Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 4.5 Qt. Sauce Pan with Steamer Insert



Nice saucepot/steamer, if a bit hefty
I bought it replacing a cheap old stainless saucepan/steamer whose handle fell off (after 12 years ;)

This calphalon pot is actually a very nice size - the steamer is actually wide enough to handle asparagus spears with just the very tips broken off. The nonstick surface seems very durable.

However, it is pretty heavy, if that's important to you.

Great steamer
Pots with steamer inserts are not that common anymore. I like that this pot has a wider, shallower configuration than my previous steamer so the veggies cook more evenly. The glass lid means I don't have to keep taking the lid off, losing all the steam, to see when the food is done.

Love it.
It's big enough to boil a dozen eggs, and the steamer works great. The lid also fits my 10" Omlette pan. It cleans up great as well.
