Spirit Stainless Steel Saucepan with Lid Size: 2-qt.



Best All Around with Many Drawbacks
I have had this Spirit/Zwilling line for a few years, first the three fry pans and now the 4 QT. Comparison is to Le Creuset, All Clad including Excalibur non-stick, Viking, and Joyce Chen lightweight cast iron.

Understand that you are using man engineered stoneware of sorts with all its benefits and faults. They are extremely well engineered and work exceptionally well on induction.

For high heat cooking, these pans can safely get hotter than any other non-stick. I did a side by side on an induction cooktop bridge burner using a laser thermometer. The lightweight cast iron and Spirit heated in approximately the same time (iron a bit faster) to 800 some odd degrees before I called the dogs off... At first I thought the ceramic interior was marred or darkened but time has not yielded an issue. Pizzas at 550% plus convection oven don't damage the pan and slide off as if on a stone. Tip: let your dough rise in a slightly oiled fry pan, smooth the bottom before...

Zwilling J. A. Henckels
These are the best I have used and I have had many different pot sets over the years. I am totally happy with my Zwilling.
Thank you.

Great Pot
I love this pot for cooking rice, refried beans, or any other sticky-type food. I have the Scanpan skillets and was going to purchase a pot in that brand, but happened upon this brand as it was just coming out. The store only had the skillets, so several months later I looked for the pot at Amazon and bought it. It is even much less priced than the same size pot from Scanpan.
