SMART & COMPACT Pan 5,0 L · Ø 24 cm

It’s a solid pot if you’re cooking for two, but the 5-liter capacity feels smaller once you add a lid and a full sauce. The lid fits snugly, which is great, but I wish the handles were a bit more comfortable for a long simmer. Decent for the price, though I wouldn’t call it exceptional.

The 24 cm diameter is a bit tight for searing larger cuts of meat, though it works fine for everyday soups and stews. It heats evenly enough, but I wish the lid fit a little more snugly.

The 5-liter capacity is plenty for my family’s stews, and the 24 cm width fits nicely on my stovetop. It heats evenly, but the lid doesn’t seal as snugly as I’d like, so some steam escapes and cooking times run a bit longer.
