SCANPAN Professional 4.5 Quart Nonstick Sauce Pan with Lid - Dishwasher, Oven & Metal Utensil Safe Cookware - Made in Denmark - Perfect for Sauces, Soups & Slow Cooking

Durable reliable kitchen equipment.Best cookware we’ve ever used! Easy to clean, even heating. Simple rules for best results: never use any metal cooking utensils, only wooden, plastic, Teflon, etc.; use separators or paper towels between cookware in cabinets to avoid scratching cooking surface; easiest to clean while still warm using dishcloth or sponge & dishwashing liquid.Yes, the price is up there but the quality is also Up there! We have a ceramic top stove and if you have one you know that if you put a pan on it that is warped only a small part touches the heat and that becomes very hot and can burn the food. The Scanpans stay FLAT and hold the heat very good, one at a time I am replacing the other pots and pans.This is SO worth the expense! It's a great size for everything from spaghetti sauce to pot roast, it's sturdy but not too heavy, nice flat bottom, the inner surface seems like it will stay unscratched and it is cleans up very easily. Lid fits perfectly and the handles are easy to grip . Love this pan!I wish there was a 10" chef's pans available.This is a great every day pan but I was very surprised that the lid was so light (in weight). I would have thought with a pan this expensive the lid would have been a little more sturdy. There is not problem so far but I am really worried if I drop the lid it may bend?I purchased this pot along with several other Scanpan pieces based on a friend's recommendation. Overall, most of the pieces have been great. However, this pot leaked water from it's rivets whenever water was boiled in it. I called the company and mailed the pot back to them, at my own expense (over $20). They sent back a new one (weeks later) and I was amazed to discover that it, also, leaked at the rivets when water was brought to a boil in it. I called the company again. The man I spoke to had me return the pot to him (this time they paid for it) directly so that he would be sure the issue was resolved. Yet another new pan was mailed to us weeks later. IT, TOO, LEAKED FROM THE RIVETS! Clearly, Scanpan has a serious design issue in this particular pot. I would warn anyone away from ordering one or one like it. Too bad, as otherwise they are nice pots.I have used the pot for more than one year now. It does perform well, but recently I noticed the coating chipped off. I have not scratched it, because it has been used for boiling porridge. Now the inside bottom is not the color pure black. I hope what it has chipped off, was not toxic, - they were already gone into my body with the food.I ordered this pan as a gift and so it wasn’t opened for a few weeks. When it was opened, we realised that a much larger version of this pan (the Dutch oven one) had been sent in error. I contacted Haus to arrange a replacement and their customer service team replied to my email within the hour and the correct pan was sent out the same day. Amazing customer service from this company!!! The pan is also excellent. Super nonstick. Easy to clean. Very solid. Time will tell regarding the nonstick but hopefully by looking after it, it will last a lifetime!Very good but not brilliant.
