This pot is well made, made in the US, and good for ceramic stovetops. It is on the heavy side for its size, but that is because it has an aluminum core that extends up the sides of the pot as well. We like the fact that it is dishwasher safe. Also, the lid is made here, unlike the lid from our All-Clad fry pan, where only the pan is made here but the lid is made in China.

It's a solid saucepan, but there are a few things that keep me from loving it.

For one thing, the rivets are set fairly low, so that the food is almost always touching them. For another, I don't think the helper handle helps much at all. There's not really anything heavy enough that would require the extra handle, and it gets really hot from being so close to the element. As well, the long handle part of it is too hefty for the size of the pan. I'd say that it probably makes up more than half of the weight, so that it feels almost unbalanced when empty on the stove.

I generally don't use this unless my other saucepans are unavailable.
