Calphalon Premier Stainless Steel 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid, 3-Layer Metal Construction, Oven & Dishwasher Safe

I love it. It’s sturdy and heavy, but not too heavy for me to lift. It cleans easily.

I needed this pan. I bought the stainless set, but the pan that came with it is 3qt, and that just isn't quite big enough for some of the recipes I want to cook. This one fits everything I want, with room to spare. I have seen the other reviews, and have to say, there is a bit of a learning curve to cooking with stainless, but once you "get it", you'll only use it (or your cast iron), ever again. First, you want MEDIUM heat, not low, nor high. Second, give the pan time to come up to temp - say, five minute or so. And learn the "skitter test". Drop a few droplets of water in the pan and they "skitter" over the surface, not just sizzle. And a little oil, it doesn't take a lot. I have no problem with stuff sticking, occasionally some stuff does, but not a lot, and it's never major. One thing people people with stainless need to learn, "Barkeepers Friend" is also YOUR friend. It takes off any stains, scuffs, marks, etc. It is also recommended by most stainless manufacturers. Once you have all this down, cooking with these is a breeze. Even heating (if you haven't warped your pan), non stick pans are cooking up great meals in your kitchen!

I love this pan! Have used it for a variety of dishes and every one has been excellent. And clean up has been easy each time. I'll be adding more from this line to my cooking arsenal.

This pan is really smooth and great to cook in. It has all of that metal inside the bottom of the pan and produces a nice, even heat all over. It's a little heavy, but that's to be expected with a pan of this size. The handle doesn't get hot, and that's a good thing. I love cooking chicken dishes in this, or frying bread or sandwiches.This pan cleans up nice, even on the bottom, and I especially appreciate that the bottom surface is stainless steel and not aluminum, as aluminum bottoms mark up my cutting board and my counter, which is a pain to clean up.Great product, beautiful design. Worth the money.

I really love this pan but mine came with a glass lid rimmed by metal. The glass of the lid is held in place by a rubber like gasket. This gasket actually leaks liquid from whatever is in the pan, the steam leaks through. Sort of minior'ish complaint but a little annoying.

Using stainless when you've been used to non-stick does take some adjustment, BUT, with a few habit modifications, I am in love. DON'T add your oil until the pan is hot, and then only RIGHT BEFORE you add your food. That will save you some grief, but if you are worried about scrubbing, know that an overnight soak with white vinegar takes off most baked on goop, and if not, bar keepers friend really is your friend. Usually, warm soapy water and a scrubby is all I need. The UP side - you can use all your heavy duty METAL utensils, it heats up in a flash and food cooks evenly. Plus, this is a really BIG pan, big enough to feed a small army.

Great quality, safe cooking pan. We replaced the silicone ones we had with stainless steel and this one works great. Easy to clean and cook with. Good quality from what we could tell too.

There are some that are more expensive, but not better.Nice heavy bottom gives outstanding heat distribution.The glass lid is made with thick, durable glass.Excellent piece of stainless steel cookware!I’d buy again, no question.
