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.

I’m giving mine away without ever using it. It is an odd shape and seems unbalanced. I think a standard saucier will work better for me.

Pours exceptionally badly – makes messes all the time. Metal is thin and light. Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.

First, the product is Calphalon, so you know it’s going to wear very well. But …
The shallow design is a loser for most purposes, and in fact its width and the lengthe of its handle make it difficult to clean in my evenly divided sink (key for living, NEVER install a standard sized sink divided exactly in half). Furthermore, the handle is very awkardly placed. I’m no weakling, but even with the saucepan empty, it is uncomfortable to hold. This could have been made easier with a secondary handle on the opposite side.
Therefore, unless you really need this exact diameter, I strongly recommend getting a less-wide, deeper saucepan, with a straight not curved handle.

Rating: 4 / 5
I purchased the pan back in 2006 and it was wonderful, better than just anything Walmart carry; for the records Walmart was the course of my cookware (or whatever you call them) back in grad school’s salary. Unlike most pan, the sheet of metal is thick and by soem magic heats up really fast. Now after carful using (alwasy wooden spatulla and hand wash) teh coating started to peel of soem tiem middle of 2007 and the process is still on. Now, it sticks up everything, only thing I can really cook is sause; I used to saute my food a lot and now I can do so only if I use a different pan. Overal, not worth the extra $; I think a more resonable way to get nonstick is hard anodized stuff.
