Tri-Ply cookware is completely dishwasher safe! Manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review: With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots' and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The durable, 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. This 2-1/2-quart, straight-sided saucepan has a domed glass lid so cooking can be monitored without releasing heat. The lid is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, ensuring the pan not only can be used atop the stove for sauces but can go into the oven for keeping food warm. The handle stays cool on the stovetop, and the pan's rim is flared to facilitate dripless pouring.
Tri-Ply cookware is polished to a mirror finish outside for beauty and wears a satin finish inside to conceal inevitable utensil marks. It goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing is preferred to preserve the mirror finish. It also carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Rating: - solid, but not too versatile
great pot with solid construction that also looks very good. only con is that it's a bit heavy to work with, but that's not uncommon for a well-built stainless steel pot. It's also a bit small to be used other than making sauce; say if you want to use it to make some soup, it will just make enough for 2 to 3 people.
Rating: - Excellent everyday pan!
This pan along with several others I have acquired from the Calphalon Tri-Ply line is fantastic. Great weight and balance, superb craftsmanship, the glass lids fit snugly and most important of all, the pricing is terrific. I have All-Clad and yes, it is wonderful but quite frankly I find myself asking why spend more when you can get equal quality for quite a bit less. And it is still made in U.S.A.!
Rating: - Great saucepan
This saucepan is a convenient size. It heats up well and maintains the heat. The glass dome lids are great. Very sturdy and seems like it will last a lifetime. The clean up is also VERY easy. Stuck on food and sauces come off easily with a little soaking and if that doesn't work the cleaning pad and Bon Ami cleanser finishes it off with little effort. A great investment.
