Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid
Customer Review: Great pan --- an essential tool in my kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the single most-used pan of all the Calphalon pans I own. What's not to love about it? It has a massive capacity (although I see Calphalon even has a 7-quart saute pan --- ye gods!), it heats evenly, and the problem with sticking is minimal as far as I have experienced. It is also easy enough to clean.It is very big, and with a full load of food, it will be a little difficult to manipulate, so keep that in mind if you don't like wrestling with your pans. If you are only cooking for 2-3 people, you might choose the 3-quart saute pan instead. However, if you are cooking larger quantities of food, the 5-quart pan is the perfect size.
One reviewer complained of discoloration after cooking shrimp curry. Surely this must be an aberration. In the past 3 years I have cooked more Indian dishes in this pan than I can count. The resulting dishes have regularly stained my plastic containers and on occasion my plates, but it has never done a thing to the saute pan. I can't imagine most people having problems in this regard.
These things are great, and well worth the money. Wouldn't it be nice never to have to worry about replacing your pans again, for the rest of your life? Just do yourself a favor, and get this!
Description of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid
This large sauté pan is ample for frying a couple of chickens, braising corned beef, sautéing loads of vegetables, or browning meats. Or fill it with stew and stick it into the oven. At 12-1/2 inches in diameter by 2-1/2 inches high, this is a big pan that will satisfy many needs. Its handle has a hole for hanging on hook or peg, and a loop handle provides two-handed lifting. Though not nonstick like some Calphalon cookware, the pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. For that no-nonsense, professional-kitchen look, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized cookware wears a matte finish. Contoured, textured, cast-stainless-steel handles resist heating and are triple-riveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pans cook without hot spots or warping. --Fred BrackAll Pans
