Product Description
Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability. The 2.5-Qt.Shallow Saucepan with Lid is designed for making and reducing sauces, roux and for heating sou or, boiling eggs. The thick bottom and sides absorb heat evenly and help protect delicate sauces from overheating. The wider, shallower design allows liquid and m oisture to evaporate more quickly, so your reductions and sauces are ready sooner.Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum, all-metal construction with the advanced technology of the Cool V stainless handles. The aluminum construction provides superior cooking performance by distributing the heat evenly so there are no hot spots as you cook. And because it's made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. The hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to the foods being cooked. The Cool V handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and are balanced with such precision that the pans feel lighter when you pick them up.

Amazon.com Review
This straight-sided 2-1/2-quart pan can be used for sauces and, covered with its flat lid, for stews and casseroles. Shallow (3 inches) in relation to its capacity and diameter (8-3/8 inches), this pan, unlike conventionally proportioned saucepans, exposes lots of surface and is therefore ideal for reducing sauces or even stocks and broths. Though it's not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. The contoured, textured handle is cast stainless steel and resists heating on the stovetop; it's also triple-riveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

3 out of 5 stars Made for Less Quality and More Profit   June 18, 2008

I purchased the Simply Calphalon Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 2-Quart Saucepan with Cover a couple of months ago. That one was made in Toledo, Ohio. I paid two whole dollars more for that one, here at Amazon. I can't really say if it is the fact that that one is of the Simply Calphalon series that made it better or that it wasn't made in China. I will tell you that this one just doesn't compare. Go with Simply Calphalon and try to stay away from the Chinese produced Calphalon products. I'd been sooo happy with my other Calphalon purchases here at Amazon. I was severely dissapointed with this one. Made In China is really turning into Made for Less Quality and More Profit.


5 out of 5 stars Great Deal!   June 14, 2008

I have purchased two of these on sale and Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized is my favorite type to use.
Get 'em while you can and as many as you can.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent use   June 13, 2008
James D. Ivers
I've been using the Hard-Anodized 2.5 Qt shallow pan now for about a month. It's really great. I'm getting a couple more, one for a gift. It's a good size for all but the biggest meals/ingredients, and it cooks quickly at medium temps. I've cooked rice in a 3-4 times and it does wonders for 2 cups of rice. I've also made my own barbecue sauce in it. Easy to control cooking, easy to clean. On sale, it's hard to beat.


5 out of 5 stars Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid   May 23, 2008
AWOL (Planet Earth.)
I first purchased the 12 quart Commercial Anodized and was very happy with it. This 2 1/2 quart size has worked wonderfully. I made rice in this pan at least 5 times and it turned out perfect. (Not Minute rice Either)... Mac & Cheese from scratch did NOT stick also made a small batch of fudge in this pan.....

Cleanup is a breeze and is oven safe. There is a slight color variation from the ones made in the USA.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent addition to my Calphalon family   May 18, 2008
B. Castillo (East Coast)
Heats evenly, a perfect addition to my Calphalon family.

Great for cooking, I use mostly for making large quantities of rice and it works beautifully. Perfect for soups, rice, stews, and large quantity meals. Cleans very easy, fits in a dishwasher. Strong Durable. Affordable. It's used very often.
