NOT WHAT IS PICTURED! Mar 18, 2011
By John Sheehy
"Just some college professor"
This is advertised as a tri-ply pot -- but what I just received was an ordinary steel pot with an aluminum disk brazed to the bottom. In fact, the pot I was sent looks nothing like the one pictured: the shape is different, the lip is different, the pot is different.
$99 is not a bad price for a tri-ply stock pot, but one can buy a disk-bottom pot of similar quality just about anywhere for half this price. I'd have to say this was a complete rip-off.

Representation Issue Dec 25, 2010
By Gregory J. Landretti As of this date, I do not believe the 12-qt stock pot shown on the Amazon site is the same as the 12-qt on the Calphalon site. In fact, I do not think that the Amazon image is the 12-qt pot. It looks like the 8-qt. All of my other cookware in the Contemporary line are "completely" clad. That is, they have an entirely smooth exterior surface and the sides are thick. The 12-qt as shown on the Calphalon site--and the one I received, is clad ONLY on the bottom--like other less expensive pots. The sides are relatively thin--like less expensive pots. At first I thought I received the wrong pot. Only after looking at the Calphalon site did I notice the difference. Having said this, I am not sure it is a huge issue because the bottom is where you need the heat for a large stock pot. Aside from the issues I mentioned, the pot is an beautiful as the others in the Contemporary line and the lid has a wonderfully snug fit. Under decent heat, the pot brings and hold water at a roiling boil which is perfect for cooking pasta.

What a beautiful pot. Almost too pretty to not leave out on the stove. Very uniform heating. Easy to clean. Love it.

Calphalon Stainless Stockpot Oct 05, 2009
By Layne Nelson
"TokenGimp"
This is as expected from Calphalon. Thick walls and bottom for cooking without scorching and for keeping things warm. I should have paid closer attention though. After looking at a bunch of stockpots I ordered a size smaller than I wanted.
