Visions 1L Saucepan

cooks perfectly better than corningware, does not burn as easily rice cooks extremely well , quiet cooking and even heat distribution very hardy even though its glass and so versatile- ie oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge! ( microwave too if you must) I wish I had a whole set or started off with Visions from the beginning. Im just building up I think its very pretty colour too as that is not so obvious in the pictures. I wish others bought more of Visions cookware so that they can avoid the toxins from stainless steel ( nickel) and non stick cookware. I wish hence that they were slightly cheaper or you can buy them in sets or mix and match sets for a lower set price. welldone visions you are a life saver!

I have cooked all sorts in this glass sauce pan. It takes longer to heat up than metal but once it's up to temperature it holds heat very well and only need be on a medium heat to boil things. Porridge and alike will stick a little bit but not if you stir continuously. Very easy to clean, whether you do it straight away or leave to soak. Sturdy and heavy. Food tastes good again, no metallic taste, highly recommend. I use on a basic electric cooker with ceramic jobs.

This came with what appears to be authentic packaging/box. However, buyer beware, because the pot cracked...dangerously after around 5 months! Thankfully and strangely, it cracked whilst empty(!) on the kitchen surface. Found this so odd as there was no sudden temperature change, when a long crack appeared running along the base and up one side of the pot. Took it carefully to the sink, whereupon lifting it and setting it down in the empty sink, prompted the crack to fully split the pot into two halves. Very disappointed to have spent good money on this for nothing. The lid went shortly before this, as it doesn't fit the pot properly - as though it were made mass production to make a complete item/look. It slid off the pot as I moved it from A to B in the kitchen, hit the floor and smashed. So, sadly, I only enjoyed this pot and lid for less than a year.

I find it quite satisfying to be able to use a wonderful piece of technology from NASA in my kitchen ~ This saucepan from the US is a great idea and it seems to perform very well ~ I bought it for my dad, who's eyesight is now very poor. As the saucepan is see-through I thought it would help him to be a little more independant as he is now in a wheelchair, and would now have to view saucepans from the side instead of looking from above, but he doesn't feel confident enough at the moment with his eyesight, but he hopes to try it soon.~ The saucepan's glass is amber and is completely see-through, it feels very solid and seems to spread the heat more smoothly. It can be brought out straight from a deep freeze and put onto heat instantly, without damage, it certainly seems very tough!. It is the same glass which was developed for the Space Shuttle and had to withstand extreme heat and cold, pressure, vibration and resistance to damage from high speed particles hitting it, so I am confident it should come to no harm in the kitchen!. I'm pretty sure that it would not break, even if dropped on concrete, but I don't wish to try it just yet! ~ It may be a little costly, but it is cetainly no ordinary saucepan and I am hoping to buy the next size up. One giant leap for saucepans! enjoy.

I bought the 2.5L saucepan for £44.99. I notice that the price has now gone up again, so it's worth keeping an eye on the price if you want to catch yourself a bargain! The item was exactly what I want and as described. I was a bit hesitant about ordering this online because as it's made of glass, there was a good chance that it would come broken on arrival, but it was well packaged. It's actually quite hard to source these - not a lot of retailers seem to sell this. This saucepan can be used to cook up a variety of different dishes and it is especially good for using it to cook soup. The fact that it's see-through means that you can see exactly where the waterline is to prevent your soup from over-boiling and then spilling over and making a mess. The only negative thing about this product is that as it's glass, you must be really careful when you are cleaning it and when you are handling it to prevent it from getting smashed to pieces. And also food can stick to the bottom which makes it tough to clean (it's not a non-stick surface!); so to prevent this, you should frequently stir your dish to prevent the food from sticking to the bottom. With careful handling, this product will last for a very long time.

This is a beautiful, well crafted glass pan. Cleans easily in the dishwasher and can be used on the hob or in the oven. I wanted to move away from toxic metallic pans that can leach into foods and this is perfect. Very expensive, but hopefully should last a lifetime if I look after it properly.

This pan was an expensive choice for me. Most don’t come with a lid so I forked out the extra cash. I was disappointed when I opened the packaging and read the enclosed leaflet/product information. The pan itself is Made in France and feels good quality. The lid however, is made in China and requires special care. It is not as strong as the pan but ordinary glassware. That was the disappointing part. This wasn’t mentioned in a clear way on the Amazon listing page.

Love this Vision pan. Excellent to use. Not too heavy. Great quality.
