Disappointing, August 15, 2009

I have had Calphalon's nonstick soup pot for a few years and am now searching for a nice shiny stainless steel pot without any nonstick surface. This is the last nonstick pot I will buy. I have stainless steel pots that I have had for decades. Not so this nonstick pot whose finish has begun to stick and look suspect on the bottom. Mind you I take care of my pots.

I really like this pot. It has a large base surface area so if you need to saute or brown onions or meat, it doesn't crowd the pieces. It would probably also work well for deep frying. The non-stick surface makes cleanup a snap. The lid is tight-fitting and the glass allows you to check for overboiling.

This is not as heavy a pot as I would like, but it is adequate. I also have problems with it spinning on my ceramic cooktop so I have to be very careful when I stir the contents.
