Huh? That's a Toys R Us Pot... I use a pot that size for scooping
bird seed... it's way too teeny for most cooking.
There are plenty of cookpots with metal lids... if you don't want to
spend a lot go for Farberware, their new design is a spectacular piece
of cookware... they are now heavy SS with a thick aluminum disk
stainless steel clad bottom. I bought a few and they are far better
than the originals... their 6 quart is my favorite, a relatively wide
pot with its high sides it's great for frying chops with very little
spatter. Of course there is no cookware that comes anywhere close to
the quality of Piazza... next to Piazza All-Crap is Dollar store
cookware.
