If you need a very small saucepan and hate dribbling this is the one for you.
Every so often I need to either melt some butter or make a quick but very small amount of sauce for a dish. This is the one I reach for because of its rolled lip that makes it very easy to pour the butter or sauce where I need it without dribbling the sauce or butter down the side of the pan as I pour. The copper core really transfers the heat to the pan. The only minus is that I can't get a matching lid.
Because the pan is very small, you may need to use a heat diffuser to keep the pan from falling between your grates if you use a gas range.
PROS:
The rolled lip makes for accurate pouring without dribbling down the side of the pan. Because the entire lip is rolled, you can pour using either hand and at any position (unlike the All-Clad Stainless Butter Warmer with Pour Spouts).
CONS:
It is relatively expensive (since one is paying for the copper)...
Great small pot!
Great for melting butter, a perfect size. The Copper Core product line is wonderful and should last a lifetime, so it is an investment item.
A treasure to hold
Perfect beauty - heavy in the hand, polished, a ring of copper showing through the base and a recipe for chocolate soufflé from Thomas Keller. It can't get any better. Except it can, because I can warm a perfect cup of tea or broth in it as well. I hand wash and wipe dry with soft floursack dish cloth. Then admire.
