Product Description: From the comfortably arched handles to the stylish flared silhouettes, the Calphalon Contemporary line is designed to please. Looks aren't everything however, and this cookware line is not simply another pretty face! No indeed, this collection is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, reknowned for its fast and even heating, and it's lined with durable non-stick for easy clean up and low fat cooking. Lids are of tempered glass to allow visual monitoring of the cooking process. This sauce pan is a good choice for making puddings, heating hot fudge or dips or for cooking veggies. Additionally the low and wide profile combine to facilitate evaporation, an essential aspect of reduction sauces.
Amazon.com Review: Perfect for reducing sauces or cooking vegetables on the stovetop and for braising meat in the oven, this shallow, 2-1/2-quart saucepan is coated with nonstick inside to release food readily and clean easily. The nonstick is durable enough to go safely into the oven at temperatures up to 450 degrees F. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum with a matte finish, the pan conducts heat uniformly and quickly. Because the aluminum is anodized it's harder than steel and the pan won't scratch, chip, or crack. The oval, brushed stainless-steel handle stays cool on the stovetop and has a hanging hole for the pan to be stored on hook or peg. The domed glass lid collects and returns moisture to food and permits monitoring of cooking without reducing the temperature inside the pan. Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects.

Rating: - calphalon 2 1/2 qt contemporay sauce pan
This is a great pan. Everyone needs a non-stick sauce pan and the shape of this one makes it perfect for many jobs. It's well made, not too heavy to handle and the glass lid lets you observe your work. The pan flares out near the rim, so for smaller jobs the ingredients are concentrated at the bottom. The flared out area makes it easier to get a spoon or spatula in there to work the sauce.
Rating: - Wide saucier
The size is just perfect and the shape is wonderful for stirring and whisking, since the corners are more gently rounded and you can get the tool right in there.
Great!
Rating: - Nice Saucepan
Very well made as is the case with most Calphalon. While 2-1/2 qt seems small this is a larger pan than expected with a fairly large diameter and a more shallow depth that typical saucepan. That said, it has turned out to be very useful for many daily cooking activities. Recommended.
Rating: - Beautiful!
I forget how much I paid for this, but I want another one! It looks sweet! Especially boiling something with the lid on it. The handle on the lid doesn't get hot after 10 minutes of boiling, the pan handle is easy to grasp, and nothing sticks to this thing. Running water will clean out whatever it was that was cooking in it - no need to touch it with a cloth. The small details are what is most impressive about this - the heavy weight, the Calphalon logo on the very end of the handle, the "Made ... Read More
