Today not only did I test Martha Stewart's stuff, but I tested a saucepan from Cuisineart, a stainless steel saucepan with a lid, it was a 1 1/2 quart size pan, or some call it a pot. Like the Martha Stewart pan, I got this from Macy's, and what I used it for was to make a soup, which was a Beef Sabaw, a soup influenced from the Philippines, much like the Beef Pho of Vietnam, or the Tom Yum of Thailand. But this pot was great for a soup for two, it held the contents perfectly, broth, meat, and veggies.
The saucepan is pretty light which is great for the home chef, it needs good cleaning care, like the Martha Stewart, you'll need to use a dish soap, water, and a soft scouring pad like the nylon ones you can find in the supermarket, this saucepan can also go into the oven if you want to braise in it, I'd go no hotter than 350 deg. F.
So for soups for 2? This saucepan is the bomb, if you'll be making some sauces like mushroom sauce, or other types of sauces, Cuisineart has exceptional equipment for the price, this cost me 24.99, if you get it on sale, it'll be cheaper than that. So can a home chef get great deals at a Macy's without sacrificing quality? Sure. But, if you are going to open a professional kitchen, you'll need heavy duty stuff, but this Cuisineart works well for home chefs for sure!
