Babish Stainless Steel 3.5qt Triply Professional Grade Sauce Pan

I have recently “started over” and I wanted a pot that could do it all, so to speak. I’m living my best minimalist life.The size is perfect for big and small quantities. I have made ramen, heated vegetables, made rice, etc. You could easily make 9 cups of rice (3 cups dry) in this porch maybe even 12. I make 3 cups (1 cup dry) and it barely covers the bottom.I have had zero issue with it sticking, and it washes beautifully. It’s thickness allows it to conduct and hold heat well.The quality of this pot is perfect. And its appearance is aesthetic, as far as cookware goes.

I've been a serious home cook for 50+ years. This is now my go-to pot. The vessel and lid are designed and constructed, together a solid weight without being too heavy. I seasoned it as instructed, re-season as needed - making it joy to cook with! I recycled my much used and loved other pot after cooking with this pot twice! If you're a serious cook, looking for new cookware, give this company a minute if your time.

Nicely designed pot with very flat bottom, suitable for glass/ceramic type electric range tops. Handle is comfortable and lid has small vent hole for steam.

My go to pots and pans. You get what you pay for and these are amazing. Very good quality.

First time cooking with stainless steel. It definitely is something to get accustomed to. It boils water fast, though there's no "rolling" boil as I was accustomed to with my aluminum pots. Heated some things too hot because of it. It's easy to clean as long as you use hot water and decent soap.

Seems like a decent pan but I returned it. Had thought it was fully clad 18/10 stainless, but after reviewing the listing info post-purchase, I can’t tell. It might just be a disc bottom covered up. Not sure; returned it.Don’t like when lids have holes in them.Nice handle.

And I am really cooking a lot of gravy’s and stuff like that I even did test it on Deer meat .There was a slight discoloration like rainbow looking it went away by wiping it with Vinegar. If you heat it up right and put oil in it you won’t have any problems with meat sticking on pan.

Way back around 1990 or 1991 I bought a starter set of cookware with the copper bottoms (you may have hard that, too! because I wanted something decent and affordable. Those pieces have served me well, but I have been slowly adding upgraded pieces. In all this time, I have learned what I do and don't like, and I have browsed a lot of restaurant supply houses to get a feel for what the professionals actually use. This Babish sauce pan shares a lot of those features: tri-ply, no-fuss stainless steel construction, secure double-riveted handles that are vented and shaped to not burn your hands, and a snug-fitting glass lid with a roomy handle.My test-run was a good challenge: a pot of creamy grits with butter and bacon crumbles. My gas range tends to run too hot, so I used a stainless steel diffuser plate to tame the flame. The pot took a bit longer than my old one to heat the water, but I am sure that is because it is a heavier gauge metal, and I am fine with that. I liked having the glass lid so I could watch for signs of boiling without having to open it. Grits expand A LOT. This saucepan was able to accommodate my big batch of 8 cups of water and two cups of grits, with room to stir. By the way, that flat handle on the lid enables it to rest upside down when you need to stir the pot!I transferred my grits to a glass dish for serving and storing, then ran some hot water to soak it while I ate. (Never put cold water in a hot pan, to avoid thermal shock, warping, or breaking,) When I came back, I used my little nylon scraper, and the remainder of the grits lifted right out. Then I took my scrub sponge with a quirt of dishwashing liquid and had the pot clean in almost no time.I love the SHAPE of this pot! Even the outside at the base has a rounded coved shape, making it easy to clean. Aside from the handle's rivets, it is just a smooth expanse of gorgeous stainless steel. The rim is also gently rounded. I am so very happy with the performance and looks of this pot and hope to get more upgrade pieces.
