A surprisingly well-made and robust half-liter pot! Very pleased!
This little stainless steel, Induction-compatible pot is extremely well made, and heavy duty. Totally unexpected quality for sure!The are indelible markings on the inside of the pan for precise liquid measurement. The steel is relatively heavy, and the pan will not tip on its own. The handle is very securely riveted to the pan and long enough to avoid heating excessively while using.The tri-ply aluminum encapsulated base is made to assure quick uniform heating over the entire bottom. The pan cleans very easily and if any stains or marks are left after using, they can be removed quickly in a number of ways using vinegar, barkeepers friend, lemon juice, or other methods.This is a perfect little pan for making small batches of sauces (we use it for making from-scratch teriyaki sauce), as well as melting butter or cheese, and in our case for heating sake in Japanese pouring bottles.Exceptional design, function, and performance. A clear winner without heavy branding. FIve Stars and a very honest and hearty recommendation if you are looking for a very small pan like this! A+++ !!

Sturdy, pretty, two spouts, doesn’t tip on gas grate
Update:It’s been 5+ years, and I’m still using these great little saucepans. They’ve held up beautifully—still shiny, no stains, and the measurement marks are still there after heavy scrubbing and hundreds of trips through the dishwasher. Really happy with them. If only I could get a 1-qt/liter size with the exact same design!Nice pan. It’s not All-Clad, but they don’t offer anything comparable, and this one is pretty much exactly what I wanted. It’s sturdy and well constructed, and basically matches my All-Clad pieces.Bottom is perfectly flat and relatively broad, and the tri-ply makes it heavy enough to sit evenly on the heavy grates of my gas range, without tipping, even though it’s a very small pan. The spouts work really well (not always the case), and it’s great that there’s one on each side, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re pouring with your left or right hand.My only minor gripe is that the volume markings appear to be painted, not engraved or stamped into the steel. I plan to use this pan primarily to heat milk for coffee, so you know it’s going to end up getting scrubbed regularly. Needless to say, I’m fully expecting the markings to be gone in no time. Also, I wish it had a lid, but I bought it in spite of this, knowing that it really wasn’t a dealbreaker.All in all, this seems to be a great little saucepan so far, especially for the price, and for my limited applications.UPDATE: Bought a second one! Been using, scrubbing, running through dishwasher, etc., and both still have their measure marks and look pretty much like new. Would rather have engraved marks, mainly for better visibility, but they’ve not worn off, so they’re good enough.

Appears to be well made
We were looking for a small sauce pan to heat up butter and one serving meals and soups. This is the perfect size for this need. The pot itself appears to be extremely well made. It is heavy enough to not tip over when empty and has a good solid feel to it. Overall I am pleased with this product.

Perfect in every way, no joke
I love these pots. I bought both sizes, thinking I would return the one I didn’t need, but I’m keeping both because they’re such beautiful and sturdy pots. I wish only these: that these pots came with equally good lids and that this company would make some larger pots of the same quality with lids (and no pour spouts). I’d buy them in a hot minute!

good size
holds enough liquid for recipe requirementsbe careful to watch the pot if on the stove top as the liquid will boil away but that's the user's problem not the pot's

Perfect for heating small amounts of liquid
This pan is perfectly made! The bottom is nice and heavy so that it doesn't tip easily and it heats up milk evenly without hot and cold spots. Perfect for heating small amounts, like enough soup for one person, milk for hot chocolate or oatmeal, etc...I am so glad that I bought this pan, it is already getting a lot of use.

Perfect little pot
I love this little pot. We use it for lots of things besides melting butter. It's great to heat small quantities of just about anything. It is easy to clean. If any stains remain, I use a little vinegar with soapy water and it cleans up like new. Very sturdy. It's perfect hollandaise because it's slightly thicker on the bottom so it's easy to control the heat.
