Easycook Microwave Saucepan with Lid 850ML RED

I’m a big fan of these red microwave saucepans. I’ve always had 2, the small 0.6 lt and the large 0.9 lt. After a good 8 yrs my large one got a crack in it, hence needing to buy another. These a good strong and robust and can withstand years of use, microwaving and I’ve always dishwashed mine as well. Excellent performance and quality from these. If you have the 2 sizes like I have they do store and stack nicely with the lid upside down. They have a really good pointed pouring lip for draining water. The lid has a small curved cut out in it to aid with the draining/straining of liquid. The cut out bit has the ability to have a larger draining hole or you can use another part of the lid to use the flat section of the lid to make a smaller draining hole. The best thing I love about these saucepans is that the colour red doesn’t show up coloured food stains from baked beans, tomato soup etc. The clear saucepans like this look mucky and stained very quickly. These saucepans are fantastic for heating/cooking up tinned food, soups, sweetcorn, frozen veg, scrambled eggs, porridge etc. I have quite a large microwave and this saucepan fits in it perfectly and rotates fine. Advise you measure this saucepan….with its handle to make sure it fits in yours before buying. Excellent saucepan for £9.99. I had to wait a while for it to come back in stock on Amazon but well worth the wait in my Wish List 😊

Got this for my mum who uses it in the microwave to cook vegetables as she cannot manage the weight of a conventional hob saucepan anymore. It is good that you can easily drain off water after cooking - combined with the long handle makes it very user friendly. It is very lightweight but doesn't scream quality - the lid in particular feels cheaply made. Nonetheless there is pretty nothing much like this out there.

Just right for heating a tin of beans etc. Handle feels sturdy. Good buy.

Looks and washes well

Easy pour, good size performed well so far.

Good little pot but both dimensions and capacity considerably less than described. It's listed as 900ml but will only hold about 600ml. Only 3 stars due to the misleading description.

This is sturdy and cooks well.However the kid is a bid problem if you arthritis or diabetes in your hands. It is impossible the lift the lid from the knob. I have to get a fork or knife to go down the steam vent to lift it.The knob needs to be much bigger and have some ridges to grip.The inside of the saucepan has left over plastic ridges on the base making cleaning difficult and cuts the hand if having to feel if clean.I like the colour and the double pourer, and weight is good for disabled person.

Pros: Handy size and good to have lid when straining veg etc.Cons: Inside always becomes rough after a short time and lid splits.Verdict: Would not buy again.
