The Walchoice 1QT Saucepan is a small enameled cast iron pot with a matching lid, made for sauces, oatmeal, reheating and single servings. The enamel coating handles acidic and alkaline foods and resists rust, staining and dulling, and the pot works on induction, gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and in the oven up to 500°F. The lid's interior bumps turn steam into condensation that drips back onto the food. Against nonstick and stainless saucepans it holds heat far longer but weighs much more and needs hand washing with wood or silicone utensils. Owners of small enameled cast iron pots generally rate the heat retention and browning highly and note the weight and careful cleaning as the trade-offs.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 41 ratings, buyers of this small enameled cast iron pot are largely positive. They like the heat retention, the tight lid and the small size for sauces and single servings. The usual complaints are weight and the care the enamel needs.
This 1-quart saucepan is made from enameled cast iron. It has a double layer of enamel on the inside and outside, which resists dulling, staining and wear. The enamel is resistant to acidic and alkaline foods and the pot is rust-free.
The tight-fitting lid has small protrusions that turn steam into condensation, which helps lock in moisture and flavor. The pot has long handles. It works on induction, electric, gas, ceramic and halogen stovetops and in the oven, up to 500°F. It is not for use in a microwave.
Wash it by hand in warm soapy water with a soft sponge after each use, once it has cooled. Use wooden, silicone or nylon utensils, because metal pads or utensils can scratch or chip the enamel. Do not heat the pot empty. Store it in a dry place.
