Wonderful, versatile multi-use pot
If you only have one pot in addition to your frypan and roaster, I'd recommend this 2-quart one or the equivalent 3-quart model. This one sits on the back of my stove all the time -- gets used, washed (easily!!) and put back there frequently. Heats well, cleans nicely, and strains astonishingly well with the multiple use glass lid (good for draining off boiled eggs, pasta, reheatable packages of previously prepared food, etc.). Keeping a little moisture in your food or stirring regularly (or both) makes the pot almost wipe-out clean. If you ever get food stuck on the inside, just soak in the sink for 10-15 minutes in soapy water (cold for starchy foods like oatmeal, hot for anything else) and watch the stuck-on food slip off under the faucet afterwards (avoid the dishwasher, though, if you'd mind if the mirror finish starts to wear down a bit...). This is the most used pot in my whole house and has been for almost 20 years. Love it and give it as gifts to others, too.
