Features

  • Heavy-gauge aluminum construction ensures even heating and is hard-anodized for durability. It also makes it dishwasher-safe.
  • Interior includes three layers of nonstick coating two layers provide durability and the third layer offers easy release performance.
  • The long, brushed stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop. Pans and covers are also oven safe, making it ideal for finishing a gourmet dish.
  • The rich, elegant exterior color is not a surface coating, but is a result of a change the aluminum undergoes during hard-anodization, for a fully-infused, dishwasher safe color that wont chip, crack or peel.
  • The nonstick surface means you can cook healthier using less fat, with effortless cleanup. Comes with Calphalon's full lifetime warranty.

  • Culinary Excellence Personified - Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Sauce Pot
Size: 5-quart
The Calphalon Contemporary Hard-Anodized Aluminum Nonstick Sauce Pot in the 5-quart size is an absolute game-changer in my kitchen. This piece of cookware has become an essential tool that effortlessly combines exceptional performance with sleek design. From the moment I unwrapped the package, I was impressed by the attention to detail in the craftsmanship. The hard-anodized aluminum construction feels substantial yet remarkably lightweight, making it a joy to handle even when filled to its 5-quart capacity. The sleek black exterior gives it a modern and professional appearance that complements any kitchen decor. What truly sets this sauce pot apart is its nonstick prowess. Cooking delicate sauces, simmering stews, or whipping up a batch of risotto has become an absolute delight. The nonstick interior works like magic, ensuring that nothing sticks to the bottom while also making clean-up a breeze. Even after multiple uses, the nonstick coating remains resilient, maintaining its effectiveness and longevity. The even heat distribution of the hard-anodized aluminum is a standout feature. Whether I'm searing, sautéing, or slow-cooking, I can trust that the pot will heat evenly across its surface, preventing hot spots and allowing for consistent cooking results every time. The snug-fitting lid locks in moisture and flavors, enhancing the overall cooking experience. The ergonomic handle design is another thoughtful touch. It stays cool on the stovetop, even when cooking at high temperatures, which adds to the overall safety and convenience of using this sauce pot. The handle's comfortable grip ensures confident maneuvering, whether I'm pouring, stirring, or transferring the pot. I appreciate the versatility of the 5-quart size. It's spacious enough to accommodate larger batches of food, making it perfect for entertaining or meal prepping. However, it's also well-suited for smaller portions, ensuring that I can use it for a wide range of culinary endeavors without needing multiple pots. In terms of durability, the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Sauce Pot has exceeded my expectations. It has withstood regular use, including high-heat cooking and frequent cleaning, without showing signs of wear or compromising its performance. To sum it up, the Calphalon Contemporary Hard-Anodized Aluminum Nonstick Sauce Pot in the 5-quart size is a kitchen essential that redefines what quality cookware should be. Its nonstick capabilities, even heat distribution, and thoughtful design make it a joy to use, while its durability ensures that it will remain a staple in my kitchen for years to come. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook who appreciates excellence, this sauce pot deserves a spot in your culinary arsenal. ... show more

  • Bought as a gift
Size: 8.5-quart
I bought this as a gift, so I myself cannot say whether it was great or not. But, seeing it was requested as a gift. I think the couple who wanted it would give it a good recommendation.

  • Worth the $
Size: 5-quart
This is a nice line of quality cookware. It’s made well. It will dent if you drop it from the countertop. It will scratch, so only use plastic or wood utensils and can only be hand washed. It’s kind of a less expensive version of cast iron and not so heavy.

  • Ashy??
Size: 5-quart
For some reason, the outer coating is getting ashy and like the texture of it being sanded down.. great pot but for the cost idk why it’s acting up

  • My Favorite
Size: 8.5-quart
The best pan for cooking. This is my second one. The first lasted me 7 years. I use it to cook sauces, meat and more. Love it so much.

  • Haven't been able to keep one.....
Size: 5-quart
I've ordered this twice, from 2 different sellers, and I give up! Every time, the lid is dinged/scratched a lot and the inside bottom of the pot has weird areas that you just know are going to be a problem with the longevity of the non-stick. I know these are discontinued and I think that what I am ordering is either seconds or ones picked up at TJ Maxx or someplace that didn't sell other places. I also do NOT like how Calphalon sells some of their cookware not in a box. Makes for tough shipping! I read a comment that someone called Calphalon and they said they do not sell anything not in a box and that is just not true. You can go to Target at any time and buy their Select by Calphalon 5 qt and it is not in a box. I am going to try Tri Ply Clad Stainless and maybe keep the Select by Calphalon, which isn't as thick and heavy as this Contemporary, but I'll have options. They also need to stop making so many pieces of cookware that have that induction base! Can scratch glass tops and not that many people have induction at this point! It's been a challenge to find a simple 5 qt pot with lid, which is why I had hoped this one would work. ... show more
