Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 4.5-Quart Covered Sauce Pan

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.
