Calphalon Premier Hard-Anodized Nonstick 3.5-Quart Sauce Pan with Lid, Black, 3.5 QT

A friend uses hers to cook everything and highly recommended it. Easy cleanup. Nonstick w/o teflon.I’ve used it and love it.

A person cannot beat Caphalon pots and pans, this one was a beauty. I got this as a Christmas gift for my daughter, at her request, and we both thought it was just great. Both of us have Caphalon pots and pans and really love them for their sterling qualities. They heat up quickly, are durable, and clean up beautifully . I would recommend this kettle without reservation. It has a pasta drainer insert and is of the finest quality.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for daughter because we have found this brand to be the most reliable over the 40 some years we have been purchased new pots and pans

Works great for any large pastas, but when draining small shells or spaghetti, the noodles slip out of the lid gap. Otherwise, a nice pot.

My favorite. Quality contruction, distributes heat well, more non-stick than any other brand I've tried, easy to clean. My go-to. Love.

High quality cookware. Exactly what I wanted.

I love the idea that they rolled a spout on both sides, since I always pour off with my right hand, and all the spouts I've seen pour off to the left, so doing both is great.I have mixed feelings with the diameter of this pot. It looks like it was deliberately designed to fit exactly over a glasstop electric's smallest ring. But my previous Calphalon 3.5Qt is an inch or so wider, and I feel that it absorbs more heat from the element, as none escapes from the edge. A wider pot would also boil faster due to the surface area. The wider pot was also slightly easier to manipulate the contents. But then again, a wider pot might burn easier.But I can't really tell, because the glaring problem with this pot is that the lid doesn't seal off the spouts. It's a gaping hole on both sides of the lid. This has increased my cooking times and energy usage. Also, as someone who does not want 30 different variations of the same thing, I only want one main pot for pasta as well as rice, and this lack of a seal alters the ratio.It's also thinner and narrower than their previous design. I prefer their original density for the reduced temperature swings, especially on a glasstop that retains heat as opposed to gas.5 stars if you have room for "spare" pots, and this just another screwdriver in the pile. but as a daily driver, I do not like this as much as I expected.

Calphalon pots hold up well with every day use. This was a good price for this replacement piece.
