Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I was just ready to pay good money for a product that is not as attractive, with apparently less capacity due to the indented bottom, and handles that appear to be less generous and that slant downward instead of being straight. Then I saw your comment and compared photos of the two side by side, and they are not the same. They must have changed the original vendor to a cheap Chinese vendor, and this is what you get. Wouldn't be surprised if this "porcelain" dish also cracks and shatters. Chinese products cannot be trusted. If anyone knows where to get the original pan recommended by Cooks/America's Test Kitchen, please let us know, because this is NOT the same pan. I have to wonder if all of these great reviews were for the original pan BEFORE they switched to the Chinese vendor and the apparently inferior product. UPDATE: I saw this pan in person at Kithen Kapers and do not know how Americas Test Kitchen could ever believe that lasagna can be cooked in this pan. It is small and shallow. Potatoes under the broiler? Yes, but enough for only 4 servings. Perplexed and disappointed.

I am sorry I left this review by mistakes. I bought the other rectangular one with high sides so I can't tell you about this one. Sorry

Looks like an error on the part of the advertiser to me. We bought this same set of cookware (and are delighted with it) and did not get the light and meter with it.

I agree with others about the two piece that I own had a cheap skillet. The other appears to be a newer model.

Right - that's not the same item. You are looking for the "Cedric Buffet" from Hokku Designs: Cedric Buffet

It does not fit securely. There is some wobble and the cooking surface is not 100% level.

Here's the deal. The coffee make I had was of a slightly different design, and I wrote to the company and explained my problem. They acknowledged that in fact there was a design flaw in the model that I had and replaced it with the model illustrated. The new one works great. I will be removing my review.

I do not have one that looks like the one in the picture. The one I have, is all aluminum looking surface. I have never used it even though I bought it years ago.

I have an old version of it too, Kitchenettics. The RAK has the same dimensions as the old one. I hope this helps.

I think your model the pot narrows slightly toward the top. So I don't think this is the one. I'm judging by the pictures only. Sorry Im not being more helpful.

I haven't checked out that one, but I do know that we love this kitchen. It's sturdy and easy to clean. It was worth every penny. You can't go wrong with this one. So much more to do then many other kitchens. Hope this helps

I bought this item 2 years ago because it was being discontinued. I already had a smaller version of the dutch oven and ordered this model to replace it. I believe it was being discontinued to be replaced by the 1000 series. This is a quote from Tramontina: "New manufacturing techniques combined with improved materials and design have revitalized old world cooking traditions to offer superior product performance and versatility for an exceptional cooking experience." They may have made changes to the material used or the enamel bonding process. I'm not sure exactly. The design of the 1000 series on their website looks like the sides may be less sloping than my model. I suppose you could email Tramontina and ask what the changes are. I like my model and use it often. It has held up well. I do hand wash it as directed.

It's the same pan. Your second answer: It's called marketing. You more likely to buy the sauce pans, etc. if you like the sauté pans. By the way they are the best pots and pans I've ever used. I own the complete offering including their bake ware!

It looks the same, however, if they have included directions on what you can use in the thing, plus times it takes to cook different pastas etc. it will be worth getting a new one. Otherwise, find a friend who purchased a pasta cooker by a different maker and use their directions - that is what I did.
