Editorial Review:

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. A glass lid allows you to monitor food and its domed design returns condensed moisture to foods. A stay cool handle features an ergonomic design and secure attachment. This shallow pan is good for warming leftovers, making reduction sauces and for cooking grains like rice and bulgur.

This 2-1/2-quart saucepan combines an elegant design in gleaming stainless-steel with the excellent performance that Calphalon cookware is known for. This saucepan is perfect for tomato sauces as it has a wider base for first sautéing garlic and a high enough shape for boiling tomatoes. It can also boil onions, stock, and vinegar for a savory clafouti or cook up a creamy chicken stew for four people. The pan is crafted of beautiful 18/10 stainless steel inside and out with a brushed finish on the interior to help maintain the pan's luster. A heavy-gauge aluminum core runs through the saucepan's center to provide more precise heat control. The pan has a flared rim, making it easier to pour liquids without spilling, and a domed, tempered glass lid that fits tightly on the rim. This cookware has Calphalon's patented stainless-steel Cool-V handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are ergonomically designed for a comfortable hold. All Tri-Ply Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, oven- and broiler-safe up to 450 degrees F, and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Couldn't be happier:

I ordered this stainless steel pan, as I am gradually replacing my aluminum ones. I was a bit put off when I first opened the box and saw how shallow it was, but have since come to love it for that very thing. There's more pan surface on the burner, so water boils sooner. In general, everything heats up very quickly. The see through lid is great. And it's quite beautiful to look at. Clean up has been a breeze. If it gets a little stained-looking, I use Barkeepers Friend (found in the grocery store), and it... more info

everything i would expect and more:

i bought this pan to make a cup of rice, or some chili or soup. being single and not a big fan of perpetual leftovers, this is the right size to do any of those. i chose free supersaver shipping, but the pan arrived the next day! i know i live within 10 miles of one of amazon's warehouses, but still!
i had been making chili for years in a cheapie 4 qt stainless chef's pan with the disc on the bottom, but without the aluminum core clad sandwich up the sides to evenly conduct the heat. tasty as it was, i... more info

Good buy:

I purchased this piece as it was the lowest priced on this line of Calphalon products, so I could make sure if this is the kind I would like to use as a set. I have been happy with my purchase so far using it for 3+ months. I use it for my every day Indian cooking.
- I am getting used to the heaviness while handling
- If I burn food, I just clean up with water, sprinkle baking soda with a little water and leave it overnight. It comes out spotless the next morning with normal scrubbing. Dont rub... more info

Heats evenly and very versatile:

This is an excellent deal for a very versatile pan. It's good looking, heats very evenly and doesn't stick or create little burned patches like the cheaper stainless steel stuff will. I've used it to make risotto, pasta sauces, Thai curries, stews, beans, chili and even rice(for 2-4 people) and it heats up very quickly and cooks evenly, nothing sticks and everything comes out picture perfect - just remember to heat up the pan before adding fat to avoid sticking. The glass lid is good for monitoring the... more info
