Great little saucepan
This is a fantastic little saucepan. I use it for steel-cut oatmeal. It can hold a simmer over low heat for 30 minutes with no sticking or burning. All I need to do is stir it every 10 minutes or so. I can also boil water in it very quickly, and the little hole in the lid prevents the condensation from dripping out from under the lid as sometimes happens with other Le Creuset pans. Finally, the handle remains cool enough to use without a pot holder, and has a very nice appearance. Love it!
Great little pan
For making oatmeal and heating up soup, nothing beats this pan. It's very heavy, heats fast and holds the warmth. You are less likely to burn contents in this pan; also, the vent hole in the lid helps prevent contents, when heated while covered, from boiling over. The manufacturer recommends drying it after washing, rather than allowing it to drip dry, so it won't rust (the rims of the pan and around the bottom of the lid are not enameled). It cleans up easily (I wash it by hand). Very useful addition to my kitchen equipment and it looks great, too.
Cooking is a pleasure......
This is my second Le Creuset item. I like the fact that I can use lower heat to cook and it seems to spread the heat so evenly. The weight of this particular item makes it sit firm on my electric burner...a bit of safety factor, to me; and it goes through the dishwasher very well.
Amazon offers some Le Creuset items at great prices. I'll be looking for my next piece.
