Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Simply Calphalon Nonstick Anodized line of cookware is an excellent alternative for those who prefer cooking on a nonstick surface and who desire Calphalon quality at a budget price. This 4-quart saucepan simmers up larger quantities of soup, tomato sauce for pasta, or fruit sauce for ice cream.

Made of durable hard-anodized aluminum of uniform thickness, the pan is an excellent heat conductor and cooks food quickly and evenly. Its double-coated nonstick interior prevents food from sticking and makes cleanup easier. The pan has oval stainless-steel handles with a blasted satin finish that are comfortable to grip and are held in place by sturdy stainless-steel rivets. This cookware is oven-safe up to 375 degrees F so you don’t have to dirty several pans to make one dish. All cookware in this line is 100-percent dishwasher-safe and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great pot!!!, July 19, 2004

This is the first time I tried a Calphalon product. I compared the Commercial version with this Simply Calphalon. It seems like this one has 10 years of warranty while the Commercial brand has lifelong warranty (my life or the product's life ;)).

Anyways, I wasn't expecting this to be such a great pot:
- handle stays cool nearly all the time.
- If you keep the cover on longer for a period of time, it's handle will get hot.
- super easy to clean. just couple of wipes. On the first day of getting this pot, I cooked thrice in this pot and it was just amazing.
- I found the heat to be more uniform as compared to other brands.
- you cannot put this in the dishwasher which will void the warranty.

Overall, I find this pot very use and I find myself cooking more often. From now onwards, I'll only buy Calphalon brand. I will try commercial also sometime, but I guess if this pot lasts for 10 years I'll be more than happy.

A great buy, although you might get it cheaper if you look longer since the price keeps changing on amazon quite frequently.

I've bought this saucepan for my wife a year ago. She likes it very much and she uses it daily. The saucepan is still good as new. This is lower end line of Calphalon which has only 10 year warranty but it is still a good alternative. I think it is made in China because it doesn't say where it was made. I give a four star because it is not as good as the other Calphalon's lines. I recommend to buy it if you don't want to spend much more money for other more Calphalon lines of products.

I tracked this pot for a long time hoping to get it for the $30 referenced earlier...

Well, I didn't buy it at $40, (rounding off) and then it went to $50, so I watched it everyday, and for a brief window is was so cheap, I bought two...

I don't think Amazon would appreciate me telling you what I did pay... <grin> Let's just say it was under $20... But it's a good sturdy pot in it's own right, and I'm looking forward to getting plenty of cookin' out of both of them...

The helper handle is a major plus! Even Aluminum is heavy when it's this thick and when full, "one handing" a 4 qt. pot is not something for the faint of heart, or weak of limb...

I would say if you find this baby at under $30, jump all over it...

And as an aside, I prefer the look, feel and heft of the Simply Calphalon line better than the Commercial or the Contemporarry, and I have a lot of each.. That it has only (LOL, "only") a ten year warranty shouldn't disuade you from taking advantage of the benefits of this line...
