I was looking for a good pot in which to cook one dish meals. It is perfect! Sage-and-Onion Chicken and Sausage from a cooking show [...] worked wonderfully in this pan.The pan is heavy enough not to warp, holds the steam in well, cleans easily, and is a good small / medium family size.One warning.....watch out for the handle on the lid when taking out of the oven.....wear mitts, don't just use hot pads. (Hard lesson to learn!)
