I love this pot, and use it once or twice a day from making oatmeal, to boiling pasta, to making cheese sauces. I've never had a pot boil water so quickly. It cleans up so easily, even if I put in in the dishwasher. The only thing this pot didn't recover from was when my husband severely burnt popcorn in it. We had to order another one. Fortunately they had it on Amazon.

I bought a set of these pots and pans from Calphalon at TJMaxx to use for two years at an on-site job residence. Great price (better than here), good design, ergonomics and construction, all of which tie together in one sophisticated little pan. That's the reason for the 5-star rating: quality + value. You can buy a better pot (like All-Clad), but not for the prices you'll pay for these. In fact, when TJMaxx sold out of these, I ordered more through amazon.

As for those features I alluded to: every pan or pot in the group (I have every size) has a good heft and distribution of weight. All handles, included those on the lids, are riveted (rather than welded), and they do stay cool. The tri-ply construction disperses heat evenly, and they all have oven viability. The exterior's brushed 18/10 stainless steel is apt to keep its good looks for a long time.

I wasn't too sure if I would like the glass lids, but now wouldn't buy otherwise. Lid-handles stay somewhat cool, but are high and open enough for hand and pot-holder without burning your knuckles. Lids fit well, letting only minimal amounts of steam escape, which is great for simmering or cooking at low temps.

I'll be leaving that temporary residence and moving back to my home in a few weeks, and these pots and pans will go with me. I'm certain that they'll outlast their 10-year warranty.

I got a set for my wedding 6 years ago. I mainly use the 1 and 2 quart pans every day (I kid you not) for the last 6 years. Through my burning it many many times, and cooking a million kinds of "experiments" in it, it still keeps going and looks brand new. Washing is a breeze, and I scour it with one of those plastic round sponges that looks like a donut when needed (not sure if I'm suppose to but it hasn't hurt it). My one little tiny complaint is that the lid does get hot--a little rubber added to the top like my Analon lids would help. Still, I'm going to order one for my sister for a wedding gift right now.

This pot is fabulous. I liked it so much I ordered a second one. It is very handy for two people and very easy to clean - even after our morning oatmeal! The glass lid is perfect for keeping an eye on what's cooking without having to open the pot and peer inside. I put it in the dishwasher occasionally, and it comes out looking like new! Very highly recommended. Now I want the 1 1/2 quart size.

I thoroughly enjoy cooking with this pan. It cooks evenly and cleans easily. The size is also great for smaller portions. I recommend this product.
