Contemporary Design. Ultra-Durable Nonstick.
With its sleek, curving style, this nonstick sauce pan lends an elegant aesthetic to your kitchen.
How to Cook with Nonstick
Never use cooking spray. Aerosol cooking spray leaves a gummy residue that is difficult to remove, and that residue will cause food to stick. Instead, use an oil mister filled with olive or vegetable oil, or dab a bit of oil on a paper towel and carefully wipe the interior of the pan.
Use the correct heat setting. Use low heat for warming, simmering and preparing sauces; use medium heat for frying, grilling, sautéing, searing or stir-frying; use high heat for boiling or reducing liquids.
Preheat the pan. Nonstick cookware can take a minute or two longer to preheat compared to aluminum or stainless steel cookware. For best results, make sure your nonstick pan is heated to the proper temperature before adding food.

The non stick surface is great and appears to be thickly coated, but time will tell how long it wears. The lid is a medium weight glass and the top handle is riveted onto the glass so it will never loosen or need tightening. Same with the very sturdy pot handle, which is also a very nice length. And the straining feature is really great, most of the time eliminating the need to use a colander or other strainer. And if not used for straining, take the lid off and soups or other liquids pour easily from the spout on either side of the pan. This is a very well designed pan.
I'm going to begin the replacement process of other pans that I've bought that were cheaper and flimsy and light weight. You get what you pay for, and this in my opinion is a moderately priced pan well worth the money.
I bought this pan as a replacement for the older one that I used well for several years and finally succeeded in burning. It took me good several months to find the replacement and whatever I tried to use in the interim was not as handy as this pan. Now that I bought this pan again, I'll take the best care of it, because its convenience can't be overrated.

Creía que la vaporera era mas pequeña, me lleve una sorpresa porque es todo lo contrario es grande, lo que permite cocinar mayor cantidad de alimentos y al igual que la vaporera, es super amplia.
Lo que recomiendo siempre es seguir los cuidadoz que viene en la caja para que duren este producto, ya tengo un batería de la linea contemporary de CALPHALON y son muy buena y no se me han rallado en estos ultimos 9 meses. son geniales.
