Product Description
Great tastes come to those who wait. Calphalon stock pots are ideal for stews, stock, chili and other moist-cooked dishes. Heavy-gauge aluminum is responsive to temperature changes, whether you're slowly simmering or rapidly boiling. Calphalon's stock pots are designed for easy cooking, easy cleanup and maximum performance. Add a stainless insert for your pasta-making pleasure.Amazon.com Review
Calphalon Commercial hard-anodized pans are made for the more serious cook who is looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This large-size, 12-quart stockpot is good for soup, stews, and pasta, and its heavy-gauge aluminum construction also stands up to deep frying. The looped handles are easy to grip and stay cooler than you might expect, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan, but it's still a good idea to keep hot pads nearby. The nonporous and nonreactive hard-anodized surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food. It's also tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils and vigorous whisking. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides you the flexibility to take the pan to the oven or broiler. But do remember to hand wash your Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale SteinkeSimilar Products

Though I have yet to use this stockpot, I did purchase it at a good price and had always wanted this size. I have had and purchased Calphalon for many years and I can say that there is a marked difference in the product from the pans that I bought years ago, so I do wonder about the quality. Hard Anodized if used correctly can be one of the best metals to use in cooking. Read the directions and follow them and you will love this as much as I do. This is my most recent purchase so all my other Calphalon is much older and still in great condition. If this product doesn't hold up in the same fashion I will update this review, but as of now I'm a Calphalon FAN!! Thanks Amazon for the grat prices. PS the best time to buy the Calphalon is on their Friday sale day!

I purchased this on the Deals of the day. Received it, used it the next day making soup, when I went back to the kitchen, the soup was leaking out of the handle. I returned it as defective, Amazon sent me a new one, decided to fill it up with water to test and the handle leaked on that one too! I am returning this one and had also ordered a 7 quart and I canceled that order. Wouldn't buy this product again.

This is without a doubt the best pot I have ever used! While cooking, the lid does not get so hot that one cannot pick it up. Also, if the pot needs to be picked up by the handles on the side, you will not burn yourself. The heat is transfered equally throughout the pot (bottom, sides, etc.) as it is cooking. It is easy cleanup. I now want a whole set.

I've had this for about 4 years now, and it's my all-time favorite pot. I make everything in it - soup, stew, chili, sauce, even candy. Heats evenly and holds heat well, the lid fits nicely and the handles stay relatively cool on the cook top. I've never used it in the oven but it's supposed to be rated to 500 degrees. I really don't know what I'd do without it.

This pot = thin junk. Older Calphalon made in USA = thick, heavy, high-quality. Very sad to see such a nosedive in quality.
