite a chunk of money to boot, which is pretty painful.

I got this for my wife who cooks every day. It's a great little saucepan. She likes having this small one for some uses, and it's surprisingly nice looking with its dark chrome (as long as you keep it very clean). Good buy.

Advertised as a 3 qt, it's really only a practical 2.5 qt. Misleading description.

Love how easily this cleans up.
