CUISINART7193-20P Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Cook and Pour Saucepan with Cover

The saucepan is light and the lid has steam release holes/

I got this and the similar Rorence pour pot.The Cuisinart has a slightly nicer finish than the Rorence. But, the Rorence has a helper handle opposite the main handle, and it has pour spouts on BOTH sides. This means you can use it right or left handed. The Cusinart must be used holding the handle in the right hand. Not as great. Also, the Rorence holds 1/2 quart more, which is nice for noodles. I did a test, both boil 4 cups of water in exactly the same amount of time on my induction cooktop.

Great pan but it got a spot on the bottom after only a few uses. I didn't think much of it because I was doing a lot of boiling of garden vegetables to prepare them for the freezer. The spot never got any worse so I brushed it aside.Yesterday (less than a year from purchase) I now have a rust-looking stain on the side after boiling pasta. Now it looks unclean. I've never used a scouring pad on this pan other than the kind that do not scratch surfaces.I bought this as a treat to myself. Pretty disappointed. Would not buy it again.

All the things you expect from a good quality Cuisinart brand. Well designed , easy to carry and clean and great even distribution of heat for cooking. A must have in a well equipped kitchen.

Use it for whenever I’d like to whisk my coffee, create foam & enjoy a hot latte. Perfect size for also making gravy. Easy to clean. Be sure to dry it immediately with your kitchen hand towel. Otherwise you will find water spots. Otherwise I have no complaints.
