Product Description:
From the comfortably arched handles to the stylish flared silhouettes, the Calphalon Contemporary line is designed to please. Looks aren't everything however, and this cookware line is not simply another pretty face! No indeed, this collection is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, reknowned for its fast and even heating, and it's lined with durable non-stick for easy clean up and low fat cooking. Lids are of tempered glass to allow visual monitoring of the cooking process. This sauce pan is a good choice for making puddings, heating hot fudge or dips or for cooking veggies. Additionally the low and wide profile combine to facilitate evaporation, an essential aspect of reduction sauces.
Amazon.com Review:
Perfect for reducing sauces or cooking vegetables on the stovetop and for braising meat in the oven, this shallow, 2-1/2-quart saucepan is coated with nonstick inside to release food readily and clean easily. The nonstick is durable enough to go safely into the oven at temperatures up to 450 degrees F. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum with a matte finish, the pan conducts heat uniformly and quickly. Because the aluminum is anodized it's harder than steel and the pan won't scratch, chip, or crack. The oval, brushed stainless-steel handle stays cool on the stovetop and has a hanging hole for the pan to be stored on hook or peg. The domed glass lid collects and returns moisture to food and permits monitoring of cooking without reducing the temperature inside the pan. Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects.

- Non Stick scratched
Enjoyed this sauce pan. The build quality is high, the glass lid is nice to be able to check boiling levels without opening the lid. I wish this was just hard anodized without the non stick interior. Very careful with my cookware, but the inside has been scratched.

- Buying a Second One!
Such an amazing product for such a reasonable price!I just put a second one in my cart because the first is always in use.
I use this at least once a day, and it performs flawlessly for every task.Rice, potatoes, sauces, veggies, soup reheats, etc. - versatile, good heat conduction, super easy cleanup.Especially like the glass lid; looks clean and streamlined, and easy to check rice without peeking.
Only word of caution:The handle on the pot stays cool, but the handle ... Read More

- Warped and Warped again
Out of the box the pan I had warped after the first use.If you have a glass top, or otherwise completely flat cooktop stay away from this pan.
I contacted Calphalon and was sent a replacement which took approx 2 months. When I received the replacement I put approx. 2 cups of water in it and began to heat it on medium high heat and had the same result. It had a terribly warped bottom and is what I would consider to be unusable
I do have other pieces of cookware from them that ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful pot
I love this pot.I cook rice in it often - and sauces.It even goes in the oven! (think it's up to 350 or maybe 400 degrees)
I've had it several years - use it at least once a week - and just love it!It's easy to clean, things don't stick, it's heavy and sturdy and the Calphalon warranty and customer service are AWESOME (I had 2 Calphalon skillets I recently had to return due to the coating coming off and they were quickly replaced by new ones, no questions asked)
Rating: - The perfect saucepan!!!
I normally don't write reviews but I had to look up this purchase a year later and made sure to give this 2 huge thumbs up!!!! As a chef this is my new favorite pan. I use it for everything! The construction is of high caliber material. It's heavy, the heating is even, firm handle, and the lid fits perfectly. The glass allows me to see when it's exactly done w/o opening the lid.
What makes this so great is the nonstick quality is the best I've seen in a long time. As long as you don't use abrasive ... Read More
