Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Also known as a Dutch oven, this pan goes on stovetop or in the oven (to 450 degrees) to braise meats, poultry, fish, or vegetables or to cook any casserole dish like macaroni and cheese. Use it for soups and sauces, also. Its domed, stainless-steel lid collects moisture and returns it to foods during cooking. Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick cookware is coated with an especially durable, multilayered nonstick material. Use only plastic, nylon, and wood utensils. The pan is anodized for hardness. For that no-nonsense, professional-kitchen look, this cookware wears a matte finish. Polished, cast-stainless-steel handles are multiriveted for durability. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, this pan cooks without hot spots or warping. The pan comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Calphalon is good, but for Casseroles, buy Creuset, May 11, 2000

I'm a big fan of Calpahlon equiptment for skillets and sauce pans, but when it comes to Dutch ovens and casseroles they do not even compare with Creuset. Conducts heat perfectly, well-balanced and very easly to clean. They are also indestructable, whereas Calphalon requires that you be relatively gentle -- this comes in handy when you have to clean post-baking. I inheirited one of these pots and then bought another. Since then I have excused all similar imitations from the kitchen.

I recommend the 3.5 QT Creuset 'French Oven' as a great all purpose piece (I know, it's really a Dutch over but those French are so proud). If I had to equipt my kitchen with 3 cooking pots/pans, this would come right after the skillet and sauce pan.

I had been looking for a good non-stick cooking vessel for a long time till I bought this one.I love it, it's the best I've bought so far. I use it daily for all my cooking. It's suitable for a family of four, is very easy to clean and looks good too.The only drawback is the handles get hot after a while of cooking.

I was actually looking for something else when I bought this casserole and feel very fortunate that I didn't find what I wanted and bought this pan instead. The size is perfect, neither too big nor too small for most uses and highly versatile. I can't say enough good things about the Commercial Non-Stick finish; it's perfect for cooking things on top of the stove, and it truly is non-stick, which means that little or no oil is needed for cooking.

I have other pans in this line and have found them all to be without flaw.

Highly recommended!
