Looks nice, works well, but made in China
By T. Johnson
I spent a lot of time researching saucepan's before purchasing the Calphalon Contemporary. I am in the process of replacing my old Wolfgang Puck set with higher end pieces. In the end, my choice came down to Calphalon and All-Clad. With careful shopping I could get an equivalent saucepan from either company for about the same price. However, the Calphalon glass lid is a plus, since they give you the ability to see the food at a glance while its cooking. Whenever I am choosing between products with similar price and quality, I generally try to buy goods made in the US. All-Clad saucepans are made in the US but the lids are made in China. I read several reviews stating that the Calphalon Contemporary line is made in the US. However, much to my disappointment, when I received the saucepan the box clearly said "Made in China." I really wish that Amazon would list the manufacturing location of products. If it had, I would not have purchased this since a US made alternative was available for the same price.Country of origin aside, this saucepan is very well-machined and finished. The modern streamlined design and glass lid are aesthetically pleasing. The pan handle stays cool even when boiling liquid for a long time, however the lid handle gets quite hot, but is still cool enough to quickly remove--you just wouldn't want to hold on to it for very long. The pan heats up quickly and evenly and the lid is a perfect fit. The saucepan size and iconic instructions (dishwasher safe, good for induction ovens, etc.) are nicely printed on the bottom of the pan, but I wonder how long these will last.So other than being disappointed about where this was manufactured, I am pleased with the product. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, because with manufacturing in China it really should be cheaper than it is.

Excellent Saucepan
By Ron
Everything about the Calphalon Contempory stainless saucepan speaks to quality workmanship. My wife loves it as much as the same model in the 2.5 quart size.
