It seems like you always need two small pans when cooking a meal for two...I love this pot, I have a large set but only had one small pot, now that I have 2, it makes cooking a whole lot easier...This pot cleans up great and cooks evenlyBest Deals for Simply Calphalon Nonstick Sauce Pan
Unfortunately, I have to partially agree with the other reviewer who is displeased with the non stick coating on this particular saucepan. Upon arrival everything looked great, item arrived in perfect shape thanks to good packaging that protects it in shipment. However it's with the actual usability and longevity where this saucepan falls short.I had only used the saucepan about 4-5 times over the course of about a month and around the 5th time of cleaning it with a nonstick safe soft 3M microfiber sponge, I noticed scratches on the surface of the non stick coating. This was especially perplexing to me since I had put such little use on it and had followed Calphalon's explicit care instructions.
I actually contacted Calphalon regarding these scratches and provided them with photos. I expressed my dissatisfaction with their product and inquired about a possible warranty replacement. They replied with this: "Based on the photos the surface markings on your nonstick Calphalon cookware is normal and to be expected under normal use and care. However the markings should not break through to the cookware core." They then provided information on how to return it for a warranty replacement, however based on their description of the marks, they are "normal". Since they don't break through to the core, it's doubtful that I would qualify for a warranty replacement and I'm not eager to spend the money to ship the saucepan back only to be told that it's not eligible for replacement.
What's curious about these "surface markings" is that I see none of them whatsoever on a Calphalon Contemporary saucepan that I purchased around the same time. Even though I've put the same amount of use on this other saucepan, and cleaned it using the exact same sponge, it displays no markings/scratches on it's nonstick surface and still looks brand new. I can only deduce that because it's a higher end offering from Calphalon, and thus it has a more robust and tougher nonstick coating.
In summary, if you are looking for a Calphalon saucepan I suggest you go with something from their Contemporary line instead of the "Simply Calphalon" line. In terms of longevity and toughness, their Simply Calphalon line just isn't worth the money they are asking for it.
