Product Description:
Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability.The 2.5-Qt. Shallow Saucepan with Lid is designed for making and reducing sauces, roux and for heating soup or, boiling eggs. The thick bottom and sides absorb heat evenly and help protect delicate sauces from overheating. The wider, shallower design allows liquid and moisture to evaporate more quickly, so your reductions and sauces are ready sooner.Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum, all-metal construction with the advanced technology of the Cool V stainless handles. The aluminum construction provides superior cooking performance by distributing the heat evenly so there are no hot spots as you cook. And because it's made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. The hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to the foods being cooked. The Cool V handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and are balanced with such precision that the pans feel lighter when you pick them up.

Amazon.com Review:
This straight-sided 2-1/2-quart pan can be used for sauces and, covered with its flat lid, for stews and casseroles. Shallow (3 inches) in relation to its capacity and diameter (8-3/8 inches), this pan, unlike conventionally proportioned saucepans, exposes lots of surface and is therefore ideal for reducing sauces or even stocks and broths. Though it's not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. The contoured, textured handle is cast stainless steel and resists heating on the stovetop; it's also triple-riveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Poorly Coated Pot
I was very excited to receive the Calphalon pot and although it was a bit shorter and wider than most of the 2-3 quart pots I have used, I thought it would be fine.I used it for the first time to heat stew and after carefully hand washing, set it in my drainer to dry.The next morning it was a dull gray color and the coating appeared to have disappeared, both inside and out.I rubbed the pot with canola oil and it absorbed the oil but the finish was unchanged.I tried using the pot for some ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great little saucepan
This sauce pan is great for a small family.It is truly non-stick and is easy to clean inside and out.The lid matches and is easy to clean as well.The only thing that would have improved my rating is for a glass lid so I can watch the food as it is cooking.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The greatest pot you'll ever own !
You can't go wrong with this pot.I've had one for five years and it looks and performs as it did on the first day. It cooks well but best of all, it's so easy to clean! Buy one for its price, durability, and performance.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My Favorite Saucepan!
I have used Calphalon as long as I can remember (this is all my mother would use when I was growing up, but at that time it was made by a different company). I love the fact that the handle doesn't get hot like the old brand did. Great product! It will last forever if taken care of properly.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - solid and sturdy
This is an unpretentious little pan that does whatever you want it to do well.As promised, it heats up is a quick even fashion, and I have yet to discover anything I have cooked in it overdone on one side.I was concerned about the pitting about which several readers have complained.But after about 15 uses, so for the finish remains satiny smooth.
