 Excellent addition to my Calphalon family May 18, 2008
Heats evenly, a perfect addition to my Calphalon family.
Great for cooking, I use mostly for making large quantities of rice and it works beautifully. Perfect for soups, rice, stews, and large quantity meals. Cleans very easy, fits in a dishwasher. Strong Durable. Affordable. It's used very often.
Recommend this product. Average shipping.

We do not have this pan but have quite a few Calphalon pans. The Chinese ones are thinner and the anodize tends to scratch off. The American made ones, however, hold up like iron. I always check the nation of origin with these and avoid those made in China.
 The Ugliest Calphalon Money Can Buy May 14, 2008

This pot is like the ugly step child in my kitchen. It's hideous when compared to the other beautiful pots and pans Calphalon makes. While the pot functions beautifully and holds true to the quality of Calphalon, it's just plain ugly. Although the description says "Shallow" Saucepan, I guess I don't really know what that means because this pan is not shallow at all! It is very deep, and is a very big saucepan. Nothing sticks to it, and it is very heavy and sturdy. Even the lid feels unbreakable. But it's ugly. Note this pot is made in China. Most of Calphalon's stuff is made in Ohio, but their "cheaper" line, Simply Calphalon, is manufactured overseas by communists. If you look around Amazon, you'll find for ten more bucks you can get a beautiful piece of Toledo-made Calphalon that hasn't been beaten with an ugly stick. To me looks are everything, so I wouldn't recommend this one.
Some cons - I was expecting, with a lifetime warranty, that I would be able to throw this thing around and just send it back if it ever broke, right? Well, Calphalon gives you a long list of things you can't do to this - using non-stick cooking spray, metal utensils, put it in a dishwasher, stack them on top of eachother (what - stacking two pots on top of each other will void the warranty? Come on!), etc. After I bought my cookware set if feels like I have a newborn in the house.
But this is great quality Calphalon cookware at unbeatable prices at Amazon.com!
Love It! May 12, 2008
I love it....I had not used Calphalon until my daughter gave me some for Christmas and I loved it....When I saw a great Fri. deal on Amazon I started to add to what I have...I have not been disappointed yet...Very good quality and a reasonable price...Thanks, Amazon
 Price was low, but very cheaply constructed May 11, 2008

Got this as part of their 4 for 3 promotion, so the price was right, but even for $15, they made a healthy profit. Handle looks like silver paint, not stainless steel as advertised. Pan is heavy weight anodized aluminum, but watch the heat, sticking is definitely a problem as many other reviews have told. "Commercial" line seems to come in two different quality levels. The good stuff is good, the cheap "China" stuff is really poor quality. Amazon sells both versions and it isn't easy to tell which one you're buying based on the listing. The Calphalon crepe and short-and-saucy pans I bought are really nice. This one and the everyday pan are awful. You definitely get what you pay for -- they aren't in business to lose money.
