Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A useful addition to any busy kitchen, this substantial chef's casserole offers a generous 7-quart capacity, which allows for cooking up large batches of pot roast, soup, or hearty stew for family and friends. Use it on the stove top to braise or sear meat, tofu, or vegetables, then cover it with the included domed lid and place it in the oven to finish the cooking process by baking Dutch-oven style. The versatile chef's casserole with lid measures approximately 14 by 11-4/5 by 7 inches.
Made of heavy-gauge, highly conductive aluminum, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware collection distributes heat quickly and evenly with no hot spots to worry about. The cookware features a durable hard-anodized finish that makes it stick-resistant and non-reactive to food so tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Even more, it comes equipped with balanced stainless-steel handles that minimize heat transfer for stay-cool use on the stovetop and secure transport from the stovetop to the oven to the table. The all-metal cookware can be safely used in the oven and under the broiler up to 450 degrees F and should be hand washed with a mild cleanser. The cookware carries a lifetime warranty.

Hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to food. Balanced handles make even full pans easy to manage and carry.

Quality Has Taken a Dive,

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole with Lid (Kitchen)
I currently own about 7 pieces of Calphalon cookware. I have been very pleased with the quality, and I try to pick up additional ones whenever I can. I was happy when I saw an Amazon offer for a Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole with Lid set for $60, down from $190. The few customer reviews were mostly favorable so I ordered one.
I did note some issues people were having with the Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 12-Quart Stockpot with Lid. To summarize it was noted that the pot was not made in America, was flimsy and thin in construction, and the finish quality was substandard. Being that I had already ordered, I waited to see what would arrive. I opened the Amazon box and took out the plain white box whose only markings were "Made in China." Nowhere did it even say Calphalon, so this was an object never intended for normal retail sale (at a Macy's etc.). The pot was indeed flimsy with comically puny handles. I scratched at the surface with my fingernail and appeared to slightly mar the surface. I then walked to my computer, clicked return, and printed out the return authorization. I think what disturbs me the most is if Calphalon is calling this piece of junk commercial quality, how can I possibly order one of their products unless I can physically touch it before I commit? Claiming a 68% savings on the price of this pot is ludicrous. This is more like one of those infomercials that packages 50 cents worth of plastic and says it's a $20 value. This flimsy pot would be expensive at $20. Calphalon may very well have lost me as a customer. I grabbed my caliper and took a couple of quick measurements of the thickness of several of my Calphalon pieces. My truly professional fry pan: 0.19" (4.8mm) Calphalon Contemporary pan: 0.179" (4.4mm) Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole: 0.10" (2.5mm)

Very useful size...,

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole with Lid (Kitchen)
This is a great pot if you know what you are getting. First of all, Calphalon's Commercial Hard Anodized line is NOT non-stick in the traditional sense, they make other lines that are, but this one is not. That said, if you follow the instructions, it does things a non-stick pot/pan can't do and cleans up very easily. It's especially good at searing and creating flavor in deglazing. At this point though I use this pot mainly for things like stews or chili. It does make a great pot roast too if that's your goal. I took one star off because it's not the same really heavy gauge as most of the other pots and pans I have from their Commercial Hard Anodized line. It's still a good pot, but noticeably lighter gauge. None of the this line is dishwasher safe either, if that's an issue for you.

I bought this to work as a dutch oven. I've made soups and roasts in it so far.
The sides of the pot are a bit thin for my tastes, although the bottom is comfortably thick. There are no hot spots on the bottom at all. Cleanup is a snap since it's hard anodized. Since it's not teflon, you can make pan sauces from the fond. It's not cast iron, so it won't substitute for your Lodge or La Creuset. On the other hand, it doesn't weigh 15lbs either. All in all, a very good pan for the money ($[...] on sale). I recommend it.
