Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The best stocks are simmered slowly over steady, low heat. Calphalon's 12-qt. Stock Pot is crafted of heavy-gauge aluminum to cook ingredients evenly, at just the right temperature. Stick-resistant surface won't react with most foods. Includes flat, anodized lid.

Amazon.com Review:
Calphalon Commercial hard-anodized pans are made for the more serious cook who is looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This large-size, 12-quart stockpot is good for soup, stews, and pasta, and its heavy-gauge aluminum construction also stands up to deep frying. The looped handles are easy to grip and stay cooler than you might expect, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan, but it's still a good idea to keep hot pads nearby. The nonporous and nonreactive hard-anodized surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food. It's also tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils and vigorous whisking. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides you the flexibility to take the pan to the oven or broiler. But do remember to hand wash your Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale Steinke

- great pot, but too big for me
i heard a lot about the calphalon commercial series and thought it would be the best quality for the money.it has lived up to the positive reputation and has been a great pot that i have used many times for soups and stews.the only problem for me is that this pot is too big.there isn't enough room between my over the range microwave and the top of this pot for me.if i were to go back i would buy a smaller size but i am happy with this pot.

This pot was bought to demo my resting wooden spoons, but my wife has a smaller one that she uses every week. [...]

- I notice this did not get really good reviews.
I got this with a Christmas gift certificate this past Christmas and I love mine.I have had no problems with it at all.I do not put it in the dishwasher though and do not put any of my other pots/pans in either...I have always washed them by hand like my mom taught me....I came from a big family and the dishwasher was reserved for plates, glasses and utensils. I usually soak any of my pans that might require a brillo pad.I haven't used a brillo in forever.I have not made tomato sauce (gravy) ... Read More

- a huge soup pot
it has great conductivity and an excellent shape - it is not quite as heavy as the best Calphalon, but since the pot is so big, that is probably a good thing

- Fantastic Sauce Pot!
Calphalon's products are always impressive, and this one was no different. A few days after receiving the pot, I made spaghetti sauce with a variety of vegetables from scratch. The sauce never burned on the bottom and cooked thoroughly throughout. I can't wait to go through my current stocks of the leftover sauce and try a new recipe!
