This heavy weight (tall) pot along with cooking contents is estimated to weigh over 10 lbs.A helper handle to assist with straining would certainly be a nice addition.Other than that, Anolon 'Advanced' is one of the best.There are pouring spouts on each side.This makes it the only pot I have ever seen that is 'southpaw' friendly.This beauty heats evenly and is a snap to clean.12/5/05 Update:I recently used this pot to boil some Russets for mashed potatos.When I went to strain them, the weight of 2 qts. of water (4 lbs.), plus 1 lb. of Russets, plus the 3 1/2 lb. pot, plus 'X' pounds of pressure on the lid to keep the contents from spilling out was just too overwhelming for 1 elderly male's hand/arm.I would rerate this to 3-Stars if the primary user will be elderly (or a woman who is not into body building).For the more youthful of you, the lack of a helper handle will not seem to be as great an issue and the 4-Star rating would be appropriate.
12/22 Update:I finally 'caved' and am giving this to my son (who won the SE benchpress championship some years ago).
Product Description
A clever design for straining, pouring or covered cooking.The lid, made of see-through, break resistantglass, has a deep rim with optional straining holes. To strain, line the holes up with the pan's pour spouts and strain with ease. For covered cooking, rotate the lid to close the holes and moisture will stay inside the pan. To pour, remove the lid and use the pour spouts that are built into the pan body. Regardless of these convenient features, you've got a pan made of even heating hard anodized for great cooking performance plus a rugged nonstick surface inside and out for stress-free cleaning.
