This 3-qt. chef's pan can be used for heating soups or for cooking vegetables. The lid helps trap moisture so flavors remain inside. A side helper handle facilitates lifting. About Calphalon Contemporary Stainless: now fashion-focused home chefs with a taste for all things modern have a line of cookware created just for them: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless. With its clean lines, smooth, lustrous surfaces and sleek, curvy silhouettes, it's the first cookware ever to bring stunning, contemporary design into the home kitchen. This new line features tri-ply construction, the choice of many professional chefs. A layer of heavy-gauge aluminum (sandwiched between the stainless interior and exterior) provides superb conductivity and even heating. The pans are ideal for stovetop use, in the oven and under the broiler. Sparkling glass lids let you monitor the cooking progress along the way. Sculpted handles stay cool on the stovetop. And for added convenience, the pans are dishwasher-safe.
