Amazon.com Review:
Calphalon Commercial pans are made for the serious cook who's looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. For example, this straight-sided, 12-inch diameter, 5-quart sauté pan, with its heavy-gauge aluminum bottom and sides, heats evenly and won't warp under higher heat needed for pan-frying. Use a light hand on the heat dial though to protect the nonstick surface from overheating. Also, use plastic, coated, or wood utensils to protect the finish. The curved cast stainless-steel handle is easy to grip and stay cooler than expected, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan. There's also a short looped utility handle on the opposite side of the pan for heavy lifting. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides the flexibility to take the pan to the oven to keep food warm until it's ready to serve. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish, and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale Steinke

Rating: - Great pan, but wait on the price
This is a great pan.I bought it on Amazon in 2007. It was shipped by Amazon at that time, with free shipping, and the price was $49.95.I would not pay the current price, and I would advise others to wait.You may have noticed that price is not mentioned in other reviews, though I did not check them all. The positive reviews I checked were older ones, and I would guess that the people who wrote these probably bought the pan for the same $49.95 price I did.
Rating: - very unhappy

I purchased this product for my daughter for Christmas only to have to stop using it after several months. The bottom warped and the finish is coming off.
Rating: - Love it!
This is an awesome pan.It is HUGE.I can cook anything in this, but it's especially good for gumbo/jambalaya/pasta mixes for a large crowd.

After cooking, it takes me about 20 seconds to clean it under hot water and a sponge, dry it, and put it away.Don't put it in the dishwasher, there is no need.

Highly recommend it.I could use this as my only pot/pan in the kitchen.
Rating: - Outstanding Value
Works just as advertised.Easy to use and cleanup is a snap.Well built very good heat distribution.A little heavy with only one hand and you learn FAST to use a glove or hot pad when using two hands!
Rating: - So Far I Love It
I've only used it twice, but so far it's a great pan.It's right size to cook just about anything.
