Anolon Advanced Home Hard Anodized Nonstick Sauce Pan/Saucepan with Straining and Lid, 2 Quart (2 Qt Covered Saucepan, Bronze)

I love the Analon Advanced line. I've had them for 10 years but bought this replacement one recently. I love the covered handle so you can pick it up without a pot holder. I love the lid because it lets you strain it while in the pot (I make mac and cheese regularly in this). The only thing that you should be aware of is that because of the straining feature on the lid, you will have more steam escape than on a pot that's got a fully sealed lid. What that means is that it takes slightly longer to boil since some steam/heat is escaping. I still think its worth it though because it saves me an extra dish (the strainer for pasta).

I love my new cookware. Heats quickly and cleans easily.

This pan is a nice size and with dimensions that work perfectly for me. Some pans are too narrow or too wide for my burners. In addition, it cleans up very easily and the coating seems to be durable. I also like the fact that the lid doesn't have a vent hole, and that helps to keep the heat inside the pan, which is useful when cooking rice and allows better temperature control. This is the third such pan I've purchased and I'm quite happy with it.
