It incorporates the beauty of a mirror-polished, 18/10 stainless steel exterior with the superior conductivity and performance of a permanently bonded, heavy gauge aluminum core.

Tri-Ply cookware is completely dishwasher safe! Manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review
With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The durable, 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. This 3-quart, round-sided chef's pan has a domed, glass lid so cooking can be monitored without releasing heat. The lid is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, ensuring the pan not only can be used atop the stove for sauces, deep-frying, and stir-frying but can go into the oven for braising and stewing. The handle stays cool on the stovetop. The pan's rim is flared to facilitate dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to mirror-finish outside for beauty and wears a satin-finish inside to conceal inevitable utensil marks. It goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing better preserves the mirror-finish, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Love the Pot; the Handle, Not So Much June 28, 2008
I love this pot, I use it more than any other. It's perfect particularly for sauces or gravies or anything involving a roux because the wisk can get into the corners (something that, ironically, one can't do with a so-called "sauce" pan). It heats evenly, has a nice weight (which you'll want if you cook; if you don't cook and want light, get Mirro), never sticks (if it sticks for you, your heat's up too high), and it's easy to clean (though occasionally you'll need to use Bar Keeper's Friend). One can also "flip" with it.
The handle, unfortunately, is the same sort of handle used by all the higher-end cookware manufacturers these days and is too rounded, when it should be more flat (like what you find on very old iron pans). This can create problems if you're trying to pour or drain using only one hand (the handles on the old Magnalite were near-perfect).
All things considered, though, if my house were burning down, this is the first pan I'd grab.
 fine multipurpose pan! June 26, 2008
This is my latest Tri-Ply acquisition, and it's wonderful. I've used it for lightly sauteing a big batch of vegetables- (think buttery sugarsnap peas for 8, broccoli and cauliflower with melted cheddar, etc), for a hearty cream soup for 4, pasta primavera, spaghetti sauce, cheesy grits, and much more. The rounded sides make whisking and reducing or thickening a sauce easy, and it's perfect for browning or softening chopped vegetables like onions before making a sauce in the same pan. The nice close-fitting glass lid reduces the temptation to let the steam out while peeking. I use it at least twice a week, more when we have houseguests. Like every other Tri-Ply pan, it's very efficient- never have to use more than a medium-low gas flame. It cleans easily- soak, suds, and swish, and things don't stick at all when I remember to gently warm the pot (and let any cold ingredients come to room temp)first. Good pot, highly recommended.
Great pot for the price June 4, 2008
I bought this pot as my first "high quality" pot about 5 months ago and have loved cooking with it. Before this, I had been cooking with cheap pots from Target, etc. and they would always start chipping/rusting after about 6 months to a year of use. I got tired of that and decided it would be worthwhile to invest in better pots. After a lot of research, I decided that Calphalon is a good brand and the tri-ply series is a good line for bang for the buck.
The tri-ply cooking surface is great for cooking with its even heating. The shape of the chef's pan makes it ideal for stirring any stew or vegetables. It also works for pasta, steaming, etc.
The tri-ply stainless steel smooth surface is good for both non-stick cooking and easy cleaning. There may be some water marks from cooking but that is just for vanity. The cooking quality does not decrease when it looks slightly colored.
Another great aspect of this is the lid. It helps for steaming and boiling and is a very sturdy quality lid that helps in a variety of circumstances.
All in all, this was my first Calphalon tri-ply purchase and I would definitely do it all over again and plan to add other products in this line to my collection.
3 Qt. pan April 22, 2008
A very nice addition to my stainless cookware. Glass top makes it easy to see inside.
A surprising good pan. March 21, 2008

I have Al-clad, Emerilware, Calphalon Anodized, This is the first Tri-ply from Calphalon, and this is a very nice pan. I had planned on purchasing one from Al-Clad but it was just out of my price range. So I bought this pan, and I'm finding that it cooks as well as my Al-clad tri-ply pans. At a third of the cost. This is a great deal. If your in the market for a sauier pan, or a pan that requires alot of stirring, I would get this again in a heart beat.
