Kitchen & Housewares : Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid

Rating: - Great, till the coating lasts
I purchased the pan back in 2006 and it was wonderful, better than just anything Walmart carry; for the records Walmart was the course of my cookware (or whatever you call them) back in grad school's salary. Unlike most pan, the sheet of metal is thick and by soem magic heats up really fast. Now after carful using (alwasy wooden spatulla and hand wash) teh coating started to peel of soem tiem middle of 2007 and the process is still on. Now, it sticks up everything, only thing I can really cook is sause; I used to saute my food a lot and now I can do so only if I use a different pan. Overal, not worth the extra $; I think a more resonable way to get nonstick is hard anodized stuff.

Rating: - Another great calphalon product
Purchased this to replace another pan that was ruined by our cook top. I like Calphalon because it heats very evenly and cooks great at low heat settings. Easy to clean. Will buy more pieces when my current Calphalon pieces wear out - they're currently 14 years old and still going strong.

Rating: - Great pot for everyday use
This pot is great for those of us who don't cook and don't want a full set of pots. Rice, frying onions, and scrambled eggs were never easier or turned out better. It cleans up in seconds so it can be used for the next dish. Great gift for those just starting out. Just wish Amazon would bring back the $29 price it was listed at prior to 12/07.

Rating: - Very well done sauce pan
Nice finishing, well balanced, very good lid, it does not stick.
maybe the outside metal finishing scratches a bit too easily, but not big deal.

Rating: - Nice Sausepan
This is great for sauses and general cooking. The handle is rather long so you need plenty of cabinet space to store it.
