Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware, Dutch Oven, 5-quart

I love this pot! The size is a good one for me as I seem to always end up overfilling my other pots. This one I can just throw in whatever I want and it is plenty big enough without being a huge, deep stock pot. The flat bottom is nice on my ceramic top stove, very smooth. The quality is excellent for home cooking. I’m sure there are elite brand pots for hundreds of dollars more but this one can be classed as a sort of basic, entry level pot for higher quality cookware. It can easily last a lifetime and goes through the dishwasher with no problem. People who complain about the pot warping are using too high heat. The rainbow "stain" and the white haze other people complain about are typical of all stainless steel. Both can be removed quickly with a splash of vinegar and a minute of soaking in the case of the white deposits.

Nice even heating, food does not burn easily. A good investment if you regularly cook smaller and medium sized meals. A big improvement over previous pots I have cooked with.

I had a 5 qt. non-stick calphalon and wanted to switch over to stainless steel. I was so happy to find this on Amazon. I use this pot all the time to make stew, pasta, sauce, meatballs, baby food plus much more. It cooks evenly on my stovetop and cleanup is a breeze even if there's stuck on food. All I do is run hot water into the pot with some dish detergent and let it sit for about an hour, sometimes less. Then I take a sponge and wash it down. Simple. I love this pot.

Great product as expected, triply cookware, easy to use. No worries whatsoever

Love my Calphalon Tri-ply Stainless pot. I have the full set and wanted a 2nd 5qt Dutch oven. I'm sure there are less expensive brands out there but Calphalon never disappoints.
