• Deep casserole pan with domed lid for braising, baking, stewing
• Made of heavy aluminum for quick, even heating and no hot spots or warping
• Anodized for hardness and stick-resistance
• Riveted, cast-stainless-steel, oven-safe handles resist heat on stovetop
• Lifetime warranty against defects; made in China

With a diameter of 11-1/2 inches, a depth of 5-1/4 inches, and a high domed lid, this 7-quart pan is sized for a family's braising, baking, and stewing tasks. Chili for a soccer team, cassoulet for a family reunion, curried chicken for a block party--all these are well within the pan's capacity. Though it's not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. Textured cast-stainless-steel handles resist heating on the stovetop and go safely into the oven. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan heats evenly and quickly with no hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

The 7-Qt. Chef's Casserole with Lid is designed to be used first on the stove top and then in the oven. Use it on top of the stove to braise and sear, and once every ingredient is added to the pan, it can be covered and used like a Dutch Oven to complete the cooking process by baking.Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance and lasting durability. Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum that distributes heat evenly and eliminates hot spots as you cook. And because it's made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. Hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to food. Handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop and are balanced with such precision that even full pans are easy to manage and carry.

This is more of a question and not a review. I would like to know if you can use this pot on an induction cooktop? Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

I just love my hard-anodized 7-quart pan!! It is a great size for many things. And I can't express how much I love every piece of my commercial hard-anodized Calphalon!!! One of the best purchases!

I purchased this product for it was a good price.

It is a beautiful piece to cook with anything from rice, pulav to vegetable to sauces. It is a perfect size for 1-4 people cooking. The shape is such that it can go from the stove to tabletop and is very easy to clean.

Highly recommend to buy.

i keep only the best stuff in my dry box for rafting. this is the favorite as it will vertually cook evry thing. eggs, steak, spagetti for a group of 30, works as a great cold cereal bowl.. and you can do the dishes in it as well. comeing into its 3rd river season and still no problems.

I Love my 7 quart casserole pot!!! It does such a nice job and I don't have to "kick up" the heat with this product and I can get a GREAT meal from it.
