Cooks Standard2-Quart Hard Anodized Nonstick Saucepan with Lid, Black

Well-made pan. I have hard anodized pans from several different brands, high end and more budget-friendly brands, too. I find this pan to be, while at a very nice price, integrous of materials and manufacturing.It is a nice, thick hard anodized material, which is something I appreciate. A lot of, especially lesser expensive, hard anodized seems to be getting thinner and thinner. This one is right up there with the nicest I have in terms of thickness and quality manufacturing. The handle is a nice, heavy stainless steel and well riveted onto the pot. The nonstick is clearly of very good quality. With a nonstick of this quality, and if treated as nonstick should be, this will last a very long time.The glass lid is beautifully framed in thick stainless steel and the handle is riveted on with heavy-duty stainless steel rivets. While I'm on the subject of the rivets - I appreciate that the rivets on both the pan and the lid are stainless steel on the inside. Some cheaper brands will have aluminum rivets that are not only less attractive, but they will be reactive and not hold up as well either. Anyway, the lid is beautifully constructed of heavy materials that are well put together. It does have a steam hole in it which I can give or take. The steam hole is also nicely framed in stainless steel.Cooking with it, the nonstick performed well. With nonstick coatings I would never use high heat or those oil sprays. Also, hand-washing is clearly instructed in the materials with the pan. Putting nonstick pans in the dishwasher will eventually ruin the surface, and the same goes for any hard-anodized material as well.This is my first pan of this brand, but I'm impressed and will keep the brand in mind when looking for other sizes or types. If they continue with this quality, they can compete with more expensive brands.

Replaced an old teflon coated pan. I have stainless cookware but sometimes you just need a coated cook pan. Heavy duty, durable, cooks great. Better than my old T-Fal version. Gets better heat distribution so I had to learn to reduce the heat or reduce cook times. Nothing sticks to it. Use it to make gravy from scratch and it rinses right out. Would have bought the smaller one but they were out of stock. You can’t go wrong with this pan.

I really like this pot but I was not aware of the sizes because most of the time I buy it in person onsite. I order a 3 quart thinking it was a 2 quart size and it really makes a huge difference accordingly with what is the use you are going to perform. But so far quality is good, is light weigh, easy to clean. Saying all that, it looks very good. Nevertheless, I wish I had the right size. Now I'll have to buy another one, which I will do in person :)

I haven’t used it yet but I know it’s going to be good. I do agree with one other comment that it looks smaller than a 3 quart. The comment stated that it looks like a 2.5 quart and I do agree. Other than that it’s a great quality pot at a decent price.**Update** Used it after my initial review and it’s great. Easy to clean.

Very nice pot and heavy. I would have expected to pay much more . It replaced a pot I had for 50 years . This pot is much better

I have a whole set of this brand and needed another this size. These are great pots and pans, cook well and clean easy. I have had the others in the set several years and they still look great and retain the non-stick finish. However, the new pot does not have a pour spout and my older ones do. Highly recommend this brand of pots and pans.

EDIT: I have now had this for two years and it's in as great of shape now as when I got it, and I USE IT ALL THE TIME! I don't use metal utensils on it, but I have had other cookware that was more expensive that scratched with plastic or silicone utensils. THIS IS A GREAT BUY! BUT because of it's sturdiness, it is HEAVY. Fine for a one quart, but as I tend toward tendonitis, when I need a THREE quart pot, I found a lightweight brand. SO if heaviness is an issue for you, wonderful for a one quart, for a three quart, maybe a tad heavy. .JUST GREAT construction. SO WELL MADE. I'm very happy. The proof will be in the wear, but then I don't SCRAPE pots or pans that have a non stick coating with metal utensils, so am hoping this will last. But first impression is STURDY. The handle on the lid is extremely secure, which is important to me. I wanted a great small pot as I cook for one, but didn't want to spend a fortune. This looks to fit the bill nicely. It is big enough to make a large serving of oatmeal in the morning or a suitable serving of pasta for lunch. If you're cooking for one, or just need a small pot for your pots and pans arsenal, may I suggest you look at the one.

I needed another sauce pan. It just works, more heavy than I thought it would be. It's a deep pan with a nice sitting lid. Sits firmly on the stove. I believe it's well worth the money.

Me gustó el tamaño, porque vivo solo y es lo que necesito, para no cocinar de más. Y les compré otra más grande para cuando tenga visitas, pero llegó dañada, parece que por la compañía Estafeta, NO LA UTILICEN. gracias

I bought this 1 quart beauty recently and I love it. It's the perfect size to cook my steel cut oats every morning. :) It is anodized, which means the coating is extremely durable and (most importantly) free of the dangerous chemicals that are present in typical non stick coatings. This is a high quality product with solid construction and ample weight to it. When you hold it in your hand, you know it's something that will last a very long time.

I bought this pot because i love tapioca pudding and the boiling milk dosent stick to the bottom like my other pans and it is a breeze to clean after.It is well made and looks great,this pot will be around for a long time.

Good quality

Good little saucepan for cooking rice. in fact I bought it for scrambling eggs as the enamelled cast iron Le Creuset stuff is great but eggs love to adhere to its surface and it's a massive pain to clean. So far really happy with this little guy - easy to clean, perfect size, good quality.
