Cuisinart 8919-14 Skilled Collection 1-Quart Saucepan with Cowl, Stainless Metal, Mirror End

I LOVE THIS LITTLE PAN!
I started building my collection of Cuisinart stainless steel cookware almost 20 years ago. So far I have 3 pots ranging 2qts to 5qts including a steamer insert that fits 2 of those sizes, a 10in fry pan and some baking trays/pans that fit in my (Cuisinart) convection oven. Each has served me well and I though was all I was going to need. For years I had been routinely preparing my morning eggs in the microwave (Cuisinart) by cracking an egg into a small ceramic custard cup coated with a little butter, wrapping a paper towel over it (to prevent it from exploding all over the insides of the microwave) and cooking for 1 minute. This was perfect to put in an English Muffin with a slice of Canadian bacon and cheese and eat on my way to work with my coffee. I was saving money (and time) not stopping at Dunkin Donuts and was happy with this routine until I started the Keto Diet and had to cut out bread (Ive lost almost 50lbs over the last year) and switched to boiled eggs but needed a smaller 1qt pan that I could just leave on the stove with the tea pot (Cuisinart) and life would be simple just to pop a few eggs in with water. So when I got this baby I was more than pleased with it’s features (no surprise) It has a glass lid, a thick bottom that boils water quickly and a handle that doesn’t transfer the heat from the pan so I don’t even have to use a potholder to take it over to the sink. The pan has a nice weight to it and cleans up shiny and new with just dish soap and warm water. I have also found it easy to make cream or cheese sauces or to just heat up a can of soup! Look no further if this is the kind of ease, simplicity and quality you want from a little pan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Easy cook and clean
Great little pan. Good quality, easy to cook with and clean up is super easy. Nothing sticks to it

BEST cookware
I have tried so many brands of cookware in my 78 years. I don’t need anything large since I only cook for one. I have wasted so much money trying to save money. Ha. This is the third Cuisinart pan I have purchased and I will only buy Cuisinart from now on. Love the FLAT bottom of the pan for the equal heat and the sturdiness. They clean so easily. Still look like new after 6 months of use. The skillets are the same quality. I get only flat bottom pots and pans. I highly recommend this series of this brand.

Very well made
This pot is very well made and sturdy. It also looks nice and distributes heat evenly. The quality and value are well above my expectations for the price. I like it so much I just ordered the 1.5 quart size.

It’s really pretty and shiny & has worked well so far, except for scratches that appeared at the bottom of the pot after I had used a stainless steel spoon. That’s odd considering the pot is stainless steel and not non-stick.On a related matter, an Amazon staff had claimed she did not know where the pot was made as it was not indicated anywhere. However, it was clearly indicated on the box that it’s made in China.

Turns out this pot was much better quality than I expected. It’s heavy and very solid. Foods cooks better in it and at lower temperatures than my old pots. My only complaints are when boiling something with the lid on water escapes out around the lid edge so I turn down the heat to stop that. Also I tried cooking pasta sauce in it and it discoloured the inside but I brought it back to normal by letting some vinaigre and water sit in it for a while. So just be careful not to use it for acidic foods. Overall I’m really happy with it.

Esta olla fue exactamente lo que buscaba en cuanto a tamaño, precio y calidad. Hecha de acero inoxidable con tapa de vidrio y acero. La he usado todos los días durante las últimas semanas y no he notado ningún defecto de fábrica. Muy recomendable.
