Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This saucepot is a cookware staple that may very well be used every night of the week. The large 6-1/2-quart size can cook a substantial one-pot meal of chili, simmer large quantities of tomato sauce, or simply boil pasta for a family of four--with leftovers to spare.

As part of Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick line of cookware, this saucepot is made of heavy-gauge aluminum that's uniformly thick across the bottom and sides, allowing for quick and even heat distribution. The exterior of this pan is nonporous and won't chip, crack, or peel over time. The pan's interior has an advanced nonstick coating that is scratch-resistant (with the use of plastic or wooden utensils) and cleans easily. The patented cast stainless-steel handles are comfortable to grip and minimize heat transfer so they stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by three sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The tight-fitting lid is constructed of durable stainless steel and is domed to seal in moisture as food cooks. All cookware in Calphalon’s Commercial Nonstick line is oven-safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

I used this saucepan 3 times the first day it arrived! NOTHING stuck to it and cleaning it was a snap! If you need a medium size saucepot, this commercial nonstick is the way to go. You can't go wrong with this one!

Every professional chef-cook and-or serious home cook knows the importance of using the proper pot for specific purposes. So, this writing is for the novice.

So then ... As any serious Chef or Cook is fully aware of, expensive pots or pans will not make a great cook, no matter what any seller is trying to claim. Yet, this statement must be expanded to: 'Good cooking tools will aid and inspire serious cooks to improve his/her 'cooking skills', in addition, to making most cooking tasks much easier and noticeably more successful.

Having said that, my user review is on the ...
'Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 6-1/2 qt. (6.15 liter) Saucepot with Stainless Steel lid'

This 6-1/2 qt. pot is the perfect cooking vessel for just about anything you want to cook, which requires a deep pot. This holds particularly true for cooking 'Cheese Soups' or any one-pot meals which require cheeses in its recipes. This is a must have pot, for a small family. I own it, use it and am very happy with it.

Important Things To Remember about Calphalon's Nonstick Cookware:
1) Firstly, on VERY-LOW heat, Pre-Heat your Calphalon Nonstick pot for about one minute, before adding fat or food and do not use pray-on fats.
2) One of the most important rules in using any of Calphalon's heavy aluminum cookware, Hard Anodized or Nonstick, ALWAYS cook on either LOW to Low-Medium heat, during the whole cooking cycle. Believe me, it will cook.
3) Calphalon suggests 'NEVER' to use metal utensils on their Nonstick cookware, I have made myself a strict rule to use only plastic or wooden utensils, on all my cookware.
4) Follow Calphalon's cooking and cleaning instructions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great pot, but one problem, September 2, 2003

I've had this for a month, it's great. i love stewing, and the size is perfect for me. however, the handles and lid do get hot, so remember to put on gloves or wrap the handles with a rag before moving the pot around.
