Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Stainless Lid
Customer Review: A decent pot, made in China
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, this pot has a solid feel. However, in design and manufacturing standards, it's not on par with All-Clad, or those Cuisinart and Caphalon products that are made in the USA. The weight of this utensil (5 lbs empty, about 11 lbs when filled with 3 quarts of water) paired with the relatively short handle make it slightly awkward in some situations. For example, its size make it ideal for cooking pasta for one or two people, but in that case I would have preferred that the pot have a second ("helper") handle or at least a longer single handle.
As others have noted, both interior and exterior finish are brushed, rather than mirror finish, making it slightly more difficult to clean. However, I disagree that all other finishes look the same after several months. Mirror finishes remain so if a good quality paste copper cleaner is used.
On the plus side: The lid of this pot fits well, and the handle of the lid is convenient.
Overall, good value, but not 5 star quality.
Description of Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Stainless Lid
This 3-quart chef?s pan with high sides cooks vegetables, reduces fruit sauces, or just warms leftovers. Part of Calphalon?s premium Tri-Ply Copper line, this brilliant stainless-steel and copper-accented cookware cooks as beautifully as it looks. The pan?s exterior is crafted of copper?-the superior metal for heat conduction?-and a heavy-gauge aluminum core runs through its center. The combination of these two metals provides more exact control while cooking and excellent end results. The interior is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which is nonreactive to acidic foods and offers a reflective surface that makes it easier to know when foods are completely cooked. This cookware has Calphalon?s patented stainless-steel Cool-V handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and stainless-steel lids that fit snugly onto the pan for a tight seal. All Tri-Ply Copper cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina VaamondeAll Pans
