 Unbelievable price for a great pot!Nov 11, 2005
By Ghislaine Schwartz
First of all, in case you're concerned, let me say that the quality of Calphalon's stainless cookware has greatly improved as they have recently made the switch from not-so-good impact-bonded stainless bottom (Simply Stainless) to a tri-ply construction that's on par with All-Clad.
As a result, this pan offers very good heat retention and distribution (i.e. no hot spots), and clean-up is a breeze. Since I got this pan, I have been using it for every thing from small batches of soup, cheese sauce for mac'n'cheese, spinach filling for spanakopita... And with that rounded bottom, I cannot wait to make risotto!
Also, the glass lid fits very nicely and makes it easy to watch what's going on inside your pan.
This is not just a great value for the price -it's a great pan, which just happens to have an unbeatable price.

Great Price, Great Piece! Worthy Purchase!Jun 12, 2005
By Pasha Supreme
This item is a great starter to the Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel cookware line. It's a solid product that looks great and functions as it's pricier siblings. Cooking with this has been a pleasure and don't be surprised if you end up buying the rest of the cookware in the series. I should not that the pot gets hot very fast and the handle can be hot but is rather cool towards the end.
If you have a hanging pot-rack, then this would make you very happy.
One last thing, if you were wodering why the item is so cheap, well, it's meant to hook you into buying more... It has the same build quality as the rest of the cookware in the line.

 Great Pot - Tough to CleanJun 22, 2006
By Erika M.
I've had this pot for about a month now, and use it often. The handle on the pot stays cool, it's a great size, the shape is perfect for stirring, the see-through lid is wonderful, and the price is excellent. My only complaint is that it's been hell to clean. I don't have a dishwasher, so I scrub (and scrub and scrub) by hand, but there always seems to be a thin film of whatever food I was cooking stuck to the bottom (even with overnight soaking), and the inside becomes weirdly discolored even after I clean it, from doing non-messy things like boiling pasta. Bar Keeper's Friend helps a bit, but this pot literally takes me 15 minutes to even get it passably clean (forget new-looking/shiny).

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 2 Quart Chef's PanOct 18, 2006
By Louis
This pan caught my eye because it's so attractive and it had a great price. The glass lid is a plus, too. It's wondeful, I used it to cook rice the first time I used it and the water boiled so quickly, a fraction of the time it takes with the other pans we have. Cleaning the pan was very simple, didn't have the use an SOS. The only complaint I have is that the bottom was already discolored after one use with a blue-green pattern.

 doing alrightJun 26, 2010
By Glaublich
It's a well built piece of cookware, and performs better than regular stainless steel. Not sure I like the shape of the bowl though - a little too rounded for me. Others liked it more for that very same reason though, so...
This stainless steel surface stains rather easily compared to some other stainless steel cookware I own, but I'm not gonna sweat it, because I wash and dry as soon as I'm done cooking, and know it's clean and well kept. And the stains aren't really a big deal, but it still detracts for the sake of writing a review and all.
