Dessert anyone? What's a great meal without dessert? Check out the mouth watering video! =p

Product Review

This 3-1/2-quart saucepan from Anolon offers integrated straining features that set it apart from comparable products by enabling it to effortlessly drain water and other liquids. The crack-resistant glass lid fits snuggly on the pan's body and offers small holes to safely strain petite foods and larger holes for bigger items. It also easily adjusts to trap in steam and prevent moisture from escaping. The pan itself features an integrated pouring spout and heavy-gauge aluminum construction for even heating. The stainless-steel handle provides a strong hold while its silicone rubber coating prevents unwanted slipping. Low-fat cooking, easy food release, and simplified clean-up all result from the double-coated nonstick interior surface. Oven-safe up to 400 degrees F, this mid-sized pan holds 3-1/2 quarts and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Hand washing is recommended as is the use of rubber, plastic, or wooden utensils.

A clever design for straining, pouring or covered cooking. The lid, made of see-through, break resistant glass, has a deep rim with optional straining holes. To strain, line the holes up with the pan's pour spouts and strain with ease. For covered cooking, rotate the lid to close the holes and moisture will stay inside the pan. To pour, remove the lid and use the pour spouts that are built into the pan body. Regardless of these convenient features, you've got a pan made of even heating hard anodized for great cooking performance plus a rugged nonstick surface inside and out for stress-free cleaning.

Product Features

• 3-1/2-quart saucepan with integrated straining features; 2-ply nonstick coating
• Heavy-gauge anodized aluminum construction for rapid and even heating
• 18/10 stainless-steel handles covered with silicone for a strong, slip-free hold
• Glass straining lid adjusts for large and small foods; turns to lock in steam
• Oven-safe up to 400 degrees F; limited lifetime warranty; hand wash
