The questions that come in

How does it compare with the Sayfine?

It costs about $5 more, and adds an expandable handle, stated dishwasher safety and a lifetime warranty listing.

Will it fit a 10-inch pot?

It collapses, so it should, but the listing gives no minimum diameter. Measure before you buy.
