Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Use this versatile pan to braise meats, poultry, and vegetables and to cook pasta sauces, stews, chili, and soups. It functions equally well in the oven, to 450 degrees F, or on top of the stove. Its domed glass lid collects and returns moisture to food and permits monitoring of the cooking progress without reducing the inside temperature. For that no-nonsense, commercial-kitchen look, Calphalon's Professional Nonstick II cookware wears a matte finish; to protect the cooking surface, use only plastic, nylon, and wood utensils. The stainless-steel handles are multiriveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, this pan cooks without hot spots or warping, and it's anodized for extra hardness. Hand wash with mild detergent and a plastic or nylon scrubber. Lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars I like it, June 10, 2000

I wanted a bigger pot than the ones that came with the ten piece set. If you're looking for a dutch oven this is it. It's the perfect size for spaghetti or fettuccine. This is the best price that I have found anywhere--online or at stores.

If you just need to boil some angel hair pasta for a couple minutes without having to break it in half, this nifty little saucier will do the trick.

Or if you're making a fancy boeuf bourguignon that's going to take a couple hours on the stovetop, and then endure the oven at 450 degrees, this pot can handle it.

And the best part? That non-stick surface makes any clean-up a breeze, without having to suffer uneven heating or undue fragility.

My only complaint is that the stainless steel handles are too thin to be very heat resistant. But if you own an oven mitt or two, that shouldn't be a problem.

You'll love this saucier pan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Handles hot, but otherwise a terrific product!, May 24, 2001

Like the previous reviewer stated, the handles on this thing get quite hot - more so on the pot itself than the lid. Make sure you've got a potholder on standby! But otherwise its just a joy to use. This was a replacement for a Revere 5qt nonstick that was part of the set I got as a wedding gift, so I made a definate step up in quality. There's just no comparison. This one cooks so much more evenly, has a nice weight to it, and has done a great job with everything I've cooked in it...Pay for quality, and you only have to buy it once!
