From the picture, it looks like the pan doesn't have a pouring lip. Is it messy to use when pouring out liquids like milk?

Correct, no pouring lip. The pans are heavy so it might be a bit difficult for some persons to pour out liquids into a small-mouth container. If I am concerned about a mess, I either use a basting syringe or dip a measuring cup into the pan and empty from there. I am so pleased with this cookware that I use it anyway.

I love Cuisinart pots and pans. I have the old style Cuisinart that's over 20 years old that have a rolled lip and compared it to the new French pieces and have not noticed any difference in pouring liquids from the pans. I am very satisfied and happy with my purchase and performance of the Cuisinart French classic tri ply pans. Love, love, love!

I have not had a problem but then usually I only drain liquid from the pan and haven't needed to pour anything into a small container

It does not have a puring lip. I don't use it for pouring much, but I haven't noticed it being a problem. I pour soup out of it - no problems. No worse than any other straight sided pan.

I have a shield that I bought for my 4.5 qt mixer, I was very excited to get it cause I thought it would really help prevent a mess. Well.... if you just want it for pouring in liquids then I guess it's a great tool. If you want it to prevent stuff (i.e flour) from flying out, then you are wasting your money. It is not a tight fit and because it fits so loosely it allows splattering to occur. I don't use it near as much as I thought I would. For storage I just always keep it on top of the bowl in between uses. When I use the bowl, this usually just is put to the side. So don't know if that really answered your question about it, but it is some more info to think about.

Make sure the lid is snapped on tightly and it is fine. I used it once without the lid and it left a mess.

Yes, you have to be very careful in pouring I have had it work just fine and other times (when I am in a hurry) it can get messy. Sorry!

I did a test for you. I filled up the pan with water and poured it into a very small tumbler and did not spill a drop. Hope this helps!

This item is not meant to be heated and, in my experience, hot milk does not froth as well as cold milk. You would pour cold milk in the frother, move the plunger up and down in quick succession for about 30 seconds, until you feel pressure from the frother (it becomes more difficult to move the plunger). This means that the milk has frothed. It is still cold, but has a wonderful consistency, that of whipped cream, and once you mix it with the coffee, it warms up. It's a wonderful daily, small luxury. I would never put this product on an induction stove top, or any other stove top.

Should work okay, as the parts all *appear* to be poly-vinyl. That said, there will always remain a decent portion of oil that will not dispense properly toward the end of the jar due to strange design. Also, the design does not permit infusions, as there is no way to strain the particulates away from the pour-spout--a pretty major design flaw, in my opinion. They simply need to re-design the way the speed-pour attaches to the lid, so that a mesh strainer (not unlike the concaved variety used in kitchen sinks) can be inserted between the jar and the speed-pour to prevent particulates from leaving the jar.

I know that this question is old, but I bought the Tramontina which is a good set, but the frustrating part is that when I pour stuff it spills. I am going to try to return it and get this set, but if I am not unable to I am happy enough with the Tramontina. (I cook a lot of soups and tea etc...)

Sorry, but I've never tried adding butter, etc. Actually, I don't remember reading that on the wrapping. It would have raised a red flag for me since some times I will lightly grease non-stick pans.

It seems that I have done this once and it worked out with a VERY full pan. As I remember, it didn't spill over though. I usually 1 1/2 a recipe for use in the large pan when I make brownies, etc.

It is a gill. No lid. But, the design is flawed. Any food or liquid flows to the outer square of the pan. Liquid will not stay in the center of the pan.

The shape of the pot is traditional and might be perceived as inefficient for use since you can't pour out all of the liquid without putting a finger on the lid to keep it from falling into your cup. So, I'm not sure if the short spout is the problem, but it definitely requires two hands to pour. Some might think that is part of the charm of the pot though. I rather like it. It does force you to focus on your actions and be mindful as you pour.

It seems fine for pouring. I make smoothie every morning and pour into fairly small-mouthed cup with no problem. The smoothie also varies in thickness, which does not seem to matter.

Even though it is low volume it is a wide bottom pan. If I were cooking something with a small volume of fluid I would get a smaller bottom but deeper pan. Another thing I do for small quantities is I put what I am cooking in a small stainless steel bowl and put it in the larger pan with water and cook it that way. Some have bowls with lids but I do not and it works just fine. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

The lip is not very high. I don't use mine for things like omelets because a round pan works better but if you do something like scrambled eggs the surface is big enough so you don't need to be near the edge. Hope this helps.

Not really. When you pull out the old one, the fluid will pour out. You can put a pan underneath to prevent from a messy spill. You can drain some to lessened the spill, either way, it's going to be messy.

The hole is too small, I think. You know when you open a can of sweetened condensed milk and you need to open a hole on both sides of the can so it will pour easily? With this lid, you'd only have one hole and it'd "glug-glug-glug" and not pour smoothly.
