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

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!

Great brand and addition to my existing set.

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.

Heat distribution is VERY good, long handle is very good, lid is a nice fit. The helper handle opposite the long handle is a little narrow if you have average or larger hands, but will still give you a good 3 finger grip.It heats quickly and browns evenly, even on a slightly too-small electric burner, and I love that it also works on my induction burner.This is a really great pan for the price point.

Great pan and helps having a glass lid to see the food cooking.

Replacing crappy non-stick pan. Tired of throwing out non stick sauté pans due to the surfaces failing/peeling. This will last forever even with metal utensils.

I got this one for my daughter and it’s nice! So nice that I’m getting one for me! I have this brand in a Dutch oven and I love it. If you like to cook with stainless steel I highly recommend this brand!
