Amazon Basics Mini Sauce Pan With Lid, 2 Quarts, Hard-Anodized Non-Stick Aluminum, Gray (Previously Stone & Beam brand), pack of 1

I needed a new pan for our second home and didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I bought this a few years ago and it is one of the best pans I have ever had!

I have a nice set of pans I use for most of the cooking I do that are not non-stick. But I needed one that was non-stick, and a size in between the ones I have, mainly for making rice. It's not that I can't make rice in a metal pan, but it sure the heck is a lot easier this non-stick model.This pan is quickly becoming my favorite pan to use. It's got a nice balance and I like the shape, it being more tallish compared to the others I have. It appears well made and has a nice look and the non-stick surface is really easy to clean. Probably even if you don't pay attention and let some rice sit too long without stirring so it gets real stuck in the pan.It is an excellent pan for making rice though as well and many other cooking chores where a good non-stick pan if the preferred choice. I don't know if they make a set, but I would definitely consider purchasing one if they didand I still had a job of course. Love this pan.

I wanted to give this five stars, and write a review for it, while it was on my mind. After making "honeycomb" toffee (also called "hokey pokey" or "cinder block"; due to its porous appearance) I thought I would have quite the ordeal getting the toffee off (at least) the outside of the pot. I set it in hot water to soak, being doubtful it would be enough to get all that overflow of toffee off (it was my first time making it, and I was quite surprised at how quickly the baking soda went to work once stirred in, and I stood there goggling at it like a great dummy (I should have been pouring it into the molds at that moment) while it started flowing over the sides (I did break out of the trance and get the rest into 8 places in one mold. I only got 8 bars instead of 16 due to my slowness.). Well, really long story short; after soaking it for around an hour, maybe a few (I wasn't timing it) I was overjoyed to find that all the toffee had gone from my pot! Oh happy day!! What a wonderful pot, at a great price too :D Honeycomb toffee is quite good too, though it'll take some practice to get just right. Some of it came out perfectly (if you've ever had a "Violet Crumble" [the national candy bar of Australia, if memory serves] this is it, and the rest was like a "Heath" bar - either way - you really can't go wrong with toffee covered in sweet non-dairy chocolate. I highly recommend this pot for any sticky situations.

I gave this 4 stars even though I returned it. I've use this type of nonstick anodized aluminum cookware for over a decade so I know it would have had good heat distribution and easy clean up. It had a very solid build and a good weight. I returned it because as others have written it is small for a 2 quart pan. The absolute volume is not a big issue with me but the bottom surface area is. I could actually fit this entire saucepan inside the 2 quart pan that I was replacing. It is a drop taller than my old one but quite a bit smaller in diameter. If you like this style then it will be fine but I find a wider base makes reducing liquids more efficient, gives more surface area to sweat aromatics, and has a bit more room for uses such as boiling eggs. I exchanged it for a Cuisinart contour 2 quart pan for an extra $16 and it's dimension are more like the one I replaced. Otherwise I'm sure it would perform well

I love this little pan. It works & cleans easy.I wish it was just a little bigger but I still like it.

It's very well made of thick, good quality durable tempered aluminum. The good quality handle is riveted on. The non stick coating is very high quality. My food does not stick to the pan. It also has a nice quality clear tempered glass top with a nice quality rim and handle. The rim of the top has two size holes in it and a small spout in the pot for draining liquids. That's a nice extra that I use all the time. The Quality is so good that this should last me the rest of my life and longer.

Best 2 quart pot I ever bought

When I first took this out of the box, I thought "oh no." It is small. It is the perfect size and will hold approximately 8 cups of liquid. Very easy to clean, wonderful pot!
