Superb performance:
I originally bought this pot to boil water. The wide diameter let me take full advantage of a full flame 17500 BTU burner. For the past several months, it has done that job admirably. I never asked any more of it as I have several other pieces for the "real" cooking. I just cooked for 20 people coming over for a dinner party and was making a soup in my Le Creuset dutch oven. I decided to make the braised pork dish in this Calphalon One Infused Anodized 8-1/2-Quart Dutch Oven with Stainless Steel Lid.... more info
Calphalon One Infused Anodized 8 1/2 quart Dutch Oven:
Great for baking and stove top cleans up stickons with a sinple wash cloth and dish soap. Used to make soup, spagetti sauce, and baked apples. Great with the low height, the best pan I have ever owned (50 years cooking).
Quality, Prompt, Good Price:
I returned a similar pan that was not nearly as heavy and durable as this. Yes, I had to add a few bucks to it, but it was well worth it!!!
Amazon did GREAT, and EASY with the return/replacement!!! I was anticipating a problem, especially since the original one was a gift from someone.
My favorite pan:
I searched for a big wide pan that I could use to make my Paella. Although it is not really a Paella pan, it is perfect to fit lots of rice and seafood. I have used it whenever I have had a big dinner party and I want to make risotto, stews and big meals. It heats very evenly and is very easy to clean. I will definitely buy this brand in the future!
