Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 3-Quart Sauté Pan with Glass Lid

Unfortunately, this pan is no longer sold as an open stock item, and can only be found in sets, such as the 8and 13piece sets. Fortunately, I was able to buy it from a Marketplace seller for a very agreeable amount of $50.However, I do see that Amazon is selling it for $150, which is vastly inflated, but takes into account the fact that it can't be obtained without buying the 13 piece, $399 set.

This pan is just the right size for sauteeing, stir frying, you name it. It's not huge like it's big brother, the 5 qt. saute pan, but is suited to most normal cooking. The walls are deep enough to contain many dishes, which is nice.It's a bit heavy to hold one-handed (better for those fore-arm muscles!), and I appreciate the addition of a small handle on the other side.

Of most importance is its lid, for some reason, which Calphalon does not sell separately. It can fit snugly over this pan, the wok, the 10" omelette pan, AND the 8 qt. stockpot. Hey, it even fits some of my old pots as well. Thus, increasing the worth of this item.

Really, a terrific addition to any kitchen.

A note about cleaningafter extended use, there will be tarnishing and brown blemishes (at least on my gas range).To get rid of these, do NOT use Bon Ami because it's too gentle and doesn't get rid of stains.Best way to go is Barkeeper's Friend, about $2.50 at your local supermarket, or Cameo Stainless Steel Cleaner.However, Cameo is more abrasive than Barkeeper's Friend, and WILL reduce the mirror polish of these pans.Barkeeper's is the way to goremember to ALWAYS rub in a circular mannerback and forth will scratch the surfaces.

Just picked up this pan open-stock at Ross for $34 (5th Jan 2012).Cooked up a Thai Chicken Red Curry in it on the stovetop.Have to agree that the handle is somewhat skinny when trying to lift a full pan (don't try it unless you want the whole meal on the floor) but then again it does have the extra helper handle to make it a little easier to move about.Love that the lid can go in the oven.

Buy Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 3-Quart Sauté Pan with Glass Lid Now

Item was shipped and recieved as stated. Heft and finish are as good as expected. We pruchased this because of recommendations from a Consumer Report magazine artical. Have only used it twice, but it browns meats more evenly and quicker as compared to my coated skillets. Glad I purchased it. The reciept included with my purchase was hand signed with a "Thank You for doing business with us". That doesn't happen very much.

I assumed that this was an unopened new product and nothing from the sellers page leads us otherwise. It certainly looked new or possibly a returned item.It was not shipped in original packaging (just stuffed in a box wrapped with paper and labeled fragile).I purchased the accompanying 10" omelet pan at the same time, from a different seller, and it arrived in original packaging.

Otherwise, this pan looks perfectly good to my eyes.

And it arrived much sooner than expected!
