Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Saucepan w/Cover, Chef's Classic Stainless Steel Cookware Collection, 719-16

Great pots. Clean up easy and have a lip for easy pouring. They look brand new and I use them every day. Not too heavy but still quality. Lid fits perfectly flush with no vent so keep that in mind. I like that feature but I have placed the lid on when rice boiling and it went over a little . You can place lid on with a little opening and avoids that untill the simmer starts. Water heats up quick!

We have had this for YEARS and really enjoyed it. Recently we decided to buy a second one because so many of our kids are cooking now that we oftern need more pots. Its is our go to brand for pots. Very durable and functional. The stainless steel makes it easy to clean and it's dishwasher safe. We enjoy this smaller size for sauces or making food for just a couple people . Can't recommed it any more highly. We really love these pots!!

My new Set of Stainless Steel Saucepans is great, but wished it also had a 1 1/2 qt. size. Found this here, and ordered. Quite pleased with its performance, quality, and look! It also has been through the dishwasher and still looks fine. The price was very reasonable, it works perfectly with my counter top Induction Appliance, and also with the gas burners on the stove. The handle and lid handle do get a bit hot, but so does my other set, so - no worries, use pot holders! Glad I got this, a perfect size for our small family, especially for cooking side dish veggies!

Very good quality, functions well and looks sharp1

For many years I have used Caphalon commercial anodized aluminum sauce pans. They are finally beginning to spall and flake on the outside, so I decided to try a stainless steel sauce pan. This looked like a good middle of the road pan, and not too expensive, so I bought it. The first attempt to use it was for steel cut oats. I toast the oats in butter before adding the water. As the pan heated up with its contents, I heard a faint popping sound within the bottom portion, due most probably to the dissimilar expansion rates of the steel exterior vs. the sandwiched aluminum core. As a mechanical engineer, these sounds trouble me a bit, because they are usually harbingers of some kind of early failure in the attachment bond between the metals. Anyway....on with the oats.After 10 minutes on the lowest setting of the smallest burner on my LP range, the oats were burned (my usual toasting time on the Caphalon thick aluminum took about 10 minutes). However, the stuck-on black material easily came off the bottom with just a plastic scratch pad and some water. Second attempt went better - I paid attention, and they were done in just 3 minutes. I noticed that the bubbling of the butter occurred quite evenly across the entire bottom of the pan, due to the heat dispersing characteristics of the aluminum "sandwich" layer in the bottom of the pan. Once browned, I added water to the pan, and placed my cast iron flame tamer over the burner. (I hate LP ranges - it's like cooking over a laboratory bunsen burner).The simmering period (I let them go for 1 hour) was excellent. The water boiled very gently, and in spite of the tiny gas burner, the heat was dispersed very nicely, with steam bubbles rising equally across the entire bottom of the pan. For heat dispersion abilities, I would rate this pan a full 5 stars, as it is better even than my heavy cast iron, and weighs much less.It loses one star because even though the handle on the lid looks hollow (and therefore cool), it still gets too hot to touch, even with a low burner flame. But then so did my Caphalon. Note to self: Use a potholder on the lid. This deficiency is fully corrected on the pot's handle, which stayed at near room temperature throughout the cooking process. 5 stars on the handle - well made, very sturdy, light weight, and stays cool to the touch.Lastly, the rolled edge on the rim of the pan, and the manner in which the lid nests inside, works very well to reduce or eliminate steam condensation and dripping down the exterior sides while simmering liquids. Performance on this was excellent.I suspect this pan, like any stainless steel cookware, will eventually get blackened a bit on the outside, unless you are very diligent at scrubbing it off after each use.All in all, I am quite satisfied with this pan, and would recommend it.

I have purchased this pan a few times over the years. I use it constantly and sometimes forget when I leave it on the stove boiling water and walk away. Yes, I have warped more than one of these saucepans over the years. If you leave it boiling water on the highest heat setting for a few hours the water will eventually evaporate the pan will turn light blue and warp. : )PROS:- The small size makes it very convenient to prepare a couple of servings or just to boil water for a cup of tea.- The Cuisinart Chef Classic heats faster than the Cuisinart Multi-Clad. I prefer it for quickly boiling water or making soup.- The stainless steel finish is beautiful and easy to clean with a little Barkeepers Friend.- This line of cookware will last for years.- The Cuisinart Chef Classic cookware is relatively lite in weight compared to the multi-clad options on the market.- Cooking is very even and predictable.- No drips when pouring directly from the pan.- If you forget and leave the pan boiling water on the highest heat setting for a few hours it can be replaced for a few dollars.- Excellent saucepan for the price.CONS:- Your visitors will envy you for having such beautiful and sparkling cookware. Friends are actually intimidated when they see the gleaming stainless steel Cuisinart pans in my kitchen. Their first question is always, do ever cook in these pans? I laugh and respond every day. : )

Works great on our induction cooktop. Thick yet even cooking throughout. It is enjoyable to cook with.
