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

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.

Calphalon - lives up to their reputation

This 3.5 qt replaces a 2.0 qt Calphalon Classic saucepan that I destroyed by burning baked beans into a solid black lava-like mass which was impossible to clean or remove. These Calphalon Classic Stainless Steel saucepans are wonderful! They are heavy-duty, look beautiful and are easy to clean or place in the dishwasher. I’m sure one of my kids or grandkids will be using this piece for many years long after I’m gone.

I like the feel of the pot. It has a nice weight to it and perfect for Rice, boiling eggs, small things. I will be looking to get another stainless steel pot soon. Great quality.

Good size, my metal steamer fits in there good, I know the lid handle is metal, aka HOT duh. but I finally found a use for the pinchy silicone pot holders? they're for lids, ( PC purchase) I love this pan, , more taller than wide, which is nice for the steamer I had, and if you're boing with need to strain, the lid is great, watch out for that vent hole and the slotted side. The lid is heavier than you'd expect, I only mention the weight, because, picking up the pan with the lid, is heavier than what you'd expect.. ( being older, I don't pick the pans up as quick as I used to)

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.

I purchased this pan to make steel cut oats because there is a point in the cooking that the oats always want to boil over (despite the fact that I’m standing there stirring). I was trying to avoid that happening, although I really questioned spending this much on a pan for that purpose. (I do love my Calphalon!) Turns out it was worth it! It’s become my go-to pan. Who knew? This is a fabulous size, quality, and cleans up easily. I bought this refurbished. It arrived in perfect condition. I’m very happy with my purchase!

the best from Calphalon!!
