A clever design for straining, pouring or covered cooking. The lid, made of crystal clear, break resistant glass, 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 have a saucepan made of even heating hard-anodized steel for great cooking performance. A durable nonstick surface makes for stress-free cleaning
