I wasn't quite sure when I bought it if I would have to return it because for that price, I couldn't believe my eyes. I usually buy high-end pots and pans. I decided to buy this one because it was the perfect size for our beach house to be able to make a large meal, steam some crabs, Make pasta, etc.. The design of this pot is wonderful. It is the perfect height and a nice weight. I could not believe the beautiful double bottom and the lid. I also bought the larger stock pot with the glass lid and that is just as perfect as this one. It's a great value, it should clean well because it is stainless steel and for the price you're getting a high-end pan. I didn't want any handles because of the small space in the kitchen. I am going to use it in and this way, I don't have to worry about a handle getting in the way of a spatula or a spoon, or ending up over the burner. Absolutely worth buying.
