This is an excellent all purpose stainless pan. The shape makes it super easy to clean and, I think, helps in heat distribution as well. A great size. Excellent for soups and stews but also for large quantities of rice. Have used it for steaming vegetables with great success. Good quality stainless which makes it very easy to clean if you’re using it correctly. Best if you use medium , medium high heat While, like many American manufacturers are Off shoring their production, the quality has slipped a bit it is still far superior to most brands on the market. I’m not sure that these are still being manufactured because I had a hard time finding them in a number of outlets. Some people might consider this pan a little pricey, but if well kept it will last forever. It’s a good investment and I have no doubt that you’ll be very glad you made it.

Durable, Triple-Layer Stainless Steel Construction
The triple-layer design of Tri-Ply Stainless Steel allows for more even, consistent cooking versus conventional stainless steel cookware.
A dense aluminum core provides the foundation, which is then wrapped in two layers of stainless steel, to deliver better conduction and fewer 'hot spots' - allowing you total mastery, regardless of what you're cooking.

Tempered-Glass Lids
Clear tempered-glass lids let you see food while it's cooking. They are oven safe, so you can finish covered dishes in the oven or keep them warm until you're ready to serve. The domed design returns moisture to food. Wide metal bands strengthen and stabilize the lids.

Great (except for the handle)
I can see how some reviewers call this their "go to" pot, because that's how I regard mine. And I can certainly agree with the complaints about the handle - it's too skinny, and hard to grip. Holding it at the far end of the handle (where it's coolest) makes for bad leverage. But I found a solution - an Ove' Glove. It allows me to hold the handle where it attaches to the pot - leverage is much improved. Check out the pic I posted.
