The stainless steel 5 quart sauce pan is top quality. While there are other top name brands out there in stainless steel their quality has gone down considerably over the years. The brand my mother used when I was still at home has not met with my expectations, sadly. Calphalon stainless products are outstanding. I would recommend them to everyone. My son, chef that he is, uses nothing but Calphalon stainless steel pots and pans.

i purchased one of your saute pans at a garage sale (why anyone would get rid of it is beyond me) and loved it so much i bought a larger size and got rid of my tefflon pan. i love the product and would certainly recommend to others thanks pat wyeth, eastport maine

use of stainless again

I love getting back into a quality pan for cooking again. I have worked in resturants in the past, but have not invested in a nice cooking set til now. The 5qt. saute pan was the first to try in the set. The heating for the pan is perfect and the food comes out awesome. Yes, if you are a beginner then you may have some sticking issues or some discomfort with using stainless, but with the even heating of this set it sure makes it easy. The cost is more then fair for the quality of the product. We are so happy that I went out this weekend to the outlet store and purchased the 11 piece set of the tri-ply to go along with the two pieces we have.

This is the perfect size pan for stir fry recipes. The pan is easy to care for, and is a joy to cook with.

Professional cookware best

This saute pan is the best I have used and it works beautifully on my induction cooktop.
