Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Calphalon Commercial hard-anodized pans are made for the more serious cook who is looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This oversize, 16-quart stockpot is good for making large meals from soup to stews to pasta, and its heavy-gauge aluminum construction also stands up to deep frying. The looped handles are easy to grip and stay cooler than you might expect, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan, but it's still a good idea to keep hot pads nearby. The nonporous and nonreactive hard-anodized surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food. It's also tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils and vigorous whisking. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides you the flexibility to take the pan to the oven or broiler. But do remember to hand wash your Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale Steinke

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy Enough To Make 200 Proof, June 14, 2003

By	D. Mikels "It's always Happy Hour here" (Skunk Holler) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

After overcooking our last batch Granny got mad and threw our pig iron cooker in the crick. Thank goodness I got wind of the CALPHALON 16-QUART STOCK POT. Not only did this cooker give us a better recipe, it gave our still a more "elegant" flare.

This pot's all-metal construction is perfect for cooking and fermenting cornmeal, and Cousin Skooter adds sugar and yeast with complete piece of mind that none of the precious ingredients will stick to the heavy-gauge aluminum surface. And boy howdy, 16 quarts makes for a lot of recipe--about six jars an hour drops out of the flakestand barrel.

Sure want to thank Cal (Cal Phalon, that is) for making such a wonderful cook pot. Ain't none of us figured out yet what "Hard-Anodized" means, although Cousin Buford claims he had to go to the doctor once to have his anods removed, but that's another story.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Calphalon pot, September 24, 2002

By A Customer

This is the first Calphalon pot that I have bought. I could not be happier. I debated whether to get the 12 quart v. the 16 quart but just went for the larger one. For just my husband and I, we cook spaghetti sauce and chili in this pot and freeze the leftovers for quick lunch and dinner meals. For the size, quality and price, it is great deal!
