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

Shallow saucepan.:
Great little pan if you want to work on your portion sizes....ideal for small family meals.

Nice addition:
This is a nice, useful size and shape for general use. Today's Calphalon isn't as quality-insistent as it was two decades ago, and that's evident in this pot's weight and craftmanship. It's still a good one, though, and valuable for everyday use.

Great Value:
I purchased two saucepans for Christmas gifts and after receiving them and seeing the quality, I ordered more for additional gifts. Great value and quality!

Excellent Value!:
I bought two and gave them for presents at Christmas. They are a excellent value and a much appreciated gift!

2 1/2 Quart Calphalon Pot:
This is the BEST cooking item I have ever bought for my kitchen. I use it for cooking rice and anything that I feel like using it for. The food never sticks, especially the rice, and it is so easy to clean! Worth every penny.
