AVACRAFT 2.5 Quart Stainless Steel Saucepan with Glass Strainer Lid

Very nicely made saucepan, good quality. The Avacraft saucepan balances nicely on my burner where my old Cuisinart saucepan always tipped backwards because the handle was weighted, once I put something in it to weight it down then it balanced safely on the burner. The Avacraft stainless steel handle stays cool to the touch. I bought this Avacraft saucepan because of its 1.5 quart size, too many times with my old saucepan (standard 1 quart) food would spill out onto the burner while stirring, not so with this sauce pan. The hight sides and that extra .5 quart makes a huge difference. I liked this saucepan so much I decided to replace my standard Cusiniart 2 and 3 quart size pots that I have used for many years for Avacraft's 2.5 and 3.5 quart pans. Personally the standard American 1, 2, 3, quarts pans have always been a bit too small and having that extra 1/2 quart does make a huge difference in cooking. The glass lids are beautiful made and fit nicely on the saucepan. For me this was a great purchase. In addition, the two spouts on the rim of the pan makes it easy to pour your contents from the pot.

This pot and lid are exactly what I was looking for! Everything about it works perfectly. I love using it for cooking. A very well made, clean product. Highly recommend!

This is a sturdy pan without being heavy. I like the glass lid. It feels like it will last a long time. It doesn’t seal 100% due to the ability to strain water. It has not impacted my cooking. It does heat evenly on the bottom. I highly recommend this pan. I do not get paid for my reviews.

I already have an Avacraft 1.5 quart pot. Have used it for several years and love it. Am replacing a 3.5 quart pot from another manufacturer. That pot had a non-stick coating that started coming off, so I thought it best to replace it. Only using stainless steel from now on. Love the built-in strainer.

Got this pot as a replacement for another one. It feels heavy and very good quality. The volume markers on the inside are clear and very useful. The strainer lid is useful for straining but it is very loose when placed on top of the pot with a noticeable gap so it does not create a seal. So you can't use this pot for things that need to cook under some pressure like rice or similar things as it will allow all the moisture to evaporate. If they could increase the size and design of the lid so that you could still use it for straining liquids if the vent holes are aligned with the side spouts, but creates a seal if you rotate the lid away from the spouts, I would happily give this pot 5 stars

This pot is everything you want in a pasta pot. Heats water quickly, even on my ancient electric stove. Then saves you from washing a colander as you can strain the pasta using the lid! Base is substantial and heats evenly, but still light enough to lift and drain with one hand on the lid and one on the handle. Cleans up well in the dishwasher. I accidentally burned one cooking rice and did not hesitate to order a replacement right away.

I love the pour spouts/edges on this pot, it's one of the main reasons I bought it. When heating up frozen broth, or heating spaghetti sauce, I want to be able to pour directly from the pot without making a mess. The capacity and footprint is perfect so it fits on the stove even if I have a large pot on the burner in front of it. The lid could be hard to clean if you used it as a strainer, so I don't do that often. Since the lid has a fairly loose fit, even turning it so the strainer holes are not lined up with the pouring spouts (which creates a vent), a lot of steam does escape this lid, so keep that in mind. Only other thing I've noted is that the bottom is thin enough I have to be more thoughtful about using lower heat temps. I used to put in 2 cups frozen solid broth into my thick aluminum pan, toss it on high and walk away, coming back to simmering or boiling broth. When I tried that with this pan, the broth actually melted and began to evaporate (almost burning) before having time to melt much of the cube, so it was a sizzling block of frozen broth!! I lowered the temp and the issue is solved. It does impress me how easy it is to clean the pot itself, things wipe out quite well! I wasn't sure if I'd like the light weight, being accustomed to heavier pots and associating them with quality/durability, but it is nice when you're holding it for any amount of time and I've had no concerns that it won't last every bit as long as my heavy pots. I will recommend it to friends and family as it's my new favorite for heating liquids and cooking veggies.

Exactly what I wanted and no problems.

Brought this for our caravan gosh its handy big enough for two and the side pouring is effortless its also very easy to clean

Once you have the strain feature on this saucepan you will want it on all your pots. Pot is well thought out and crafted.

J'adore cette casserole , très contant de l'avoir acheter . Juste deux petits points , le premier est le poids un peu lourd surtout pour le poignet de ma conjointe. le deuxième est qu'il est facile d'égratigner le fond à l'intérieur de la casserole à la première utilisation j'ai simplement passer un fouet pour mélanger une garniture (citron) puis les traces du fouet sont demeurés incruster !

I was conserned about the metal handel getting to hot but after using this pan I found they stay cool. Very impressed

Order showed up early and after using product I am very happy with the even heating no hot spots.
