Product Description
Amazon.com Review
With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the best attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The durable, 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. This 6-quart saucepot has a domed, glass lid so cooking can be monitored without releasing heat. The lid is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, ensuring the pot not only can be used atop a stove for pasta sauces, soups, and chili but can go into the oven for braising. Handles stay cool on the stovetop. The pot's rim is flared to facilitate dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to a mirror finish outside for beauty and wears a satin finish inside to conceal inevitable utensil marks. It goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing better preserves the mirror finish, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
Product Description
If you are drawn to the beauty of stainless steel, yet are reluctant to sacrifice the cooking efficiency of aluminum, you can now have the very best of both worlds. A mirror polish stainless steel exterior, a heavy gauge conductive aluminum filling, and a satin finish stainless steel interior form a 3-ply disc. The disk is then formed into a pan shape, with walls and bottom of equal thickness, which allows heat to be conducted evenly. Glass lids allow you to monitor food and their domed design returns condensed moisture to foods. Stay cool handles feature an ergonomic design and secure attachment. This generously sized saucepot is perfect for making chili, stews, and casseroles.

Great pot,
By
This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 6-Quart Saucepot with Glass Lid (Kitchen)
Don't know if the previous reviewer is a xenophobe or what, but this pot is fine whether it's made in China or the US. Buy it knowing you are buying into a great line of Calphalon pots, without spending bundles on a similar, but overpriced All-clad line.
It has a wonderful satin finish, and tri-ply on bottom and sides. Cool -V handle works well, even on a gas range. I like the glass lid, which allows me to peer into the contents whilst I'm cooking. A note about cleaning- after extended use, there will be tarnishing and brown blemishes (at least on my gas range). To get rid of these, do NOT use Bon Ami because it's too gentle- doesn't get rid of stains. Best way to go is Barkeeper's Friend, about $2.50 at your local supermarket, or Cameo Stainless Steel Cleaner. However, Cameo is more abrasive than Barkeeper's Friend, and WILL reduce the mirror polish of these pans. Barkeeper's is the way to go- remember to ALWAYS rub in a circular manner- back and forth will scratch the surfaces.

Good, but not the best,
By TW (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 6-Quart Saucepot with Glass Lid (Kitchen)
Calphalon's great reputation was built from great American made cookware. Unfortunately, this newer line is made in China, at a slight loss of quality. The finish on this pan is good, polished outside and satin inside. The polished, forged, stainless handles feel a bit thin, none the less strong enough. The glass lid is nice, though it does not mate firmly with the pan; there is a bit of an out-of-true wobble to it. The bottom is satin finished to heat better; etched with "Calphalon / Made in China." Performance is decent for a stainless stock pot, pretty even heating; just a bit slower heating than an aluminum or copper pot.
