A perfect compliment to the set I have and perfect for small cooking needs.

This was a beautiful design of very high quality. I wish they'd bring it back, the newer look is inferior.

Calphalon is our favorite, and this lives up to our expectations. Great pot, great lid.

I love this pan, but I have to agree with the other reviewers comment on the glass lid. Food can get into the crack in between the glass and the metal at the edge of the lid. I use a nylon bristle brush after leaving my lid in hot soapy water dith a drop of clorox to get it clean, but I can see how some people would not want the trouble. Luckily, I rarely use the lid in such a way as to get it very messy anyway. The Unison series and the Commercial series from the same company does not have this problem.

Back to the pan, the non-stick surface is very hard, and I have had mine 5 years now and it still looks great. The metal conducts the heat evenly, and the handle does not get hot, depending on how you use it. It is not dishwasher safe and requires hand washing, but it is very easy to wash these pans.

The trouble with this pot is that food eventually works its way between the glass lid and the lid's metal rim. Because of the lid's design, there's no way to remove this food, so it sits there, no doubt forming an excellent growth medium for bacteria. I ended up throwing the pot and lid out.
