We tested 8 saucepans. Which ones hit the spot?
Performance (70% of overall score): we cook scrambled eggs (70% of the performance score) to assess the pot’s evenness and stickability and we time how long it takes to heat 1L of water (30% of the performance score).
Ease of use (30%): we consider the balance of the pot, how comfortable the handle is, steam control, how easy it is to pour from, and how easy it is to clean.

Very disappointed, a waste of good money
Pros
I bought two saucepans and two frying pans. I never put them in the dishwasher and treated them gently. I am still using the frying pans, although the heat distribution is uneven, but the saucepans are in my inorganic pile.
Cons
Mashing potatoes and stirring sauces (wooden spoon) has caused the black layer on the bottom of the saucepans to wear off in a circle. Doing a white sauce, it ended up full of black spots from the coating, so I consider them a health risk to use.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
