Classic Stainless Steel Sauce Pan, 3.5-Quart, Impact-Bonded Aluminum Base, Stay-Cool Handles

We recently added this saucepan to our complete Calphalon collection, and it fits seamlessly with the rest of our cookware. The design is consistent in style, featuring matching handles and a lid that complements the entire set beautifully. Overall, we are really impressed with the quality of construction and its performance in the kitchen. It heats evenly and cooks food efficiently, making meal preparation a breeze! **Pros:** - Matches perfectly with our existing Calphalon set - High-quality construction - Cooks food evenly and efficiently - Attractive design **Cons:** - None that we have encountered If you're looking to complete your Calphalon collection or just need a reliable saucepan, this is an excellent choice!

Great quality, good size for me (3.5-quart), pretty thick. Heat distribution is even. The price and quality were great!!

The steel works from Calphalon are impressive for the money and this pot is no exception to that rule. Fine construction with a well fitting lid with drain holes that are perfect for pasta. I’ve watched several things from this company in the past and have never been disappointed. Pick one up if you need it.

I've been using the Calphalon Classic 3.5 Quart Saucepan for six months now, and it has quickly become an essential tool in our kitchen. Even my husband, who typically doesn't pay much attention to our kitchenware, has been singing its praises. Despite being used several times a week, it shows no sign of wear. The design is robust, and the handle remains cool even when the pan is in use, ensuring safe handling. But where this pan truly shines is in the convenience it offers. The straining lid and pour spout are game-changers, making it easy to drain liquids without needing a separate colander. The measuring marks on the inside of the pan simplify recipe follow-ups and the tempered glass lid is a great feature that allows you to see inside the pan without lifting the lid, making things even easier and more efficient. Another major advantage of this saucepan is its versatility. It's oven-safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, making it easy to transition from the stovetop to the oven. Plus, it's compatible with various stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and glass. We were so impressed by this pan that I gifted it to my best friend as a housewarming present. She used it for the first time recently and was equally impressed by its performance. I have no doubt that this will be our go-to pan for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend this pan to anyone who appreciates quality, convenience, and efficiency in their cooking routine.

We purchased this for certain dishes that required draining, since it has a small spout for that purpose. Although slightly heavier than expected, we still use it frequently with great success. It's also easy to clean.

absolutely love this. It’s sturdy, easy to cook with, and easy to clean! It didn’t take too long to heat up and the handle didn’t get hot while cooking.

Very nice product. Prompt delivery.

I want to start upgrading and buying more stainless steel. I will purchase 1 every other month. I did lots of research on brands this came up. I want start purchasing al clad . I was glad measurements were inside of pot. Yes so much easier to clean. But after watching tutorials, I was doing things wrong in the past. Head the pan over stove for a minute or 2, then put oil in so it sizzles for a few minutes, also best if meat is not so cold when placing in pan. Then place eggs, meat or whatever you are cooking in. I was always in such a hurry to cook. I never let pan heat up, would throw oil in and then my meat. The oil would just absorb in the meat, gross, and my pans were a nightmare to clean. Now it's so much slicker!

This pan is heavy, great quality.. it holds more than you think..

Excellent pot, great quality and love the draining ridge on the lid

I first only boiled water in it for the first 10 uses to try it on the portable induction and it worked fine. Boiled green beans pot bottom turned a rainbow of colors that do not wash out and looks like some corrosion in three spots all though tiny. The pot is thin on the sides and you almost could cut yourself on the lip it is than thin. This pot would not stand up to much banging around. If you want to only boil water in it it is fine and the lid is good. I would not buy another Calphalon pot again. Similar reviews were posted before I bought but I thought it can't be that bad but it is low quality for the cost of it.
