Calphalon Kitchen

This cookware is the best I love it, and the price of this 5 Qt pan was such an amazing deal. I have gotten away from non-stick cookware and have only been using Calphalon Stainless Steel. It has 3 ply core through out the entire pan (not only on the bottom as some pans have) which allows it to heat evenly all the way up sides. The reason for not using non-stick pans is that the chemical it disperses can be fatal to my birds.

I first thought that with stainless steel my food would stick to the bottom of the pan but I was wrong they are beautiful and clean up nicely. I have been using these pans for about 10 years and I don't have any complaints. All I do is heat the pan for a couple minutes on low heat and then add a touch of oil and put in the food at medium/low you don't need high heat with these pans.

When I finish cooking I don't leave it on the hot burner, I move it to a different burner or if the pan is empty I put it on a dry towel on my counter and let it cool before washing it. If you put it directly in water from a hot burner your pan may warp from the drastic change in temperature. If you get any stains in it which can happen with heat all you need is a cleaner called "Bar Keepers Friend" which I use on the inside and bottom only and it will keep your pans looking like new, that is the only cleaner I have used in all the time I've had stainless steel cookware.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel 5-Quart Sauteuse Overview

Contemporary Stainless is for home chefs who place as much importance on cookware style as they do on performance. The sleek, modern vessels in this line have curvaceous and smooth flared tulip shapes that create a stunning presence while heating on a stovetop or hanging from a pot rack. The brushed steel exteriors are a beautiful complement to professional stainless-steel appliances and are less likely to show baked-on grease or wear than a polished finish can. Gracefully curved stainless-steel handles are comfortable to clutch and are forked in a half-moon shape at the riveted base to prevent heat from transferring down the shaft. Glass covers are convenient for watching food cook and have curved handles plus wide-banded stainless-steel rims for durability.

Heating in this 5-quart sauteuse, which measures 12-3/7 by 16 by 3-3/8 inches high or 6 inches high with the cover in place, is sure to satisfy the performance requirements of discerning cooks. The pan boasts triple-layer construction with stainless-steel exteriors bonded over a full aluminum core that extends up the sides as well as through the bottom. Aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, providing consistent cooking of pasta dishes, risotto, and casseroles. The stainless-steel pan is safe in the oven and can withstand broiler temperatures as well as the use of metal utensils. However, the lid is oven-safe only to 450 degrees F. All Contemporary Stainless is dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup and covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
