Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Professional Hard-Anodized Fish Poacher with Lid
Customer Review: Perhaps The Ultimate In Single-Purpose Tools..Or Is It?
Summary: 4 Stars
You're probably thinking "but I don't poach fish" or, even if you do, "$150 for a fish poacher? Holy mackarel!". Nonetheless, you want this pan. Swallow hard, and buy it "just for the halibut". While probably *not* approved by the Sturgeon General, this pan, designed to fit over two stovetop burners or in the oven, is ideal for more than just gently simmering a whole (or long filet of) fish. It's great for cooking sheet pastas, such as lasagne - no more broken noodles, as well as long pastas. It's also a very useful pan for making stock (you can roast the bones and aromatics, dump the water in, set one burner to simmer, and allow natural convective currents in the pan to force the scum to one end) and you won't believe how clever it is for reducing stock to glace de viande (that paste-like stock concentrate used to enhance sauces).The anodized aluminum material, mentioned in numerous reviews for other Calphalon products is an even-heating, long-wearing, reasonably-easy-to-clean joy. You're going to have this pan for a long, long time.
If you're buying a gift for a Foodie, here's a perfect choice. They probably don't already have one, they probably look at them and sigh wistfully as they pass by, and they might even invite you over for dinner when they use it.
Time for me to clam up. You, the reader, may be getting crabby by now. I leave you to click and acquire this unique, and not nearly-as-specialized-as-you-might-think item.
Description of Calphalon Professional Hard-Anodized Fish Poacher with Lid
This pan will poach a perfect rainbow trout or even a sockeye salmon--its ample size easily accommodates an 18-by-5-1/2-inch fish. The sturdy but lightweight poaching insert has easy-lift handles and rests neatly in the bottom of the larger pan, and the lid fits tightly to keep moisture in while cooking. The virtues of Calphalon's anodized aluminum are highly praised among cooks: even heat distribution, quick heating and cooling, stick-resistant surfaces, durable construction, and attractive design. Care for this pan with consideration for the long, useful life it offers: always wash it by hand with mild cleaners. --Sherry SmithSpecialty Cookware
