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

 After One Use, Bottom of the Pot Badly Pitted or Damaged December 3, 2008
L. Rapoport (New Jersey, USA)
Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid
Bought this pan during the Black Friday sale and only paid $20 shipped which was a great price. Got it today and used it once to cook some spaghetti sauce. When I went to clean it the bottom looked like the anodized coating was peeling off. Almost looked like dark and light irregular shaped ink blots. I went to the Calphalon web site and followed their directions for cleaning including the use of the Green Scotch pads and Soft Scrub cleanser. Still was spotted. Then tried another of their suggestions with a dry Scotch pad, and after a lot of scrubbing of the inside surface, some of it came out, but I never had to do this with similar products and never experienced this problem, ever. My wife said if this is what it takes to keep it clean, she doesn't want it.
We are returning the Saucepan and awaiting the 12 Qt. Stock Pot we purchased at the same time to see if we have a similar issue with that one or if this was just a defective lot.

I purchased this pan about two years ago even though some of the reviews complained because things stuck to it. I have cooked in this thing hundreds of times and while things will stick a bit during cooking, I have never had any problems washing them right out. The pan has held up amazingly well and looks brand new.
Excellent Saucepan November 22, 2008

Got this saucepan during an amazon sale to compliment the rest of my Calphalon set. Heavy weight, hard anodized aluminum make this a durable, saucepan that will last in your kitchen regardless of whether you're a novice at cooking or have cooked for a while. The saucepan heats evenly, is a cinch to clean, and has a large base for quick heating.
I need the bigger one October 24, 2008

Nice small saucepan, easy to clean. As my children growing bigger and eat more, I have to buy the bigger one.
