1.0 out of 5 stars Warps, thin materail -- Not what you expect of "Calphalon", November 12, 2009

This review is from: Calphalon Classic Hard Anodized 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Rack (Kitchen)

I've been using Calphalon cookware for 15 years and have been very pleased with it overall. Based on that history, I decided to order this roaster because, while it's not a tri-ply, it's Calphalon, right? I was expecting a solid, anodized raosting pan similar to the other Calphalon cookware I've used.

Big mistake.

The pan was light weight and thin enough that, on unpacking, I seriously considered sending it back. However, still willing to give Calphalon the benefit of the doubt (and with Thanksgiving looming), I decided to go forward. Another reviewer mentioned the pan warps at temps above 450 degrees. I didn't even hit that temperature, and the pan *still* warped. Drippings burn at the drop of a hat on the bottom of the pan (be it turkey, roast, or what have you. even if you add more liquid). Don't even think about putting it on a burner to make gravy after you have the main protein out.

I have resigned myself to having to up the budget to get a decent roasting pan. If you are really wanting to get a roaster for under $60, try another product (or even one of the disposable aluminium ones you can get at the grocery store for about $5 -- really, this one is that bad).

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Pan at a premium price, May 4, 2006

This pan warps at temperatures above 450 degrees and the anondized finish has begun to peel off after less than ten uses.

If this roaster was priced at $25 it would be a good buy. It is way overpriced at $59.95.

Spend an extra $50 and get the Calphalon stainless steel Tri-ply-roaster----it is the real deal.

I love this roaster. I have not encountered any warping problems and I have used this pan extensively for two years. It deglazes well for making gravy and sauces.
