Product Description: With stovetop to oven capabilities the sky's the limit as to what you could cook up in Calphalon. Stews, soups and hearty casseroles will benefit from hard anodized aluminum's famous even heating properties. And no matter how messy the cooking gets, clean up is not a problem.
Amazon.com Review: Also known as a Dutch oven, this big 7-quart pan goes on the stovetop or in the oven (to 450 degrees F) to braise meats, poultry, fish, or vegetables or to cook any casserole dish, such as macaroni-and-cheese or cassoulet. It can also be used for soups and sauces. Its domed stainless-steel lid collects moisture and returns it to foods during cooking. Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick cookware is coated with an especially durable, multilayered nonstick material. (For long life, use only plastic, nylon, and wooden utensils.) The pan's matte-finish exterior is anodized for hardness and won't chip, crack, or peel. Polished handles of cast stainless steel are multiriveted for durability and resist heating on a stovetop. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

The Calphalon Commercial (not Professional) Nonstick pots and pans are wonderful. Their exteriors are a heavyweight anodized aluminum, and their interiors have a durable nonstick coating. The 7-quart casserole pan with lid is an essential addition to a Calphalon starter set because it is so versatile. You can use it to cook large recipes of homemade soups, stews, and casseroles. These pots can go from stovetop to table to refrigerator to freezer (although I rarely use them for freezer storage--I prefer plastic containers or ziplock bags.) I find they work well on both electric and gas ranges, too. ... Read More
