- Quality cookware, nice value
- I enjoy using this saucepan. The base is heavy, and the clear lid helps to know what is taking place in the covered pan. The sides are shorter than my other cookware so I do need to use more caution to stir when very full, but I believe those issues are more about the cook than this pan!

- Calphalon 1qt. sauce pan
- This is an excellent product in a size that is not easy to find. The handle is cleverly designed to be comfortable for either right- or left-handed folks. The bottom is heavy, meaning even heating over high flame. The glass lid is a definite plus and is well-constructed (often the handles on glass lids are affixed with screws; this one is riveted). I rate this A+.

- great little pot
- I love this pot, and use it once or twice a day from making oatmeal, to boiling pasta, to making cheese sauces. I've never had a pot boil water so quickly. It cleans up so easily, even if I put in in the dishwasher. The only thing this pot didn't recover from was when my husband severely burnt popcorn in it. We had to order another one. Fortunately they had it on Amazon.

- great value for little money
- I bought a set of these pots and pans from Calphalon at TJMaxx to use for two years at an on-site job residence. Great price (better than here), good design, ergonomics and construction, all of which tie together in one sophisticated little pan. That's the reason for the 5-star rating: quality + value. You can buy a better pot (like All-Clad), but not for the prices you'll pay for these. In fact, when TJMaxx sold out of these, I ordered more through amazon.
As for those features I alluded to: every pan or pot in the group (I have every size) has a good heft and distribution of weight. All handles, included those on the lids, are riveted (rather than welded), and they do stay cool. The tri-ply construction disperses heat evenly, and they all have oven viability. The exterior's brushed 18/10 stainless steel is apt to keep its good looks for a long time.
I wasn't too sure if I would like the glass lids, but now wouldn't buy otherwise. Lid-handles stay somewhat cool, but are high and open enough for hand and pot-holder without burning your knuckles. Lids fit well, letting only minimal amounts of steam escape, which is great for simmering or cooking at low temps.
I'll be leaving that temporary residence and moving back to my home in a few weeks, and these pots and pans will go with me. I'm certain that they'll outlast their 10-year warranty. - 2008-05-27, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Keeps going...
- I got a set for my wedding 6 years ago. I mainly use the 1 and 2 quart pans every day (I kid you not) for the last 6 years. Through my burning it many many times, and cooking a million kinds of "experiments" in it, it still keeps going and looks brand new. Washing is a breeze, and I scour it with one of those plastic round sponges that looks like a donut when needed (not sure if I'm suppose to but it hasn't hurt it). My one little tiny complaint is that the lid does get hot--a little rubber added to the top like my Analon lids would help. Still, I'm going to order one for my sister for a wedding gift right now.
