Scanpan Impact Saucepan, 20 cm/3.5 Litre

It's hard to know what you're buying online, but I'm really happy that I purchased this saucepan. It's deeper than my previous 20 in. which is a plus and I'm impressed that the handles stay cool. So far everything I've cooked in it, on a gas cooktop has cooked well, there's been no problems with food sticking and it's easy to clean. This saucepan is quite heavy, (for me anyway), so the helper handle is a must when removing it from the stove. I've noticed that it also stays quite cool. The only thing I don't like is that the rivets inside make it difficult to use a scraper tool. I made mousse in it the other day and it was difficult to work around the rivets. Overall though, I love it and I'm looking the get the 28cm frypan next.

This is an excellent little saucepan. It's a good size for boiling a couple of eggs or making gravy or custard. I use it for warming milk for my stovetop espresso. I was sceptical about the "non-drip" rim but it's actually true! So easy to pour, the stainless is easy to clean. Exactly what I was looking for!

I am delighted with this saucepan. I cook lots of sauces and syrups that can be easily ruined with poor quality cookware and they cook beautifully in this saucepan. The base allows even heating and I have no problems with food sticking to the pan. The silver finish allows me to see if butter or syrup is burning. The straight sides allow ease of mixing. The handle stays cool and is very comfortable to hold, allowing the saucepan to be well balanced. I am left hand dominant and have no difficulty tilting the saucepan using my right hand only, to deliver small amounts of liquid or sauce into whatever dish I am preparing. The design allows drip free pouring as well. The handle on the glass lid is well crafted and does not allow food or dishwashing liquid to become ... MoreI am delighted with this saucepan.

The handle on the glass lid is well crafted and does not allow food or dishwashing liquid to become trapped between the handle and the lid, thus reducing the risk of bacteria breeding there. It's a very good price for a quality product. The only mistake I made was not buying it years ago.
