Cookware Reviews

This is the pan that my children (and their parents) used for cooking
oatmeal, melting butter, making cocoa, heating soup, and an assortment
of other homely cooking projects. It's a great all-around pot that is
smartly designed and heavy enough to heat things evenly, but not so
heavy that carrying it when it's full will be a chore. In contrast to
French copper pots, this one has a stainless steel interior rather
than tin, and is considerably more useful, because lighter in
weight. If you occasionally forget about the rice or the oatmeal, your
pot will not be wrecked - even after hours of heat baking the
food. Soak in cold water and scrape it off - gracefully, in fact. Food
can be scrubbed off with no fear of scratching the steel. Any old
copper cleaner will polish the exterior. The lid has a loop handle, so
that it can slip over the pot's handle for easy storage. This is a
costly item, but will last forever, cleans easily, and is just plain
beautiful to look at. It's simply a great gift, and by the way
"All-Clad" products last a lifetime (and are warrantied as
such).
