Excellent quality and versatility
Without a doubt, this is the most versatile piece of cookware I have ever owned.
Let's start with the basic form and shape. This is a deep, steep-sided pan, but rather than being just a simple cylinder like a stock pot, the sides curve upward. The depth allows it to be used as a stock pot (and thanks to the copper core, water boils in it much more quickly than in my stainless steel pots of equivalent size), but the curved sides allow it to be used as a wok or even as a skillet (as long as you don't have to flip things like pancakes). Browning meat for a sauce or soup, sauteing vegetables, or boiling water for pasta all work equally well. Ever since I bought this pan, I've made very little use of my stainless steel pots for anything other than steaming. The lid fits well (and makes a great lid for a 12" skillet too). An added bonus is that this pan isn't so large that it crowds out the adjacent burner.
Fit and finish? As good as it gets. On most pans, the rivet...
Nice size and weight to this pot
This pot is perfect for my portable induction cooktop. I will use this pot mainly for rice and stew recipes. The sloping sides of the saucier make it so easy to turn rice over and to stir stews without any spillages. I wouldn't use metal utensils on it although it's been treated with a tough non-stick interior to withstand that abuse.
So far so good
I have used this pot for a few month and it is one of the best pans I have ever had. I cook a lot and usually wear out pans pretty quick. This pan is holding up well to my cooking punishments. It warms up quick and is easy to clean.
