Amazon.com Product Description
With its mirror-polished 18/10 stainless-steel construction, satin interior finish, and traditional shape, this 8-quart stockpot is perfect for hardy soups, stocks, pasta, chili, and more. A heavy-gauge aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of steel comprises the pot's base and extends up its sides to ensure even heat distribution and quick response to temperature changes, whether slowly simmering or rapidly boiling. The pot's tempered glass domed lid reinforced with a stainless-steel rim allows for monitoring food at a glance, while its ergonomic Cool V handles offer a safe, comfortable grip during stovetop cooking. The pot is oven- and broiler-safe up to 700 degrees F, and the lid can withstand temperatures up to 450 degrees F. Dishwashers safely clean the cookware, but over time can dull surfaces; hand washing is the best option to preserve the polished shine. The 8-quart stockpot measures approximately 11 by 11 by 7 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews
"Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!" (Lewis Carroll)
This is a great stockpot. I had "borrowed" my mother-in-law's 6qt Wolfgang Puck Tri-Ply for several years and finally decided to return it. After using her tri-ply for so long, I knew I didn't want to go back to any other material. I was nervous about not finding one in my price range (AllClad for example is way too much for my modest income). When I saw this on Amazon for such a great price, I was concerened that the 8qt would be too big for my little kitchen. Since I couldn't find anything comparable, I went ahead and ordered it. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised that it isn't much bigger than the 6qt Wolfgang.
The glass lid is fun because I can watch my stuff cook without lifting the lid. The handles stick out enough so that I don't burn my knuckels. They are also strategically placed to balance the weight, empty or full. I didn't notice that on the Wolfgang model.
In anycase, I have fried bits of meat on the bottom and then added liquid for soups and sauces. I have added cold stuff to hot and not had a problem with loosing heat.
This is a sturdy pot. The stainless steel is thick and it easy is to clean. It heats quickly when your hungry and can simmer sauce for hours without complaining.
If you are looking for a stockpot (especially for spaghetti sauce), go with the Calphalon - you can saute tomatoes on the bottom without any concerns.
A pleasure to cook with
The first thing you notice about this pan is the weight. This is due to the thick bottom and solid sides. This construction allows for very even heat distribution and excellent results in cooking. With no "hot spots", there were no burns and clean up was easy. This is not the cheapest 8 qt. stock pot sold by Amazon, but it is one of the better ones and is a very good value. For boiling water, the cheap pots are fine, but for soups and sauces, invest in a good pot like this one.
Terrrrific,Tasty Tomato Sauce
Have you stopped making tomato sauce from scratch because it sticks to the bottom of the pan and burns if there isn't frequent stirring? Are you tired of the sauce from the jar? Don't fret anymore! This wonderful Calphalon Stockpot does it all. The sauce thickens from the bottom up without sticking. No more burned taste. No more wasting precious time making all those frequent trips to the stove to stir. I am so glad that I invested in this quality 8-Quart Calphalon Stockpot and so is my husband.
