Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid
Product Description
Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon’s Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability. The 2.5-Qt.Shallow Saucepan with Lid is designed for making and reducing sauces, roux and for heating sou or, boiling eggs. The thick bottom and sides absorb heat evenly and help protect delicate sauces from overheating. The wider, shallower design allows liquid and m oisture to evaporate more quickly, so your reductions and sauces are ready sooner.Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum, all-metal construction with the advanced technology of the Cool V stainless handles. The aluminum construction provides superior cooking performance by distributing the heat evenly so there are no hot spots as you cook. And because it’s made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. The hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to the foods being cooked. The Cool V handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and are balanced with such precision that the pans feel lighter when you pick them up.

Amazon.com Review
This straight-sided 2-1/2-quart pan can be used for sauces and, covered with its flat lid, for stews and casseroles. Shallow (3 inches) in relation to its capacity and diameter (8-3/8 inches), this pan, unlike conventionally proportioned saucepans, exposes lots of surface and is therefore ideal for reducing sauces or even stocks and broths. Though it’s not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won’t harm the surface. The contoured, textured handle is cast stainless steel and resists heating on the stovetop; it’s also triple-riveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
Manufacturer’s Description
Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware offers you the same superior performance and durability as our original, Professional Hard-Anodized series, plus the comfort and convenience of our patented Cool V handle. Ergonomically designed for better balance and maneuverability, the Cool V handle stays comfortably cool during stove-top cooking.
Whether you’re preparing a delicate Bearnaise or a meaty marinara, Calphalon sauce pans are designed for maximum performance. Heavy gauge aluminum construction guarantees even, efficient heating. The cast stainless steel Cool V handle absorbs heat more slowly than cast iron handles, so it stays cooler longer on the burner. Plus, the rounded bottom perimeter helps you scrape every spot inside the pan so no tasty spoonful goes to waste.

2 1/2 Qt. Calphalon pan![]()
This is really a wonderful 2 1/2 qt pan! Very well made – heavy duty. I use it a lot……
great pan![]()
I purchased the pan in addition to some other items. My wife liked the pan so much she’s having me order another one. I’ll do it this week end along with a few other items i intend to purchase. I have had the best shopping results with Amazon.com. I buy from ebay sometimes but have not been as satisfied.
Handy pot![]()
I am using this little pot for several things, but the best is for baking cornbread in the oven! I really appreciate my Calphalon pots!
