MSMK 2.5 Quart Sauce Pan with lid, Stay-Cool Handle, Burnt also Nonstick, Scratch-resistant, Induction Cooking Pot

The handles are comfortable and really do stay cool.

UPDATE 08/14/2023. Much to my surprise, I continue to love these pans. I do not put them in the dishwasher, but so far the finish is holding up perfectly. I do occasionally, after washing them, reapply a very light coat of oil to the interior while the pan is still hot from the water, and leave it on. Not enough so it pools; you really cannot even see it, and the nonstick coating is still performing as well as it did the day I bought them. And I use this set every day. Handles stay cool; lids fit well; nothing sticks. Everything I could ask for, and nothing that I miss with them compared to other pans I've owned.I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to my pans. I don't typically like using non-stick, so everything is stainless, but sometimes you need a non-stick saucepan or two. These absolutely fit the bill - they are incredibly well-made, heavy, nicely finished, and the lids fit well. Made some rice night before last and it basically slides right out of the pan. I do recommend that you season the pan when you first get it - I just boiled some water in it, dumped out the water, dried it and while it was still warm, wiped it down with vegetable oil. Let it sit a minute - much like you would with cast iron - and wiped it out. Nothing sticks. Manufacturer recommends this as well - and to repeat the process every so often. I figure once a month should keep them in top condition. The true telling will be how long the nonstick coating holds up. But I'm pretty gentle with pans, since I hate shopping for new ones when I have to replace one, so hoping these are around for several years at least.

This is a smaller version of the saucepan I have used since I bought an induction range a couple of years ago. SO easy to use and keep clean. I hand wash, per manufacturer recommendations, but the nonstick surface is very high quality and washing takes only a few seconds. Love this!

The pot seems fine but there is space beneath the rim of the lid. Water collects there and there's no room to get a dish towel underneath to dry it. This seems like an oversight on the part of the manufacturer.

This refers to my original 3.5 quart and purchase:Great pot, works with induction, easy to clean, nothing sticks. I'm buying more of different dizes.The following refers to the 2.5 q version which I received today:The box was damage to a degree, the tight plastic sheathing around the pan itself was already cut showing that it was likely returned already. The interior of the pan itself looks like it was used once already to cook something, it wasn't clean like new.The rim around the pan was chipped and damaged, showing the silver metal underneath. I love these msmk pots and pans, so I ordered a replacement exactly like this one (2.5q). I will update this review once I receive a brand new, unused, undamaged unit.Update; Replacement 2.5q pot received today. It's perfect! I'll be ordering more MsMK of varying sizes soon!

This sauce pan was the perfect size, and the quality is great. I have a set of All clad, but didn't have this size sauce pan. I would say that this is a better product than All Clad which actually does scratch easily, even when using the right utensils!

I love to cook. As I’ve gotten older (59), I appreciate and am blessed to afford better quality cookware and cutlery. After having cuisineware and Calphalon, we tried All Clad. We were very disappointed with our Calphalon cookware set as the non stick pots and pans scratched on the cooking surface and the rubber rims on the lids tore. We are now avid fans of All Clad. It is dishwasher safe, doesn’t scratch and absorbs and maintains heat very well. We’ve been using All Clad for more than 5 years now. Our entire cookware and bakeware is now All Clad. It’s worth the price.

Heavy duty, well constructed.
