I have to disagree with almost everyone reviewing this one. The balance is a bit "tippy" but Not overbalanced when EMPTY because of the small bottom area contacting the burner. This same quality allows the the pan to heat quickly on very low heat and it heats evenly and cooks beautifully. It also pours without dripping and works well as a small chef's pan. I use it to reduce, saute, and even stir-fry in small amounts. The lid from the I.5 qt. saucepan fits exactly.
This ability to interchange covers is a benefit many Cuisinart Chef's Classic pieces share. Regarding handle proportion; Cuisinart Chef's Classic handles are individually sized to match and balance proportionately the individual pans better than ANY brand I have seen. This includes the vaunted and, in my opinion, highly overated / overpriced All-Clad which I do own!
I usually cook for one and in smaller proportions so this pan is a perfect size. It is difficult to find good cookware in smaller sizes.
Also, some points about this and all stainless cookware and the numerous complaints about sticking, burning and problematic cleaning I read on Amazon; Turn down the heat ( You don't need it! ), throw away that worthless and totally inappropriate steel wool and use Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami just like the instructions and all those smart folks keep telling Us.
Lastly...How can Anyone rate a product and denigrate the design of same when they do not own it and have not used it and conversly, how can anyone find such a review helpful ?

When empty it's difficult to get this pot to stand up to pour in what ever it is we want to heat. If we are lucky, what ever we've managed to get into the pot doesn't tip over and pour out while cooking. And don't even think of half way emptying the thing or you will definitely spill hot liquid all over the place. How did this thing pass safety standards. It was definitely a waste of our money.Best Deals for Cuisinart 735-16OP Chef's Classic Stainless 1-Quart Pour Saucier
In addition to the "tippiness" observed by the other reviewer, part of which is just a side effect of the otherwise-desirable saucier shape, the problem with this pan is that the aluminum disk is simply too small to make this a good pan for sauces, particularly if you are cooking with gas. No matter how small your flame, you get hot spots on the thin lower walls of the pan. Had I thought more about the design before purchasing I would definitely have bought the anodized aluminum version.It is an attractive pan and pours well, so my initial thought after discovering the poor cooking performance was to use it on the table for serving gravies and sauces. Unfortunately, the tippiness makes that kind of an unwise idea.
Honest reviews on Cuisinart 735-16OP Chef's Classic Stainless 1-Quart Pour Saucier
I have three other Cuisinart pans and they are all 5 stars. This one is "tippy." The handle is too heavy in relation to the pan. Potentially dangerous, definitely annoying. Cooks great due to aluminum bottom, but use caution.After 9 months, I rarely use this pan.
1 star is all i wold give it now.
After 6 years, I NEVER use this pan. It would be gone from my kitchen it it took up more space, and may go in the next round of sending things off to various re-use places at the recycle center, charity garage sales, charity thrift stores. Still one star.
A one star review is a rare one for me to give because they often very personal or about some dumb thing that could have been easily corrected with an exchange or refund. But this is a one star item. The pan tips over and hot stuff spills out. That is bad.

I should have heeded the reviews on this pan. I really don't like it. It is tippy, and there should be a pour spout on both sides. Would not recommend.
