I generally don't buy cookware with riveted handles, but I love the pouring spouts on this cookware. I have had the larger 3Qt pot with lid and pouring spout for several years. I love it and use it constantly ... so I thought I would give the smaller sauce pots a go!I recently ordered two of the small, Wearever, 1.2 quart saucepans from Amazon ... and was terribly disappointed. One out of the two leaks badly at the left side pop rivet. Unfortunately, I walked away about one minute after putting my brand new pot on the stove. I was making a honey infused sauce. The mess this darned pot made of my rather expensive, stainless steel, Bosch gas stove was horrendous! By the time I came back to the stove (maybe three minutes later), about 1 inch of the liquid from the pot had leaked all over the surface of the stove and the flame from the burner cooked it onto the surface of the stove. It took quite some time and a lot of elbow grease to clean up. All I can say is thank God for the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. They really are magic! Without them, my stovetop might have been permanently damaged.
I grew up using Wearever products and this experience has pretty much ended my relationship with them. Really poor quality control! How can ANY company sell a product with pop riveted handles and not at least test them to make sure the rivets don't leak? The other pot seems fine so far, but for obvious reasons, I don't have a lot of faith in it. I will certainly use it, but I intend to watch it like a hawk.
I live in the British Virgin Islands, so sending it back to the US really isn't worth the time, energy or postage. I threw it in the garbage. It's sad that things aren't made the way they used to be and that once trusted brand names seem to be losing user trust due to inferior quality control. Sigh.
For obvious reasons, I can't recommend this product. I really am sorry. Up until now I always thought Wearever was a very affordable and well made brand. Not so much anymore it seems. :(

This is a nice little stainless pan. It looks good; it conducts heat well.It has one drawback. The lid handle gets too hot when boiling anything. Solution: get a small nylon washer to put between handle and lid.
It has one quirk. When the lid cools off, you sometimes hear a little chirp.
