KitchenAid 71018 Stainless Steel Saucepan with Pour Spouts, 1 Quart - Brushed Stainless Steel

I've had this little pan for 3 years now, and it's my absolute favorite pan to use. It is sturdy and heats evenly. It feels well balanced and I feel like a real chef when using it. It's easy to clean. We've washed it in the dishwasher a million times and it looks the same today as it did when we first purchased it. It's worth more than what its price reflects. I just wish it had a lid!

Great quality sauce pan. The heavy-bottom makes it easier to cook with even heating, I use it to make caramel and other thick sauces, and I don't have to worry about hot spots that can ruin whatever I'm making. The handle stays cool to the touch and seems very secure and sturdy. The built-in measurements are an added bonus. I haven't had any problems with it rusting or major discoloration, it's easy to clean using hot water, mild soap and a soft cloth. I only use wooden utensils with it to help avoid scratching the surface.The only drawback I have, it would be nice if it also had a lid.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love this, as most things kitchen aid that I own. It's sleek and nice, but also sturdy, easy to clean and heats up very well. I do wish it had a lid, but won't deduct points as I knew this already before buying.

It is nice to have a very small sauce pan for small jobs like heating up soup for one. (thick homemade soup splatters too easy in the microwave). Oatmeal for one etc, or heating sauces and gravy. I have to eat gluten free so I needed a small pan to sometimes cook my things in separate from the rest of the family. I like the pour spout on each side as my other larger 3 and 5ply clad stainless pans have straight sides and normally drip a bit if you were to try to pour instead of use a ladle. Pan heats very well on my gas stove and is not tippy, good level heavy bottom. The silicone covered handle makes use of the pan safe and easy since a potholder with tiny pans can be clumsy or in the way on a gas burner stove,,,. Great small sauce pan if your looking for one.

I just wanted a small pan to heat small portions. Using on induction hob, works fine. The interior turned blue around the bottom from the heat. Not sure why that happened but I read high heat will do that, it doesn’t affect foods. Besides I bought it to use, not to admire lol. A great weight for a small pan, doesn’t topple and the handle feels great in hand. Not bad for the price. No lid, but I had one that fit perfectly.

Rarely do I take the time to write a review; this product exceeded my expectations! I am familiar with Kitchen-Aid so despite the reviews I ordered this as a sauce pot.First, it is absolutely high quality and heats very quickly perfect for warming butter or boiling a liquid fast. Second, the quality as seen in photos is great compared to pricing( AllClad warmer is $100). I have used this twenty times at least now after using to make sauce for a seafood boil. It still looks new! Third, with regular cleaning and maintenance I do not foresee it rusting or degrading as some reviews make it seem. Great buy! p.s. it would be nice if it had an option for a lid.

Very sturdy well made pan. I like that it has pour spouts both sides. Only way to make it better, would be if it came with a lid.

Small saucepan, perfect for boiling an egg or two. The pouring spout is handy.
