This pot and the "Green Pans" have made it a pleasure to cook again. The design of the pot totally awesome, all of the goodness stays in the pot due to the "pot belly" design. I love, love, love them! We need more pots with the same design, forget the long old handle, keep the "Old World" design....give us two quart, (I have the three quart, Love it too), four quart all the same design...please! Chef Todd, not only are your pots hot, so are you!!!!
