I am very clear about my criteria for cookware. Pans must feel substantial without being too heavy, must heat evenly, must be easy to clean, must be adaptable to a variety of uses, and finally, must look good hanging in my kitchen. This pan easily meets all these criteria! Since I received it (excellently packaged, as fine cookware should be), I find I use it often, always with excellent results. And I love pairing it with the CIA steamer insert. Now that I am retired and have more time to enjoy cooking, I have begun treating myself to cookware I can truly be excited about. I am so glad I decided to purchase this piece.

This is my first saucier, and I can say that it is a wonderful shape in which to cook. Whipping, or stirring with a silicone spoon, is so much fun when the shapes match!

This particular saucier seems to do its job very well, with even heating and good heat retention. It is also, IMO, very attractive in a utilitarian way. The 3-quart size is perhaps too large when making a bit of sauce for two, but quite nice for something like gumbo or risotto. I think someday I will get the 1-quart as well, and most certainly stay with this manufacturer. The top for this pan also fits 1 or 2 other CIA pots. There is also a steamer/pasta insert available.

I would also like to point out that the weight of the handle is NOT so much as to unbalance the empty pan, as happens with some of my All Clad pans that have difficulty laying flat on my electric stove.
