Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole with Lid
Customer Review: Quality Has Taken a Dive
Summary: 1 Stars
I currently own about 7 pieces of Calphalon cookware. I have been very pleased with the quality, and I try to pick up additional ones whenever I can. I was happy when I saw an Amazon offer for a Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole with Lid set for $60, down from $190. The few customer reviews were mostly favorable so I ordered one.
I did note some issues people were having with the Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 12-Quart Stockpot with Lid. To summarize it was noted that the pot was not made in America, was flimsy and thin in construction, and the finish quality was substandard. Being that I had already ordered, I waited to see what would arrive.
I opened the Amazon box and took out the plain white box whose only markings were "Made in China." Nowhere did it even say Calphalon, so this was an object never intended for normal retail sale (at a Macy's etc.). The pot was indeed flimsy with comically puny handles. I scratched at the surface with my fingernail and appeared to slightly mar the surface. I then walked to my computer, clicked return, and printed out the return authorization.
I think what disturbs me the most is if Calphalon is calling this piece of junk commercial quality, how can I possibly order one of their products unless I can physically touch it before I commit? Claiming a 68% savings on the price of this pot is ludicrous. This is more like one of those infomercials that packages 50 cents worth of plastic and says it's a $20 value. This flimsy pot would be expensive at $20. Calphalon may very well have lost me as a customer.
I grabbed my caliper and took a couple of quick measurements of the thickness of several of my Calphalon pieces.
My truly professional fry pan: 0.19" (4.8mm)
Calphalon Contemporary pan: 0.179" (4.4mm)
Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole: 0.10" (2.5mm)
Description of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 7-Quart Chef's Casserole with Lid
Use it on top of the stove to braise and sear, and it can be covered and used like a Dutch Oven to complete the cooking process by baking in the oven. Made of a heavy-gauge aluminum that distributes heat evenly and eliminates hot spots as you cook. Safe for use in the oven and under the broiler. Hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to food. Balanced handles make even full pans easy to manage and carry.Casseroles
