  • Great pot!
After some research, I decided to get this pot from Circulon as I had bought some other Circulon cookware which was good quality. This was to replace other pots which the non-stick coating had begun to degrade and peel off. I needed a good 2 qt capacity pot as the one I had got tossed cause the non-stick coating had begun to peel. Having now used this pot numerous times for cooking vegetables, rice, various dishes, it's excellent. It's not heavy and the quality is excellent. It heats evenly and fairly quickly, there are no scratches nor dings in the coating, inside or outside. It's still as non-stick as when it was new. I am impressed at how it performs. Clean up is a cinch, no sticking. Just out of habit, I don't use metal utensils with any of my non-stick pans. I have plenty of plastic and wooden cooking utensils. I handwash all my non-stick as I heard that dishwashers are unnecessarily harsh on the coating. Besides they are so easy to wash it's no hassle. Anyway this is a pot I would recommend for anyone looking for a good non-stick pot. It performs better than several other brands I have tried in the past. Good value for the money! ... show more

  • Awesome Pot!
I bought this to replace one of my stainless steel pans and I took a guess on how big I was replacing and this came smaller than I was thinking that it would be. That being said it also was taller than the other one so it works great for making gravy and soups for One. I live alone and it washes up with ease. It is textured on the inside, but I wasn’t sure if that was gonna cause cleaning issues but not at all. I wait for it to cool down and then I run it under hot water and spray it out wipe it out and it is clean and ready to go the next time I need it. ... show more

  • Best sauce pan ever
Very high quality pot with a great strainer lid and a durable finish. Nothing sticks to this thing! Great size for mac-n-cheese!

  • Pleasantly surprised
I ordered this to replace a similar, but ageing, Farberware pot that had the regular non-stick coating. The straining feature is good for pasta and other things, but I primarily used it for cooking rice, since the lid fit snugly and tended not to drip for that last phase with the fire turned off. When the Circulon arrived, I noticed the tolerance on the lid fit was much greater, and it also had a pouring spout on each side that could allow a bit more steam to escape. I almost returned it, but I decided I would just use it for other things than rice. I tried the rice, though, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it cooked the rice just fine. Moreover, the new kind non-stick construction is amazing! It really does clean up easily, and it's tough. The "coating" seems to be more integrated into the metal, rather than just an applied substance that can scratch off. I probably will minimize the use of metal utensils with it, but it seems strong enough to handle it. I just ordered a Circulon fry pan, and I may eventually replace all my stovetop pans with this brand. ... show more

  • Good quality pot
I’ve been using Circulon cookware for years. I had to replace my 1 quart pot because that’s the one that gets used the most and due to a couple of incidents where I left rice cooking on the stove too long and it stuck to the bottom and damaged the pot, I had to replace it. So I bought this. It’s not exactly like the one from my original set, but I like it. ... show more

  • Solid product
I just received my saucepan and am looking forward to using it. It is a perfect size for two people, 2 quarts, looks extremely solid. The anti stick quality looks as if I will use this many times. I like the lid with holes on the side to drain off water for example with potatoes and I also like the lip on the side of the pot that will make pouring a sauce or soup very easy. It is quite costly, but when you consider the number of times one uses a pot like this and for several years it is worth it. When I have used it I will reassess here the pros and if there are any cons. ... show more

  • Great value for quality
FYI this is smaller than you think, not a standard soup pan. We LOVE this brand and are slowly replacing all our pans with Circulon. Highly recommend for long lasting non stick
