Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 8-Quart Stockpot with Lid
Customer Review: Essential for Cooking Pasta (and More)
Summary: 5 Stars
The Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 8-Quart Stock Pot with Lid is almost constantly in use in my kitchen. I love to cook pasta by using this pot with the 8-quart pasta insert (see my review of this item). Once you have cooked pasta by using an 8-quart stockpot and insert, you will never want to cook pasta in any other way. At first, if you are not used to it, the stockpots when filled with boiling water may seem very heavy, but after a little while you will become very adept at handling them. The only difference between this stockpot and the Commercial nonstick one (much better than Calphalon's Professional line) is the inside coating and that the lid is stainless steel, instead of hard-anodized aluminum. I have not had much of a problem with cleaning up (by hand always) my hard-anodized stockpot, except for when I add Parmigiano Reggiano to my minestrone. So you may want to even purchase both 8-quart stockpots. Then you can make a soup or stew and noodles or pasta or fresh corn, at the same time. You will love this stockpot--and don't forget to buy the matching insert!
Description of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 8-Quart Stockpot with Lid
Calphalon Commercial hard-anodized pans are made for the more serious cook who is looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This medium-size, 8-quart stockpot is good for soup, stews, and most pasta, and its heavy-gauge aluminum construction also stands up to deep frying. The looped handles are easy to grip and stay cooler than you might expect, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan, but it's still a good idea to keep hot pads nearby. The nonporous and nonreactive hard-anodized surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food. It's also tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils and vigorous whisking. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides you the flexibility to take the pan to the oven or broiler. But do remember to hand wash your Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale SteinkeStockpots
