the perfect copper pot for chutneys and jams. I think the pot is not too easy, boil after 2 hours Chutney has the pot well passed the acid test. For me, the handles have not changed, the enamel highlights outstanding, well I think the pot is not too thin, actually exactly perfect. Caramelizing sugar for the chutney went so well and quickly than ever before. What has surprised me is the incredibly low price, a comparable copper pot costs used with bumps in E Bay, two to three times plus shipping. A perfect purchase and a great pleasure that I have done me the great piece.
