I’ve used this for several months and am very happy that the quality is great. It was bought to replace one of the same make that I’d bought years ago. When I next need a saucepan I’ll buy this make again. It’s a pleasure to use.
This is a handy pan for a single person just wanting to boil a few small vegetables without heating too much water. But, from the picture it look like it might have a common type of glass lid, but it is, in fact, a more secure stainless lid with a deep rim that serves to reduce spill overs. This is spoiled by the vent being through a wide plastic rotating flange that opens or closes a cut away in the lid. The pan and lid came nicely boxed, but the lid was not taped to the pan, so, when I pulled it out by the handle, the lid fell onto the tiles and cracked the plastic knob. The supplier was very willing to replace the whole thing, but I did not want it to be thrown away just for the sake of a knob, so I repaired it with epoxy glue for now. If it cracks again I’ll see if I can buy a glass lid the same size.
This is my favourite saucepan for a raspberry/wine jus, with an approx depth of 5.5 cm (without the lid) and not including the rim.
A nice weight in hand for its size, it sits sturdy on the hob. I find the black handle comfortable and the saucepan benefits from a lever in the matching, chunky black knob on the lid that slides to one side for ventilation.
APPROXIMATE SIZE, based on the one I received:
Inner top diameter: 12 cm
The 3 mm deep, raised aluminium base is around 9.5 cm in diameter and transfers the heat quickly & evenly on my glass hob.
Height (without the vented lid on): 6.5 cm
Height with the lid on (hard to measure): 11.5 cm
The external base of the saucepan is embossed ‘Kitchen Craft Stainless Steel’.
Arriving simply presented in a plain cardboard box measuring around 27.5 cm x 14 cm x 9 cm, complete with use & care instructions (images below refer), it washes up easily by hand and occasionally goes in the dishwasher, with no loss to the shininess, so far.
ooOoo
EDIT:
I like this saucepan style so much I have now also bought the 16 cm version which is (on my measure) around 8.5 cm deep (not including the rim/lid), with a top inner diameter of 16.5 cm
The base diameter is 13 cm

It feels sturdy and well made while still being lightweight to hold. The plastic handle means it won’t heat up and burn your hands if you grab it in a hurry. I really like the built-in vent which prevents over heating or spillage while cooking. Very deep compared to other saucepans this size. The stainless steel material is easy to clean and doesn’t leave any marks after washing. Perfect size for boiling eggs or cooking for one person.
