As Calphalon proudly reports of its Tri-Ply Stainless sauté pan, "searing is believing." This 3-quart model browns, caramelizes, and fries with beautiful efficiency, taking advantage of its stainless-steel exterior and heavy-gauge aluminum core (combining the best features of each). The pan is so smooth, sautéing onions and garlic is a near-religious experience.
Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless cookware features a softly brushed, stainless surface that makes it easy to determine when vegetables or meat are browning. In addition, the aluminum core spreads heat evenly while responding quickly to temperature changes. This is an ideal pan when appearance is a priority, as the mirror-polished exterior looks sharp in any kitchen. The pan also has an ergonomic Cool V handle design, which is curved to deliver superior balance and feel and stays cool on the stovetop. Plus, the domed, tempered glass lid lets you monitor you food while cooking. The lid fits snugly inside the pan, keeping moisture and nutrients from escaping. The pan is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, is dishwasher-safe, and comes with a lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen

5.0 out of 5 stars
great pan for the price!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 3-Quart Sauté Pan (Kitchen)
Although I was coveting the All-Clad 3-quart saute pan, I bought this one because I couldn't resist the price. I already had the 8 inch omlette pan and was impressed with its performance, so thought I'd give this one a try.So far I've been really impressed. It heats up extremely quickly and evenly, and I've noticed that it takes a much lower heat setting than my lesser quality pans, and still cooks food more quickly. Another bonus is that nothing seems to burn...I've even forgotten onions for a while in it without incident. I've cooked chicken parmisan, curries, fried potatoes, and chili in it all with good results. Its a good size (big enough to make a family-sized batch of food, without being so big that it's unweildy to use), attractive, and the workmanship on it is excellent. I have a 12-inch Emerilwear Stainless fry pan, and this pan seems to be on equal footing with it in terms of performance, although it is slightly lighter. My only criticisms are that being stainless rather than non-stick, cleanup can mean soaking in hot water for a while, and it definitely shows a tendency to develop heat stains (those brown and blue swirly patterns on the bottom of the pot). Stainless steel polish takes care of those without problem, its just that I didn't anticipate having to use it on every wash. The handle on the lid also tends to get hot. The side-grip and v-handle seem to stay cool no matter what, but the lid handle definitely requires a towel after leaving food to simmer for even a little while (and my hands aren't that sensitive). This also isn't the pan you'd want for one-handed saute flips...for that I'd highly recommend the Calphalon Tri-ply 8 and 10 inch fry pans (they're fabulous!), but its really well suited to those dishes you want to be evenly browned and/or simmered. Even with its minor flaws, I give this 5 stars.

My Favorite Pan!,
By
This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 3-Quart Sauté Pan (Kitchen)
I own probably 10-15 Calphalon pans (Commercial Hard Anodized, Commercial Nonstick, Calph One, Tri Ply) and this is by far my favorite. The construction is top notch, the appearance is polished and elegant, and the shape is the traditional french saute. The pan looks and feels like its worth $130 and comes close to competing with the similar (and much more expensive) All-Clad models. As far as functionality, the pan is easy to use, easy to clean, and gives you far greater control over your sauces (and sautes) then any pans near this price. The Tri-Ply contruction (18/10 stainless steel on both sides of an aluminum core) allows for even heating through-out the entire pan and makes even the most elemental cooking easy and fun. Obviously I can't say enough about this pan, but at this price its hard not to resort to hyperbole. It is true that the retail on this pan lists for $39.99 and that you could walk into any store (Lines N Things, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc) and pay the same price, but that does not dimish the value of the pan itself. It is one of the Calphalon Collector's edition pans, made in China (instead of Toledo) and thus able to be offered for considerably less than its US counterpart. From what I can see there is very little appreciable difference between this and the one made in the US other than (obviously) the "Made in" stamp on the bottom. Go out and get this Pan, it is worth every penny, and then some... Oh and to set the record straight, those who called the pan cheap and flimsy have either never actually used the pan or don't know the difference between "Clad" pans (all-clad, Tri-ply) and those with just a thick slab of aluminum on the bottom. The pan feels and looks substantial and does indeed have an aluminum core running throughout the bottom and sides. Three cheers for Calphalon for making such a great product so affordable, I just ordered another!

It really is tri-ply!,
By
This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 3-Quart Sauté Pan (Kitchen)
This is a beautiful tri-ply stainless-steel saute pan. The pan is most definitely not light weight junk. The bottom is not as heavy as pans with an aluminum disk on the bottom because it is tri-ply. The aluminum core is sandwiched between two layers of stainless and goes through out the entire pan. The sides and the bottom are the same thickness. This is not a bad thing. It is a good thing.The pan would retail for $130 if it was not a "select savings" special promotion item. I paid only $28 but it is still a good value at the sticker price of $39.99 since there is no shipping or state tax.The cover does collect water inside the seal. I never would have noticed it but the other reviewer is right. I just checked my other pans with glass lids (Steelon Professional) and found exactly the same condition. Maybe this is normal and not a defect or a design flaw. In any event, just put the cover in the dishwasher and the heat will take care of the "problem." You can also put the pan in the dishwasher while you are at it. Really a lovely pan. Oh - I cooked some fried eggs in it and they didn't stick at all. Cleanup was very easy. No scouring needed. It is such an elegant looking piece that I plan to bring it to the table to serve from. I am very happy with my purchase. This pan makes a very nice addition to my rapidly growing collection of Calphalon commercial hard anodized and non-stick. Buying these pots and pans at Amazon's low prices has become an addiction. Buy it. You will love it.
