IMUSA 3.2qt Charcoal Aluminum Nonstick Caldero with Glass Lid, Black

I have a circulon dutch oven that I got about 3 years ago and it became my favorite pot because of it’s size and performance - can literally cook almost anything in it. Tried to find it online to order a second one for my vacation condo but no such luck, so I went looking for something similar. For my purposes there were 3 features that were requirements: 1) size - wanted 3-3.5 quart size… anything smaller would be too small and anything larger would be too cumbersome, especially given the circumstances at my vacation condo (tiny kitchen); 2) it had to be nonstick; and 3) I wanted the sloped sides (i make a lot of stir fries). I stumbled upon this one and was shocked at the price (was under $15 at the time I ordered it). Upon receiving it it was ever so slightly bent - not enough to actually ‘see’, but enough so that the lid didn’t fit tightly. Customer service was great and replaced it and the replacement is perfection. The skillet is SO light, which I love. The nonstick aspect is excellent… like REALLY excellent. And the shape is exactly what I was looking for. The only complaint I have about the pot is that the handles get really hot (which I was aware of from reading all the reviews, so it was not a surprise to me). From a design standpoint, they really need to upgrade this excellent pot with silicone covered handles. I ordered some silicone pot holder thingies (designed for the type of handles this pot has) for about $6, and the combo works to perfection (plus I can use them on a cast iron dutch oven I have). In a nutshell, the pot/skillet is an incredible value, and performs exceptionally well, plus it is quite lightweight. Be aware of the handles getting hot and as long as you are willing/able to work around that then this is an excellent product!

This pot here is a good pot, literally bang for the buck. Handles get hot, but just use some oven mits if you need to move it around while its hot for whatever reason.If you are looking for a pot this is your pot. I've cooked a bunch in it so far and it holds heat great, feels like pretty decent quality and looks nice.

I ordered this knowing it would be a lighter weight pot, perfect for making rice or cooking meat. Note the handles aren’t covered so they do get hot. But overall I love it!! It is quick to heat up, pretty nonstick, the perfect size for both a main dish or a side dish. Best of all it’s easy to clean, being lighter means I don’t risk dropping it and chipping my sink when wet. I’ve been using it daily for a little over a week and will be ordering a second one.

Too lightweight for some cooking but for the price serves its purposes very Well. Mostly a sauté and soup and stews.

Great size for soup making!

This is exactly what I was looking for to make rice. It's small but makes a lot. I love how it cooks the rice.

Lid doesn’t fit tightly and handles get very hot.

Haven't used it yet but it came packaged perfectly and it seems to be well made
