Great Sauce Pan

I'm not a professional chef, so I don't use this pan to make sauces. If I were, and made sauces "from scratch", I would be more likely to get a pan with sloping sides (Windsor Pan)for more efficient reducing of the excess liquid. However, for everyday generic use, such as boiling or simmering, this pan is ideal. Not too heavy, yet thick enough to ensure even heating on our gas cooktop, robust enough to withstand the occasional metal spoon for taste tests, and easy enough to clean. It is definitely not non-stick, but that's the point, isn't it? If you want to create a sauce, you should have little pieces of food "burnt" on to use as "natural flavor" for your sauce or soup. If you're afraid of food sticking, use a little butter - or use Teflon (R) coated cookware.

Covered Shallow Sauce Pan

This is a good saucepan to use when you need a smaller size. Easy to stir in due to being more shallow.

Handle

Handle should be a little longer to provide provide better leverage.

2.5 qt covered sauce pan

This is the perfect size for cooking for 2.

Love this pot.

Does a very nice job

Even though this is not a nonstick pan, it is very easy to clean. Plus it conducts heat perfectly and is beautiful to look at.

Amazing

I love this pan! It's perfect.

Great size for smaller meals. Cleans easily as do all pieces of my Calphalon cookware.

Products

I have several pieces of Calphalon and it is the BEST cookware I have ever had. I love it and recommend it to anyone thinking of purchasing it.

How good it is to use.

Easy to cook with and to clean up!

Shallow Sauce Pan

The Covered Shallow Sauce Pan 2.5 Qt is a very sturdy pan. It is very heavy as a downside, and I think I would have preferred a conventional size instead of this one. Calphalon did not have any regular size sauce pan on their website. Otherwise, it works well.

Love to cook

I love to cook. I realized early on that good cookware makes the task easier. I have several other calphalon pieces. A skillet, another sauce pan, a griddle, and a wok. I recently had a ss wearever pan that my husband brought to our marriage burn out. I needed to replace it. My experience with my other sauce pan caused me to order new ones from Calphalon.

Pot review

I did not notice when I purchase this pot that it did not have the black heat resistant grips on the lid and handle. Have burned my fingers several times already.

Great cookware for any type range that you may have.
We have several kinds of Calphalon pans and skillets and have nothing but the best to say about all of them.

Good quality. Great price

I was able to order this at a great discount and it was worth every penny. Great quality product.

Product review

I see the need for a product review but think it would better serve both the company and the purchaser if the question was asked after a longer period of use. Having used the product for only 1 week doesn't give it a true test. Contact me after a year or even 6 months of use and see if I still like it. Durability is my real concern with cookware.

What Pan Do I Use

Calphalon of course! This little pan will serve me
well for the rest of my life! Its well made and I trust
the name. When I cook I like to have pans of all
different sizes. In the past I bought pans with handles
that eventually became loose and required daily
tightening of the screws. That becomes a pain after
a while. That won't happen with this pan. I love it!

The pot is exactly the style of pot I wanted, although a 3.5 qt. pot would have been better. It was hard to tell the size online. It is a difficult style pot to find. Shallow, wide with straight sides.

I purchased this for cooking rice and it's great....... no sticking.

I have used Calphalon products for a number of years and I just don't think the value and quality can be beat anywhere.
