Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A midweight, midpriced alternative to Calphalon's Professional and Commercial Nonstick cookware, the Simply Calphalon line is made of hard-anodized aluminum for scratch-resistance and quick, uniform heating. It's harder than steel and won't chip, crack, or peel. Inside, the cookware is coated with nonstick material for low-fat (or nonfat) cooking and easy food release. Handles are made of contemporary satin-finish stainless steel and stay cool on the stovetop. The long handle on this straight-sided, 4-quart saucepan is a loop that has been rounded outside and bent inward at the bottom edges to fit the hand comfortably. A helper handle facilitates two-handed lifting. The pan's lid is made of brushed stainless steel. Inside, the pan's bottom has a rounded perimeter for stirring ease. Oven-safe to 375 degrees F, the pan is safe with nylon, wood, and plastic utensils and should be hand washed to preserve the nonstick. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pan at a great price, June 4, 2002

While I have coveted the more costly line of Calphalon cookware for years (the Pro line), I just received this great pan as a gift and am thrilled. The 4-quart size is perfect for many uses (yet not as big as a saute pan or stock pot). It heated up more quickly that other cookware I have, it cleaned up like a breeze, and it still has that sleek professional look of the higher-priced cookware. Yet it is very affordable. I can't wait to get more of this line of cookware for my kitchen.

I am not a person who really knows which brands are better than others, though I will say that this particular pan is better than anything else that I have in my kitchen. I use this pan for EVERYTHING! I love how there are 2 handles...makes it much easier to pour the contents out without having to fear the pan will slip from my hands. Be careful though...both of the handles get fairly warm. I can't wait to get more of them in all sizes! I would recommend this product to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality, March 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Simply Calphalon Nonstick Collector's Edition 4-Quart Saucepan with Lid (Kitchen)

This was my first Calphalon purchase & I am completely thrilled with this sauce pan. This piece was replacing a very poor quality T-Fal and I felt like dancing the jig while throwing it out. This Calphalon is top quality. It is an excellent sized pot. Expect it to be much heavier so if you have arthritis you might want to pass on it.Of course, there is always SOMETHING that could be changed, I won't lie to you. The lid gets very hot & you'll need a pot holder or towel when touching it. Also, be careful taking the lid off as any liquid will not stay inside the lid (when upside down while checking/stirring food) and it will drip all over the stove. I think you will be very happy with this purchase & it seems sturdy enough to last a lifetime.
