Calphalon Signature Hard Anodized Nonstick Covered Everyday Chef Pan, 12", Black

I've been looking for some smaller sauce pans to cook white rice as my current pans are getting a little old. Although expensive, this pan has surpassed my expectations in that it handles smaller portions nicely and doesn't seem to have the issue with oozing water while on simmer. That will save time and money cleaning/replacing stove reflector bowls to say the least. Highly recommended even at a slightly high price.

Si bien es un poco pesado y para estufas pequeñas puede ser un poco estorboso para usar con otras ollas o sartenes, es excelente, no uso nada de aceite, la tapa embona perfectamente y se puede usar para hornear tartas, es fácil de lavar (lo hago a mano y con una esponja que no dañe la superficie , sin embargo no se raya con tanta facilidad como los de Teflon) vale la pena definitivamente.

I love this pot. It’s very nicely weighted, even heat. It’s strong and sturdyIt says you can use metal utensils with this pot however I would not do that. I use either wood or silicone. Always better safe than sorry. I just think metal over time will scratch anything

I purchased a 10pc of this set and loved it so much, I wanted a 12in lid to go with it. I couldn't find the 12in lid by itself at a decent price. This set goes on sale or reduced price regularly. Use a price tracking service to catch it on sale. I would highly recommend this pan as well as the entire Calphalon Signature Hard Anodized nonstick set. I have used cheap pans, $20 for a set of 3, for years. Buying a new one when the old one stopped working. I decided to get a nice set and I have not been happier at how they cook. They heat evenly, the lids fit, and the cleanup is paper towel clean. Nothing sticks or if it does, just a few mins in water and out it comes.I have yet to put mine in the dishwasher or use metal utensils but it says you can. I'll wait a few years before I do either of those.The only con is that they are on the heavy side. This provides even heat for cooking but for those that might have a hard time with weight, this could be an issue.

I am very impressed with the quality of this pan. I use it primarily for polenta but I'm sure it would work well with just about anything. Recommended purchase!
