Kitchen & Housewares : Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 8-Quart Stockpot with Glass Lid |
- First month great, then it stains and burns easily, thick soups do not fare wellThis pan is good for thin stocks but not other purposes. I was wowed at first. I followed manufacturer directions but apparently what ever gloss like coating they put on it wears off and then it starts burning and staining fairly easily. Still good, but not as good as I would have hoped for the price. I do a lot of browning and soups that simmer on low. Simmering beans and thick soups is not a good idea with this pan. Stocks and thin liquids do fine.

- My New Favorite PotI bought two smaller Calphalon saucepans and loved them so much I couldn't wait to get this one. It replaces a non-stick stock pot and I couldn't be happier with it. It heats well and cooks evenly and is so pretty. I will eventually replace all my non-stick with Calphalon Tri-Ply. I know you could spend more money than this on cookware, but for me, the gumbo won't taste any better!

- Great Pot, Great BuyCalphalon is always a good product, a little spendy, but a good buy. We PAID over $100 for their Wok over 25 years ago and still use it all the time and love it; great product. We had never used their stainless steel line of products; however, we were in the market for a new stockpot and the price and quality on this one was just too good to pass up. This was a great buy on a great pot. The Tri-Ply construction is wonderful, as you get great heat distribution and can greatly reduce the temperature settings on your stove. Starting your dish on the stove-top and finishing it in the oven can be accomplished with great ease with this pot; I give it the highest marks! Ours was shipped from Macy's and both shipping and delivery were very satisfactory.

- WonderfulI bought this on a recommendation from my Mother. Our family has been in the restaraunt business for years. I use it to make big pots of soup. It's terrific. It's sturdy and yet not too heavy. The glass lid is great, I never have to lift the lid to check for simmering. The handles are very secure. They do get warm after you've had something cooking for a while. Use potholders if you pick up the pot from the stove. It's easy to clean. It has a very pretty mirror shine to it, so much so that I leave it on my stove all the time. You can't really see that in the picture. So far I can't voice a single complaint about it. For the pricetag, it's a really good deal. I'll have it for many, many years.

- Great for stock and long simmeringThis stock pot is great for simmering stock, soups, etc. I also have a very expensive "Lifetime" stock pot and this one works just as well. Definitely a great bargain for the money.
