Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for poaching fish, braising meats, frying pancakes, and numerous other uses, this versatile 3-quart nonstick saute pan cooks without added fat. Constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum, the saute pan heats and retains heat evenly for superior, professional cooking. Every chef's dream, the durable 3-ply nonstick finish simply wipes clean. Two handles, one long and one loop-style for added support, stay relatively cool when used on the stovetop, while the snug lid seals in flavors and nutrients. The pan is oven-safe to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and maintains its nonstick finish when used with either nylon or wooden utensils.--Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST BUY, April 8, 2003

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 3-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid (Kitchen)

The Calphalon Commercial NonStick line is high quality with a lifetime warranty. I have a number of nice pots and pans(all bought on sale--TryMe specials,etc)... Le Crusset -5Q & 8Q Dutch Ovens,sauce pans; All-Clad Stainless Steel -3Q Saute; Calphalon Commercial (NonStick and Regular)-roasting pans, stockpot, bakeware, omelet pans; which all are excellent and have their strengths.
But the two pans I grab the most often are the Calphalon Commercial Nonstick -- 3Q Saute and 9" Chef. The sizes are very practical (medium), stainless steel handles stay fairly cool on stovetop(not in the oven of course), I like the look and feel of them, flexible -- go from saute on the stovetop, to finish baking in oven to storing leftovers in the refridge, and almost wipe clean.
At this price, it would be first piece I would choose to start or add to a collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect professional saute at a bargain price..., May 18, 2003

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 3-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid (Kitchen)

This is the best nonstick saute in the world, and here's why:
1) The nonstick surface is superior to anything else you will ever use, and it's guaranteed forever. The Commercial line has the far better LRS3 nonstick material than the less expensive LRS material in the Calphalon Professional Nonstick II line. I have had both for several years and I can not recommend the Professional line because the surface becomes sticky over time, while the Commercial Nonstick surface is as slippery as the day I bought it.
2) The handle stays cool.
3) The pan is stunningly gorgeous, with its matte black anodized aluminum underside and its polished chrome handle.
4) You can even finish items in the oven at 350 degrees or so without damaging the nonstick surface...
5) The weight and balance of the pan are excellent; extremely sturdy yet not unwieldy. It includes a helper handle, which is a nice feature when cooking heavy foods with lots of liquid.

One caveat: You can not put Calphalon products in the dishwasher. It will cause discolorations and pits, and void the lifetime warranty to boot! But that is not a big deal because the superior nonstick surface is a breeze to clean.

Enjoy!

I have over 25 commercial nonstick pans in my collection. If you
are just starting a set don't hesitate to buy this offer! What a fabulous deal! This product is so easy to use and clean up, I
never enjoyed cooking like I have with these pans. Everytime I
am amazed at the food I turn out.
