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 sou 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 m oisture 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.

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

 bad handle design September 23, 2008
Sharon Tschasar (California)
First of all, I LOVE, LOVE this pan. Food does not stick and it has a good seal. The only thing I do NOT like about it is the handle. It's edges are not rounded enough and it is too slim to get a good hold on.
The handle should be a little shorter and fatter. But I still would not trade it for anything else. I am going to buy a silicone sleeve for it for it to be easier to handle.

The pan is great. It arrived at my home in time and I am happy with the purchase! Thank you!
Sturdy Pot September 11, 2008
Paul T. Fleurdelys (Seattle, WA USA)
For 30 dollars I am very pleased with this purchase. As have been mentioned, it is a little low in height, but its volume is it's volume and it can be deceptive. But the quality of the pot is wonderful. It's heavy, and it's aluminum which Alton Brown tells me is not as good as copper but better than stainless steel. After a couple days of cooking with it I've found it really absorbs heat and seems to get hotter and maintain heat better than either of my other pots. The riveting is strong, and handle is all metal allowing it go into the oven or under the broiler at 500f.
Great value, good looks August 19, 2008
it's Bob (San Francisco, CA)
I buy my cookware individually so I have different types like tri-ply stainless steel, nonstick, and hard anodized from various brands. Each has its pros and cons. I've had this pan for several months now and what I like about it is it feels solid and heavy duty. It is in fact heavy so it may be unwieldy for some but its heft gives me a sense of quality. I also think it's a pretty nice looking piece. I'm happy with my purchase.
It's a nice pan... August 13, 2008
C. Flowers (Louisiana)
Although I've had this pan for a few years, I don't use it that often. I have several other pans of the same capacity but for those times when I need a wide mouth pan, this one can't be beat. I also love the heft of this pan. It's not too heavy but it has a good weight.
