I recently left an empty 5 qt. Calphalon saucepan on a burner, and ruined it. I searched and searched, but couldn't find a 5 qt. replacement anywhere (I had purchased it many years ago).
So instead I purchased this 4 qt. saucepan as a replacement, keeping my fingers crossed that it would do the job I needed it to do. Surprisingly, the Calphalon steamer insert that fits the 5 qt. also fits perfectly in this one. The Cuisinart lid also fits perfectly on the Calphalon steamer insert. They even look like a matched set, you wouldn't even know that they were two different brands.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this pan. It has all of the things I love about my All-Clad LTD, and some additional features that make it maybe even superior to All-Clad (? time will tell). It looks like All-Clad, seems as well made as far as handle rivets etc., is much lighter (which I find appealing, the older I get), and has a well-designed ergonomic handle that stays cool. Heat distribution is excellent, just like All-Clad. Unlike my All-Clad, the handle on the cover also stays cool, and the Cuisinart is dishwasher safe. Clean-up is a breeze too. Just for kicks, I left food in it overnight to harden on. The next morning, I filled it with soapy warm water and let it sit for a while. Soon, the formerly hardened and stuck-on food wiped right off with a soapy sponge. I noticed after the pan was washed that the inside bottom had some rainbows, but I spray some Pam in it and wiped it with a paper towel, and it is shiny and clear again.
I've decided to order a whole bunch of these as a New Year's treat and belated Christmas present to myself. Some of my other Calphalons have seen better days, and I've never really been happy with Calphalon's performance anyway. I expected more for the price they charge. This line will give me a fresh boost in the kitchen for a very reasonable price.
Oh, I should mention that I also really like how you can loop the cover's handle over the pan's handle, and leave them together to hang them on your pot rack. I can't do this with any of my other pans, I have to keep the covers separate in the cabinet. It'll be really handy to have the corresponding cover with the pot, when I'm doing things in a hurry in the kitchen. I may start to enjoy cooking again!

I got this to compliment my 12 piece set. All of the unlimited pieces are wonderful. Great weight, wonderful heat distribution and easy (dishwasher) cleanup. I recommend using a bit of non-stick spray or olive oil but if you don't, and food sticks, it still comes off easily if you let a little soapy water sit in it.Best Deals for Cuisinart MultiClad Unlimited Dishwasher-Safe Saucepan with Cover
This pan replaces an older Cuisinart pan of the same size, that had a disk bottom and non-clad sides. The multiclad heats more evenly and sticks less. Part of this may be due to edges that are slightly more rounded than the old pan. It does not require much gas to keep things boiling. The handle is comfortable (unlike the ridiculous All-Clad handles), and neither the handle nor the lid gets too hot to hold. The lip makes for a dripless pour. It cleans very easily, and I am very pleased.Honest reviews on Cuisinart MultiClad Unlimited Dishwasher-Safe Saucepan with Cover
Really needed a replacement 4 quart saucepan wanted quality and a pan that could be cleaned in the dishwasher, didn't cost a fortune and did not have any interior coating that would scratch as mashing potatoes over the years had trashed my old Millenium Farberware saucepan. This fit the bill perfectly and works great...keep the flameunder the saucepan low as it distributes heat well.
