About this item

Heavy-gauge aluminum construction ensures even heating and is hard-anodized for durability. It also makes it dishwasher-safe.
Interior includes three layers of nonstick coating – two layers provide durability and the third layer offers easy release performance.
The long, brushed stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop. Pans and covers are also oven safe, making it ideal for finishing a gourmet dish.
The rich, elegant exterior color is not a surface coating, but is a result of a change the aluminum undergoes during hard-anodization, for a fully-infused, dishwasher safe color that won’t chip, crack or peel.
The nonstick surface means you can cook healthier using less fat, with effortless cleanup. Comes with Calphalon's full lifetime warranty.

This is a nice line of quality cookware. It’s made well. It will dent if you drop it from the countertop. It will scratch, so only use plastic or wood utensils and can only be hand washed. It’s kind of a less expensive version of cast iron and not so heavy.

I bought this as a gift, so I myself cannot say whether it was great or not. But, seeing it was requested as a gift. I think the couple who wanted it would give it a good recommendation.

The best pan for cooking. This is my second one. The first lasted me 7 years. I use it to cook sauces, meat and more. Love it so much.

For some reason, the outer coating is getting ashy and like the texture of it being sanded down.. great pot but for the cost idk why it’s acting up

Love this pan!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2018

Amazing pan! It's very large, leaving lots of room for mixing up pots of soup, stew, and pasta dishes. I cook a lot and have been searching for a pot like this for ages. Nothing sticks to it, it heats evenly, and it's a good weight (so as not to be too heavy when it's full and I need to strain pasta). This pot is also not made in China - mine says "Toledo, Ohio" on the bottom. I e-mailed Calphalon Customer Care to confirm that this pan was, in fact, made in the US (it is) and they sent me back a very detailed listing of where all of their different cookware lines are manufactured. Since I love this pan so much, that will come in handy when I add more pieces. If I had to change one thing about this pan, however, I would prefer that the bottom was not smooth. It could use some texture because it's not heavy and seems to want to slide around on the stovetop burners a bit. This is not a huge deal for me, as I make a habit of cooking with my larger pans on the rear burners anyway. But just in case you have little ones at home who like to be around the stovetop when you're cooking.... be aware of that.

The glass cover was not Calphalon. Just a cheap reproduction.

While this does not affect cooking, the cheap construction spoils the product.

I bought this large pot in 2017 and now, the non-stick coating started to come off and go into my food. Considering the price I paid, I expected it to last longer, despite the fact that I used it a lot. Would not recommend.

Bad customer service

This Item came one day before Christmas, it was for my husband who loves to cook. We cooked a small turkey in it and just before it was done went to put lid on it. The lid was dented in two spots would not fit the pot. I sent pictures to Calphalon on the 6th of Jan and have not heard back since. Bad service.

This cookware is so easy to wash and cooks very well ! I have never enjoyed cooking with such a light weight cookware, that can be used on top of the stove or in the oven !
