Customer Review: How much pasta can you cook???
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this out of my gold box. Nearly ended in divorce court. This fills up the cupboard and some pots have been relegated to the shelves in the garage. I bought this to replace a Circulon stock pot that I bought to try that brand. No comparison! The Circulon doesn't fit on the burner, is too tall for the stove, and is non-stick. To be fair, it's a fine pot, but I'm not a big fan of non-stick. The Calphalon stays on the stove while I try to figure out where to keep all this stuff. I love this for pasta and stock. You can lift out the stainless liner and remove all the dross from stock (I just made a chicken dish with the 12" everyday pan, this pot to make the stock, and the 4 qt. pot to cook some tortellini). The stock comes out clear, and the remains are easy to sort out for the cat! I've finally decided to limit the number of lids for all these pots. Thankfully, many lids fit more than one pot. Clean up is easy IF you follow directions. I spent 39 years in the public schools trying to teach kids to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! The Calphalon cleaner works wonders if all else fails. Always, always heat the pan first, then add oil, then the ingredients at ROOM temperature. One other thing, I only use plastic or wooden utensils in any cookware, I hate the look of scratches! This product line is better than any other I have ever used; you can keep your teflon and non-stick stuff....and I NEVER let anyone else wash these pans!
Description of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 6-1/2-Quart Saucepot with Pasta Insert
If you've ever suffered a steam burn draining your spaghetti through a colander, you'll appreciate this three-piece pasta set. A 6-quart insert sits inside the saucepan, so when your pasta is appropriately al dente, just lift the insert for instant drainage. The 6-1/2-quart saucepan has a pure aluminum core for fast heat conductivity so the water will boil faster. Because aluminum can dent, warp, or discolor easily, a hard-anodized coating protects the saucepan and increases its durability. The lid is also hard anodized, which means the oxide film of aluminum has been thickened to protect the pan. The insert is stainless steel, so it won't react to food and will retain its shape through a lifetime of use. The set includes a collector's edition recipe card to get you started on your pasta-cooking adventures. While most metal utensils are safe with anodized surfaces, avoid sharp tools, such as knives. For optimum longevity, this set should be hand washed. --Laura CuthbertAll Pans
