Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 4-Quart Chef's Pan with Lid

Editorial Review:

Chef's pans have high, rounded sides, giving them greater capacity than saucepans with the same size bottom and exposing more liquid surface for rapid sauce reduction. This pan is ideal for braising meats and can go into the oven after browning takes place on the stovetop. Its rounded sides facilitate the traditional C-shaped flipping motion, making a chef's pan ideal for sautéing vegetables or browning pieces of meat or poultry. Its handle has a hole for hanging on hook or peg, and a loop handle provides two-handed lifting. Though not nonstick like some Calphalon cookware, the pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. For that no-nonsense, professional-kitchen look, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized cookware wears a matte finish. Contoured, textured, cast-stainless-steel handles resist heating and are triple-riveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pans cook without hot spots or warping. --Fred Brack

Not bad but not great:

Next to my cast iron skillet, this is probably the piece of cookware that I use the most in my kitchen. It has been used at least every other day (if not more often) for the past three years. The heat distribution and browning capabilities of the pan are great, however in retrospect I would have purchased a similar pan with a stainless steel exterior and interior.
I received this pan as part of a set which included some stainless steel utensils also made by calphalon. After three years of using these... more info

This pan makes cooking a breeze!:

This pan is incredible -- it is always the one I reach for when I'm trying to decide WHAT and HOW I'm going to make dinner. It distributes the heat evenly and smoothly, even on my cranky stove. I've boiled, baked, braised, fried and done anything else you can imagine in this pan. It is very easy to clean BUT MAKE SURE YOU NEVER PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER. It will ruin the anodized coating and void the warranty. It must be hand-washed. I've had another Calphalon product which was accidentally put in the... more info

Absolutely the BEST pan on the planet!:

This pan is by far the most useful and versatile I have ever had. You can cook rice in it and it does not stick. I have many pieces of Calphalon, both Commercial hard-anodized and Professional nonstick~ and this pan gets the most use and admiration. I have two of these, and many times I have wished I had just one more! The 4 quart capacity is a must. It is roomy enough to cook an entire package of spaghetti noodles without boiling over. If I could only have 1 pan- this would be the one.

Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 4-Quart Chef's Pan:

I received this pan as a gift in 2000. I find it to be one of the most useful pans I have. I have an entire set of Calphalon pans and love the way they heat/cook evenly. I would compare them to an iron skillet, except Calphalon is easier to clean.
