Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8.5 Quart Dutch Oven

Customer Review: Beautiful dutch oven does the trick
Summary: 4 Stars

Well, I've been wanting a dutch oven for many years, and I finally got this one as a gift. It's huge (8.5 quarts) and substantial, but not so heavy that it's hard to manage when filled (a challenge you will find with the traditional cast-iron dutch oven, especially one of this size). The non-stick surface works great - just remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions and avoid using non-stick sprays, which can be hard to remove and possibly damaging. Instead, rub some vegetable oil around the surface with a paper towel. Works just fine.

So far I have made a moussaka in this pan (I didn't have a baking dish large enough for the recipe), which was a great success, and last night I made a french onion soup that was fantastic - my family couldn't stop raving about the flavor of the soup! The only challenge is that with a french onion soup you are looking for a "fond" to develop as the onions cook (for a deep, caramelized flavor), which isn't really that easy to do with a non-stick surface. Still it worked out, and clean-up took no time at all. I don't think this would fit in my dishwasher, but I don't generally put large pots in there anyway.

Unlike cast iron dutch ovens, this one features a glass lid, which made checking on my roasting onions much easier.

I would highly recommend this dutch oven if you want a pot that goes from stove to oven, will accommodate large quantities of food, and provides the ease of a non-stick surface.
