Cuisinart 8919-14 Professional Series 1-Quart Saucepan with Cover, Stainless Steel, Mirror Finish

I started building my collection of Cuisinart stainless steel cookware almost 20 years ago. So far I have 3 pots ranging 2qts to 5qts including a steamer insert that fits 2 of those sizes, a 10in fry pan and some baking trays/pans that fit in my (Cuisinart) convection oven. Each has served me well and I though was all I was going to need. For years I had been routinely preparing my morning eggs in the microwave (Cuisinart) by cracking an egg into a small ceramic custard cup coated with a little butter, wrapping a paper towel over it (to prevent it from exploding all over the insides of the microwave) and cooking for 1 minute. This was perfect to put in an English Muffin with a slice of Canadian bacon and cheese and eat on my way to work with my coffee. I was saving money (and time) not stopping at Dunkin Donuts and was happy with this routine until I started the Keto Diet and had to cut out bread (Ive lost almost 50lbs over the last year) and switched to boiled eggs but needed a smaller 1qt pan that I could just leave on the stove with the tea pot (Cuisinart) and life would be simple just to pop a few eggs in with water. So when I got this baby I was more than pleased with it's features (no surprise) It has a glass lid, a thick bottom that boils water quickly and a handle that doesn't transfer the heat from the pan so I don't even have to use a potholder to take it over to the sink. The pan has a nice weight to it and cleans up shiny and new with just dish soap and warm water. I have also found it easy to make cream or cheese sauces or to just heat up a can of soup! Look no further if this is the kind of ease, simplicity and quality you want from a little pan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gorgeous! Inexpensive! Better than All-Clad? Very well made. Not too heavy, not too light. Easy to clean. I will update after cooking with it. UPDATE: Cooking with it is great, but milk will cause some scorching/burning around the inside sides, even on low heat, especially when milk splashes a little up the HOT sides. (Use stainless steel wool pad to clean burned area(s).)

Great pan! I got this to cook my baby food in and it’s perfect! Cleans easy, warms up easy, easy to store!

Absolutely love this little pan. My burners are small and it fits great over them and I use it practically every day. I knew i would use it because I had another tiny pan the same size that is about 60 years old that I used constantly but I needed 2 because I used it so much. And it has a glass lid which is a must for me. I think the quality is great too.

So I bought this 1 because I dont own a sauce pot, 2 it looks nice and durable. Now I was Apprehensive on keeping this just because of certain reviews on the lid exploding and getting in their soup. I can definitely see that happening just due to there is no hole at the top to release pressure when things are boiling. Now I haven't cooked with the top on it just yet, but when I do I will crack it a bit to allow steam to exit. If it still cracks or bursts this product is unsafe to own or use in my opinion. But I will be back to give my 2 cents in once I have cooked with the lid on.

So I've been buying this brand of pots and pans and I love them. They're really solid pans that I feel that I will have for quite some time. Easy to cook with and clean. I saw some reviews of people complaining about the pan having some spots on it after cleaning. I think it's important to note that you probably shouldn't put these in the dishwasher I never put any of my pans in a dishwasher so that's just crazy work. Secondly there a pan or a pot, they're meant to used not for decoration so if you wanted to stay pristine don't cook with it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is an awesome little pan! I use it to heat water for coffee and tea. The pan heats up quickly, and the lip of the pan is perfect for pouring.

Solid, well made pot. Just the right size for small quantities of food.
