Product Description
Caramelize onions, quickly sear or saute your favorite seafood or meat and prepare deliciously crisp potatoes using this 3-qt. saute pan with lid, the one that combines the beauty of stainless steel with the superior performance of aluminum. Interior and exterior layers of surgical-quality, 18/10 stainless steel surround an inner core of highly conductive, heavy gauge aluminum. The aluminum core spreads heat evenly and responds to temperature changes quickly. The softly brushed, stainless interior provides clear visual clues when cooking and naturally masks signs of wear. And the mirror-polished exterior provides the brilliant look stainless lovers admire. The ergonomic "Cool V" handle design provides superior balance and feel, and vents heat away from the long handle, keeping it touchably cool on the stovetop. A domed, tempered glass lid lets you monitor cooking at a glance as it re-circulates moisture and nutrients back into the food.
Amazon.com Review
With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the best 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 saute 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 a stove for cooking chicken and simmering asparagus but can go into the oven for braising. Handles stay cool on the stovetop and the pan's rim is flared to facilitate dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to a 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

Money well spent! May 6, 2008
I was lucky enough to buy this saute pan for $14 at Dillards in 2004. Hard to believe, I know. I have enjoyed this pan so much, and its glass lid hasn't been a problem for me. Sure, the All-Clad is great, but when you can get this one for much less and still get great performance, then why not do it?
I haven't had trouble with discoloration, but that may be because I am cursed with an electric stove. Cleaning around the rivets isn't a problem because I just grab the vegetable brush and use it. Works like a charm. Otherwise I use a Dobie and Seventh Generation Dish Liquid.
This pan allows for the most amazing fond development and will go from stovetop to oven without a problem. It is an amazing piece of cookware, and anyone who has a problem cleaning it or cooking with it is usually an inexperienced cook.
Exceptional addition to any kitchen February 12, 2006

Unfortunately, this pan is no longer sold as an open stock item, and can only be found in sets, such as the 8- and 13- piece sets. Fortunately, I was able to buy it from a Marketplace seller for a very agreeable amount of $50. However, I do see that Amazon is selling it for $150, which is vastly inflated, but takes into account the fact that it can't be obtained without buying the 13 piece, $399 set.
This pan is just the right size for sauteeing, stir frying, you name it. It's not huge like it's big brother, the 5 qt. saute pan, but is suited to most normal cooking. The walls are deep enough to contain many dishes, which is nice. It's a bit heavy to hold one-handed (better for those fore-arm muscles!), and I appreciate the addition of a small handle on the other side.
Of most importance is its lid, for some reason, which Calphalon does not sell separately. It can fit snugly over this pan, the wok, the 10" omelette pan, AND the 8 qt. stockpot. Hey, it even fits some of my old pots as well. Thus, increasing the worth of this item.
Really, a terrific addition to any kitchen.
A note about cleaning- after extended use, there will be tarnishing and brown blemishes (at least on my gas range). To get rid of these, do NOT use Bon Ami because it's too gentle and doesn't get rid of stains. Best way to go is Barkeeper's Friend, about $2.50 at your local supermarket, or Cameo Stainless Steel Cleaner. However, Cameo is more abrasive than Barkeeper's Friend, and WILL reduce the mirror polish of these pans. Barkeeper's is the way to go- remember to ALWAYS rub in a circular manner- back and forth will scratch the surfaces.
