 Surprisingly perfect... Jan 13, 2011
By Bunkster Brown
I recently left an empty 5 qt. Calphalon saucepan on a burner, and ruined it. I searched and searched, but couldn't find a 5 qt. replacement anywhere (I had purchased it many years ago).
So instead I purchased this 4 qt. saucepan as a replacement, keeping my fingers crossed that it would do the job I needed it to do. Surprisingly, the Calphalon steamer insert that fits the 5 qt. also fits perfectly in this one. The Cuisinart lid also fits perfectly on the Calphalon steamer insert. They even look like a matched set, you wouldn't even know that they were two different brands.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this pan. It has all of the things I love about my All-Clad LTD, and some additional features that make it maybe even superior to All-Clad (? time will tell). It looks like All-Clad, seems as well made as far as handle rivets etc., is much lighter (which I find appealing, the older I get), and has a well-designed ergonomic handle that stays cool. Heat distribution is excellent, just like All-Clad. Unlike my All-Clad, the handle on the cover also stays cool, and the Cuisinart is dishwasher safe. Clean-up is a breeze too. Just for kicks, I left food in it overnight to harden on. The next morning, I filled it with soapy warm water and let it sit for a while. Soon, the formerly hardened and stuck-on food wiped right off with a soapy sponge. I noticed after the pan was washed that the inside bottom had some rainbows, but I spray some Pam in it and wiped it with a paper towel, and it is shiny and clear again.
I've decided to order a whole bunch of these as a New Year's treat and belated Christmas present to myself. Some of my other Calphalons have seen better days, and I've never really been happy with Calphalon's performance anyway. I expected more for the price they charge. This line will give me a fresh boost in the kitchen for a very reasonable price.
Oh, I should mention that I also really like how you can loop the cover's handle over the pan's handle, and leave them together to hang them on your pot rack. I can't do this with any of my other pans, I have to keep the covers separate in the cabinet. It'll be really handy to have the corresponding cover with the pot, when I'm doing things in a hurry in the kitchen. I may start to enjoy cooking again!

 4 quart saucepan dishwasher clean Sep 29, 2010
By S. Hamilton
Really needed a replacement 4 quart saucepan wanted quality and a pan that could be cleaned in the dishwasher, didn't cost a fortune and did not have any interior coating that would scratch as mashing potatoes over the years had trashed my old Millenium Farberware saucepan. This fit the bill perfectly and works great...keep the flame
under the saucepan low as it distributes heat well.

Great Item Feb 12, 2011
By bubba
We received two of these pans for Christmas from our son and daughter-in-law and bought this one to complete the set. We love them. They sit flat on our stove and clean up so nicely in the dishwasher.

Great pan with a straightforward design Dec 11, 2010
By A's Fan
We were looking to move away from nonstick surfaces and back to basic stainless steel interior cooking surfaces. At the same time, we wanted the improved heat transference from aluminum or copper or some such metal.
These pots fit the bill perfectly. And at a good price.
Plus we love the color and that that aren't super heavy. There's just enough aluminum on all the clad surfaces, but without becoming too heavy.
We've bought 2 other major Cuisinart Multiclad Unlimited pieces as well and love those, too.
A great bargain.

does the job Nov 19, 2010
By runbeerclimbdude
Haven't used it a ton yet, but like the size and the tight fitting lid. Only 4 stars due to some slight staining that required a bit of cleaning effort after cooking a messy dish. I'd probably gotten too used to non-stick coatings.
