Ahh, what a pleasure to use this pot. Easy to cook with, great for sauce reductions, works great for ethnic foods, easy to stir, easy to carry, great size on the stove top,easy to clean, feels much lighter than the traditional all hard anodized pots .....and so attractive.

If I were to own only one pot, this contempo. 5 qt. quart pot would be it! This is Calphalon at their best.

Hopefully they will come out with a 10-16 quart. version of this pot.

This is a very nice pot. However, please be informed that the handles on this pot do get hot, as does the lid handle. I have the Calphalon Contemporary 2.5 qt. shallow saucepan with the long handle, and I have not noticed this problem with the longer handle.

I have had this for some time, and it is a tank. The reviewer below was right when he said that if you only own one pot, make this it. Sauces, stews, chili, jambalaya, roux-based dishes. This can handle it. I've used it to boil pasta, in a pinch. It is also great in the oven. It is a champ at braising. At 200 degrees in the oven, sealed, it does the work of a crock-pot -maybe better, because the oven heat carmelizes the food. I am so glad I own one!

Honest reviews on Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 5 Qt. Saucier

I am not a cook, don't enjoy cooking, but I love this pot! It cooks very well, it's great for making soups and casseroles. It cleans very easily. Things I make that I used to use a skillet, then another pot or pan, I can do it all here! It's a perfect size. I looked for a long time for a pot this size, received this as a gift, and I will definitely be purchasing more Calphalon products. Very impressed with the quality versatility, and practicallity. Perfect for cooking for a family.

This pot replaces a virtually identical one that developed scratched Teflon on the inside bottom so my wife thought we should replace it. My wife initially resisted vociferously when, some years ago, I suggested we replace tinny cookware with quality Calphalon pots and pans. She complained that they were too heavy but has since fallen in love with them just because they are heavy and cook so well. She's a superb cook better than almost all restaurants of any price and she needs the proper tools to do the best job. We've never regretted buying the top of the line Calphalon cookware.
