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.

For $15.99 plus super saver shipping, this pan is exceptional. Realize that this is a teaser price on one pan in order to get you to buy more of them. In my case, I just needed a small saucepan, with a glass lid, that would go in the dishwasher. This pan is so much more; the weight is substantial for the size of the pan, plus the workmanship is definitely high end. Whether you need just one lone pan or are considering this line for a complete set, you will be pleased.

January 24, 2008 update: I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this pan. Of anything I've ever owned, Farberware Millenium, RevereWare, Circulon, Oneida, or Cuisinart, the Simply Calphalon is by far the best. They cook well, and they clean up in the dishwasher even better (the pan comes out looking brand new every time). It's making me think about clearing out everything else and using just the Calphalon.

It works, it cleans. I use the it almost every day and it stays in excellent condition. What more could you want from a 1 qt. saucepan? People complain that the cover gets hot. I've never had a saucepan cover that didn't. Gotta invest in a potholder. I do like the glass lid - can see in without taking off the cover - saves wear and tear on the potholder! And it fits well.

I generally love caphalon butthe stainless steel collection is rather poor. Not easy to clean everything sticks to it.. Only good for liquids. And this pot is the smallest ever! and really heavy to lift!!

This is a great little saucepan. It's high quality and at a very reasonable price. I would have preferred a metal lid (doesn't break), but some people will like the glass lid so you can see in the pot. A very good buy!

I orginally purchased one of the 1 Quart Saucepan with glass lid. After it arrived and I had a chance to use it, I purchased two more (one more for my kitchen and one for my 5th RV.)

The pan heats evenly without scorching and I can see how the contents are doing without removing the lid.

Well worth the price!

The pan is solidly constructed, and looks attractive. It heats up quickly also, and washing is easy. The only problem and annoyance is that the handle for the glass lid gets very hot, as does the main handle after a while. Having a glass lid is convenient, not being able to open and close it without getting a potholder or kitchen towel is very interruptive.

I not only enjoy cookiing with my new Calphalon saucepan, but also appreciate the confidence the product affords me. After many years of cooking and using many different brands and styles of cookware, I decided to buy all new cookware so that it all would be the same, not the hodge-podge I had used for years. So, I researched the industry and decided to try Calphalon. I can say without reservation that it is sturdy and consistently reliable. It's also well designed and easy to maintain. My trial of a couple of pieces of Calphalion resulted in my decison to purchase a collection of the cookware. I haven't completed it yet, but with time, all my cooking will be with Calphalon. Additionally, my daughters-in-law were so impressed with the look and reliability of my Calphalon cookware that they decided to use Calphalon for all their cooking, and have requested Calphalon as gifts for birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas, etc. until their collections are complete.

The glass lid on this saucepan has a metal handle that conducts heat. You will need an oven mitt or such to pull off the lid to stir, etc.

This is very bad design. I use lids from other pans, but that is not what I paid for.

The handle of the pan itself, however, does not conduct heat.

I purchased this when it was on sale the firat time. I was glad to see it return to the sale price and snatched it up. Great pot for the full price. But for this price it is a steal.
Not quite the quality of Cuisinart Chef's Classic.... - Review written on April 21, 2005

but a tough little pot at a very reasonable price. Perfect for small jobs and heavy weight as well. I wish I had ordered two!

(10/07) update: I noticed the 1 1/2 qt. Cuisinart Chef's Classic stainless pot and cover were on sale at $13.99. An even better bargain than this.
