Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel Nonstick 2.5 Quart Sauce Pan


Perfect sauce pan
This is a perfect non-stick sauce pan. The handle is comfortable and well balanced. The food just slides out of the pan. It washes like a dream whether in the dishwasher or by hand. It's one of the few pans that can go into the dishwasher. It's worth every penny. Buy it and enjoy it.
I love this pan!
I purchased a pan like this for my vacation home and loved it so much that I bought a second one for my full-time home. It is heavy and sturdy and cleans up so easily. You'll love it too.
Does not worth the money.
Trial 1. Hard-boiled eggs in this saucepan. I usually use salty water for this - about tablespoon for 2 quarts. Result - around half-dozed some white pinhead spots on bottom. That was quite disappointing, but I've decided that I can live with them.

Trial 2. Boiled 2 veal sausages for breakfast. Washed it by hand right after the meal and let it dry. Result - more white spots from p.1 and now it has changed color from "stainless" to quite "light tanned" - right up to the level of water when I cooked sausages.

End of suspicions: I came to my friend's home and saw some smaller, 1.5 qt. saucepan on top of his stove. Boy, that one was really "tanned"! So, when I came home, I put back my old no-name saucepan that took a lot beating over years, scratched all over, but still sports its true stainless colors. Calphalon went to auction - good riddance.
