"Non Stick scratched" 2009-05-24
By D. Sun (Vallejo, CA United States)
Enjoyed this sauce pan. The build quality is high, the glass lid is nice to be able to check boiling levels without opening the lid. I wish this was just hard anodized without the non stick interior. Very careful with my cookware, but the inside has been scratched.
"Buying a Second One!" 2009-05-05
By California Duet (Southern California)
Such an amazing product for such a reasonable price! I just put a second one in my cart because the first is always in use.
I use this at least once a day, and it performs flawlessly for every task. Rice, potatoes, sauces, veggies, soup reheats, etc. - versatile, good heat conduction, super easy cleanup. Especially like the glass lid; looks clean and streamlined, and easy to check rice without peeking.
Only word of caution: The handle on the pot stays cool, but the handle on the lid does not, so don't let your mind wander - as mine did - ouch!
"Warped and Warped again" 2009-03-05
By Kenta Koga (NH)
Out of the box the pan I had warped after the first use. If you have a glass top, or otherwise completely flat cooktop stay away from this pan.
I contacted Calphalon and was sent a replacement which took approx 2 months. When I received the replacement I put approx. 2 cups of water in it and began to heat it on medium high heat and had the same result. It had a terribly warped bottom and is what I would consider to be unusable
I do have other pieces of cookware from them that do not exhibit this behavior. I am again contacting Caphalon to replace the pan a second time however since I have had two pans now with the same problem I have little faith that a third replacement would be better.
"Wonderful pot" 2009-02-28
By K. Williamson (Colorado)
I love this pot. I cook rice in it often - and sauces. It even goes in the oven! (think it's up to 350 or maybe 400 degrees)
I've had it several years - use it at least once a week - and just love it! It's easy to clean, things don't stick, it's heavy and sturdy and the Calphalon warranty and customer service are AWESOME (I had 2 Calphalon skillets I recently had to return due to the coating coming off and they were quickly replaced by new ones, no questions asked)
"The perfect saucepan!!!" 2009-02-17
By Kentee (San Francisco, CA)
I normally don't write reviews but I had to look up this purchase a year later and made sure to give this 2 huge thumbs up!!!! As a chef this is my new favorite pan. I use it for everything! The construction is of high caliber material. It's heavy, the heating is even, firm handle, and the lid fits perfectly. The glass allows me to see when it's exactly done w/o opening the lid.
What makes this so great is the nonstick quality is the best I've seen in a long time. As long as you don't use abrasive cleaning or metal cooking utensils, the nonstick looks and perform like it was in mint condition. And on top of all this.... the cost is BARGAIN! I didn't realized how cheap this was until I pulled up my purchase. I would pay up to $99 for this pan because it's worth it. If you are new to cooking, a regular house mom, or a professional, you should really, really have this pan in your arsenal. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. If you have child in college, a sibling that loves to cook, or someone who doesn't own a decent kitchen cookware you should get them this pan! It's an affordable gift that keeps on gving. I own the entire All-Clad set but this pan still remains my favorite. And that set was valued at $800!!!!!
