When this first came, I was a little disappointed as I thought the pan felt light and maybe wouldn't hold up. So far, I have used it for soup and canning (salsa and stewed tomatoes) and it works well. When I ordered it I thought the base was 12 inches, but it actually requires a 9 inch burner (I have a glass cooktop). The lid sits well and doesn't rattle. It washes up just like other stainless steel cookwear.

6.5 qt stainless soup pot

I love this pan!! It's just enough bigger that a regular dutch oven so big amounts of soup don't boil over. Looks great ,cleans up well.I searched the internet looking for this pan for a long time.

Brown that soup meat and simmer!

I needed a pot that I could get a nice browning on meat for making soups. This pot has performed great and has already turned out some delicious meals. This pot not only performs well but looks great too!

I love Calphalon. I particularly love the glass lids - no more mystery about what's going on in the pot (contrary to popular opinion, watched pots *do* boil).
This one replaces a Calphalon non-stick pot which, thanks to those in the household who just must use metal utensils, was pretty well scraped up.

This is a beauty. Generously sized and perfect for cooking enough pasta for a 4 - 6 person gang, or to make enough soup, stew or chili to feed 6 to 8, it heats evenly, cleans up like a dream and if you do manage to stain it, grab the Barkeepers Helper. Voila! Shiny and stain-free as new.

great pot

This line from Calphalon is really striking, heats up and cools down quickly, cooks very effectively, and cleans up fairly easily.

This is a very nice pot and I love to make my soups in it. It was a great addition to my cookware

Everything about this cookware is true. Versatily - stove top to oven to broiler; browns, braises, broils, boils and roasts and bakes perfectly. Heat distribution is excellent. Clear cover allows easy monitoring. Good seal ensures flavor and nutrients remain in food. Weight and design make it well-balanced, eay to lift when full. Handles stay pretty cool on stove top, but always use potholders as long-term cooking does eventually make handles hot. Cover handle also gets hot after prolonged time on stove. Cleans easily and beautifully. You can make almost everything in one pot. I have this two weeks and have made roasts, soups, stews, sauces, and all my recipes have come out better than ever before than with any other pots/pans,trays. Excellent value, superb quality. I no longer wish for a $400 dutch oven!

LOVE IT!

This pot is impressive. It has great and even heat conductivity, looks sleek and most of all, the lid doesn't leak when closed all the way. It's also a perfect size to cook with. Not to big not to small.

It's a high quality product and worth the price.

I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought the Pot for my son and his wife. I thought it was wondeful and so did my daughter in law. I was very pleased withe my purchase.

LOVE IT!!!!

Great pot...

Not just for soup, though. It's a good pot for boiling potatoes, cooking corn. Also great for braising. Perfect size for a lot of things. It's well made and very easy to clean. Very attractive, too.

Soup Pot

This is 1 of 3 new pots I ordered adding to my Calphalon set. It is the best.

I love making soup this time of year and this pot is just the right size.
