The picture of this T-fal pan is deceiving. It almost looks like it has a metal cover and because of that I almost didn't order it. The description says glass cover so because of that I did order it, taking a chance on that alone.When I got the pan, I was truly impressed.It's a great pan!Non-stick inside and out, heavy glass cover and a really nice cushion grip solid tight handle. It's not a cheap thin pot by any means. I'm glad I purchased it. It's much more impressive in person and it comes well packed too. I would definitely buy another when I need one.
I am well satisfied with this product.The pot has a heavy coating which prevents sticking and with the heavy coating it looks like it will last quite a while.This saucepan is very good quality with a reasonable price.I would defintely recommend it to others.
Great pot that cleans easy, but the pictures and description are out of date or lacking at this writing.
The new model is nicely enhanced but not if you don't want the undisclosed changes.
I will review the notable differences first.
---------------
SMALL POUR SPOUTS ----on both side of the pan and deep lid with dual sized lid strainers.
Turn the lid to expose holes (Two sizes) in the edge for venting or pouring chrome or Stainless Steel (? the glass lid, deep metal edge, is not aluminum and not magnetically attracted).
Another product on Amazon has larger spouts and strainers.
New WearEver A8342465 Cook & Strain Stainless Steel 3-Quart Sauce Pan by T-fal
This is as close as I see on Amazon for illustration of the spouts.
The lid has a vent hole as shown or a digital electronic temperature probe can be inserted.
The lid handle is now a hoop

This is as close as I see on Amazon for illustration of the handle.

I am glad to have this pot and at under 20 dollars it is a steal to me.
Next Some changes from old reviews.
Another review shows a different non-ridged bottom, more likely to slide.
It now comes with a flat bottom with concentric quarter inch grooves and the contact areas to the stove have the same slight texture and finish as the sides.
It has a bend/curve between base and sides to prevent cooking or cleaning problems a sharper edge could cause.
The pot and lid handles are large and nicely protected from heating up.
Non-stick interior and exterior with a heavy glass cover.
There is NO temperature gage at the bottom of the pot.

Another reviewer points out he "bought a dishwasher-safe nonstick pan, to find that the labeling on this one actually recommends hand washing instead. If cleaned in the dishwasher, it advises you to re-season it every 10 washes."
Seems everyone has to say dishwasher-safe to make a sale now days. Just don't do it.
If something is not stainless steel or glass like take "dishwasher-safe" to mean "it doesn't hurt the dishwasher" and just clean by hand.
It really cleans up easy.
---------------
These are general remarks from printed instructions under shipping cardboard.

Made in China.

Enjoy!Not for Glass top stove, I don't know if it didn't mention it or if I just missed it in the description. The bottom of the pan isn't smooth, but the rest of the pot is fine.
