Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel 1.5 Qt. Saucepan with Lid, 719-16

I love this little pot. It's perfect for cooking for one person is easy to handle, and easy to clean. It fits perfectly in my small kitchen. Great purchase!

Well made, heats up quickly, much better than coated pans. Just wish it had a glass lid so you could see inside, but that is not a deal breaker. Handle doesn’t get hot.

I love this saucepan, it’s perfect for our small family. I make Korean soups and cook small amounts of rice on occasion. Well made and easy to clean. Since it’s stainless it will work on induction but I have an ordinary glass top stove so I can’t say for sure

For many years I have used Caphalon commercial anodized aluminum sauce pans. They are finally beginning to spall and flake on the outside, so I decided to try a stainless steel sauce pan. This looked like a good middle of the road pan, and not too expensive, so I bought it. The first attempt to use it was for steel cut oats. I toast the oats in butter before adding the water. As the pan heated up with its contents, I heard a faint popping sound within the bottom portion, due most probably to the dissimilar expansion rates of the steel exterior vs. the sandwiched aluminum core. As a mechanical engineer, these sounds trouble me a bit, because they are usually harbingers of some kind of early failure in the attachment bond between the metals. Anyway....on with the oats.After 10 minutes on the lowest setting of the smallest burner on my LP range, the oats were burned (my usual toasting time on the Caphalon thick aluminum took about 10 minutes). However, the stuck-on black material easily came off the bottom with just a plastic scratch pad and some water. Second attempt went better - I paid attention, and they were done in just 3 minutes. I noticed that the bubbling of the butter occurred quite evenly across the entire bottom of the pan, due to the heat dispersing characteristics of the aluminum "sandwich" layer in the bottom of the pan. Once browned, I added water to the pan, and placed my cast iron flame tamer over the burner. (I hate LP ranges - it's like cooking over a laboratory bunsen burner).The simmering period (I let them go for 1 hour) was excellent. The water boiled very gently, and in spite of the tiny gas burner, the heat was dispersed very nicely, with steam bubbles rising equally across the entire bottom of the pan. For heat dispersion abilities, I would rate this pan a full 5 stars, as it is better even than my heavy cast iron, and weighs much less.It loses one star because even though the handle on the lid looks hollow (and therefore cool), it still gets too hot to touch, even with a low burner flame. But then so did my Caphalon. Note to self: Use a potholder on the lid. This deficiency is fully corrected on the pot's handle, which stayed at near room temperature throughout the cooking process. 5 stars on the handle - well made, very sturdy, light weight, and stays cool to the touch.Lastly, the rolled edge on the rim of the pan, and the manner in which the lid nests inside, works very well to reduce or eliminate steam condensation and dripping down the exterior sides while simmering liquids. Performance on this was excellent.I suspect this pan, like any stainless steel cookware, will eventually get blackened a bit on the outside, unless you are very diligent at scrubbing it off after each use.All in all, I am quite satisfied with this pan, and would recommend it.

I couldn’t be happier with this stainless steel saucepan. The polished stainless steel construction gives it a clean, professional look while also feeling sturdy and well made. The included lid fits nicely, helping retain heat and moisture while cooking.One of the standout features is how evenly it distributes heat, which helps prevent hot spots and makes cooking sauces, soups, oatmeal, vegetables, and other small meals much easier. The long stainless steel handle stays comfortable to grip and feels securely attached, giving you confidence when moving the pan from the stovetop.The straight sides provide a good cooking capacity without taking up too much space, making it a great everyday saucepan for smaller portions. Cleanup is also simple thanks to the smooth stainless steel interior.

I absolutely LOVE this little saucepan/pot!!! I purchased the 1 1/2 quart one, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It actually weights more than my Tramontina 3 quart stainless steel pot purchased on HSN (a set I received as a gift). I had done a lot of research, and read tons and tons of reviews before receiving the gift set. I was unsure about the gift set when I received it because I had concluded that I wanted to purchase the Cuisinart Chef's Classic set. I decided to give the Tramontina a fair chance since I was new to stainless steel cookware, and I even purchased another brand 4 quart pot from True Value in the meantime. I've been using the non Cuisinart for about two years now, and purchased this 1 1/2 quart Cuisinart 719-16 about six months ago. All three brands clean up with the same amount of ease, and all seem to distribute heat across the bottom pretty evenly. However, it does seem that the Cuisinart Chef's Classic isn't as likely to scorch food as the other two brands. It's heavier construction appears to make a big difference where that's concerned, and leads me to believe that it will be around long after I'm gone. Even the handle is one solid piece rather than a hollow handle made of rolled sheet metal like the other brands have, . It is by far my favorite pot, and I plan on purchasing more of them in the future. If you are in doubt about what brand to buy; I strongly recommend giving the Cuisinart Chef's Classic a try; you won't regret it. .If you're new to stainless steel cookware it isn't too hard to adjust to it. I was nervous about making the switch from teflon pots after reading some reviews about scorching and staining. I am so glad that I made the switch now, and will never go back to teflon pots. It takes a little longer to heat up, and retains the heat longer. It is more likely to scorch than any with teflon if you're impatient and turn it up too high or don't stir a little more often. I've found clean up to be quite simple. Most everything comes off with rinsing or soaking, but I use a SOS pad if there's a little discoloration on the inside. I have an electric stove, and have had no issue whatsoever with discoloration or staining on the outside with any of the brands. .

Nice weight.Just the right size for one petson meals.

I've had this pan for awhile now and love it. It cooks evenly while the handle stays cool to the touch. And the no drip sides make pouring and clean-up easier. Highly recommend.
