It can also be used for soups and sauces. Its domed stainless-steel lid collects moisture and returns it to foods during cooking. Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick cookware is coated with an especially durable, multilayered nonstick material. (For long life, use only plastic, nylon, and wooden utensils.) The pan's matte-finish exterior is anodized for hardness and won't chip, crack, or peel. Polished handles of cast stainless steel are multiriveted for durability and resist heating on a stovetop. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.--Fred BrackCustomer ReviewsEssential Addition to a Calphalon Collection. The Calphalon Commercial (not Professional) Nonstick pots and pans are wonderful. Their exteriors are a heavyweight anodized aluminum, and their interiors have a durable nonstick coating. The 7-quart casserole pan with lid is an essential addition to a Calphalon starter set because it is so versatile. You can use it to cook large recipes of homemade soups, stews, and casseroles. These pots can go from stovetop to table to refrigerator to freezer (although I rarely use them for freezer storage--I prefer plastic containers or ziplock bags.) I find they work well on both electric and gas ranges, too. The nonstick coating makes clean-up a breeze, but you must remember to always use plastic kitchen utensils and serving spoons with these pots. Calphalon makes many plastic kitchen utensils which are quite nice, or you can use wooden cooking spoons, too. I wash all my Calphalon pots and pans by hand and never put them in the dishwasher. I like the Calphalon Commercial nonstick coating because I can saute my mirepoixso easily, and use a bit less oil (either olive or grapeseed), and I can add Parmigiano Reggiano to my minestrone and not worry about the cheese sticking to the bottom of the pot.
