Customer Review: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 5-Quart Saucier
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this Calphalon 5-Quart saucier several months ago from Amazon at full price. I have been using Calphalon cookwares for the past 10 years. This is a great addition to my Calphalon collection. I have been noticing in recent years, Calphalon cookwares sold by Amazon come in a plain white generic box, which is disappointing, especially for gift giving, I enjoy the printed Calphalon retail box. To my surprise, this saucier comes in a nice multi-colored printed Calphalon retail box, just like the high quality Calphalon you got a few years ago. Currently, there is no image showing. The saucier comes with a sliver-tone lid, not the glass lid. It has two stainless loop handles. If you really want to know what the pot looks like, the saucier looks a lot like the Simply Calphalon Nonstick 5-Quart Chili Pot. The quality of the saucier is consistant with the high quality Calphalon commercial nonstick line of products. I have been using the dish washer for this pot for several months, so far I have not seen any issue with the coating. I love this saucier. The quality is much better than the Anolon 5-quart saucier. It makes a good gift too (with the beautiful box).Customer Review: Great Calphalon Pot!

I purchased this pot to replace my 5-qt Farberware nonstick pot. The pot is wide open with the straigt wall which is taller than the casserol but lower than stockpot. I use this kind of pot to make Chinese noodle soup. With this pot, I just made a pot of Chinese noodle soup by browned diced green onions and shreds of pork, dried remoistured mushroom, carrots, and add any kind of broth to made soup. Once the soup boiled, add cooked noodle into the soup adding pepper, salt, and Hondashi (Japanese fish seasoning), and da-la! Chinese noodle soup is done! Great pot for one-pot dish! I was hesitated before ordering this pot, thank to Cindy for the information on this Calphalon pot. It did come in original Calphalon printed retail box, but NOT the generic white box! This is what I am looking for! The most important thing is that my pot is made in Toledo, Ohio, USA, but NOT China. I am a very happy cook!~ :)Customer Review: A kitchen work horse

I end up reaching this pot all the time. I use it for everything from boiling pasta and simmering soups and stews to making pilaf and risotto. And at this price, you can afford two.
Unlike most Teflon pans, this can be heated to a high enough temperature to properly brown food while the heavy gage anodized aluminum also handles low temperature, slow cooking. I do use a pizza stone in my oven to regulate the temperature and that also helps with slow cooking.
It is not dishwasher safe, but its so easy to clean it hardly matters. Not even burnt caramel sticks to the interior and regular dish soap is fine for the exterior.
I do recommend you invest in nonstick safe utensils. There is silicone and nylon tools, which are nice but can b e a bit pricey. However, wood or bamboo are just fine, very inexpensive, and can last for decades.
Customer Review: very versatile piece of cookware

COOKS ILLUSTRATED ran an article a couple of years ago that claimed that with most home kitchens, a frying pan or skillet was better at stir fry dishes than a wok. Be that as it may, i find that this CALPHALON saucier works better than the skillet for stir frying. i find that the anodized aluminum heats up quickly and high sides of the saucier keep the ingredients from flying all over the stovetop from vigorous stirring. it is great at carmelizing ingredients before making them into a soup. it is also the perfect size for oven braising a whole 7 bone chuck roast or whole pork loin roast. So whether it is stir frying a quick chinese meal, simmering a vegetable soup, slow cooking a pot of chili, making enough spaghetti sauce for weeks to come, or preparing a pot roast, this one pot can do it all, and in great style ... and the non-stick is a snap to clean!Customer Review: This the absolutely LAST POT! I swear.... ;0))

I didn't think I could possibly find another Calphalon pan I couldn't resist, but alas, I caught a one day sale, and simply HAD to have this one...
How fitting it arrived on Valentine's day, cause I think I am in love... This saucier is of the typical heavy excellent quality as my others, AND it will fit in my counter top oven (WalMart GE curved glass door model). It is even stamped Toledo.... This will be the perfect "start on the stove and finish in the small oven" pot...
If you need a size reference, it is the same diameter as the 10" everyday pan and skillet - which means your Calphalon Contemporary glass lids will fit... I find that a major bonus for stove top cooking...
Thanks, Amazon! Once again......

PK thinking it's pot roast time!
