It's my own fault but this pot is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I know, 5 qts. is 5 qts., but it sounded like a lot more than it really is. It is too small to make a big pot of chile or ham and beans in so I guess it will become one more pot buried in the back of the the cupboard. Calphalon is grossly overpriced but I needed a pan like this. It is apparantly being discontinued -- thus the low price. Otherwise, it is a fine product. We have a stock pot that is a decent size, but it is narrow and tall so I wanted one that would be easier for me to work with. This pot does the trick! I love it! It cleans easily and allows me to make the amount that I want/need for our family. I recommend it highly. I think Calphalon has missed a bet in attaching the label "chili" to this versatile pot, because it suggests that its best use is limited to making chili. But mine is well-loved and used almost daily for cooking virtually everything -- chili, yes, but also soup, sauteed fresh veggies, simmer-all-day pasta sauce, pot roast, ETC. I also use it when I need a high-sided skillet. The heating is very even, making it a lovely choice for carmelizing onions and other vegetables, as well as meat. I love this pot so much that I have given a number of them as gifts. I really like this pan , its got decent weight , heats nicely and is a great addition to my collection.User Reviews

Calphalon calls another pan, sort of a flat-bottomed wok, its "everyday pan." I have that one, too, but it has drifted to the bottom of the stack because I DON'T use it everyday. They should have applied that label to this pot instead instead of the "chili" label. Rating: Summary: Very Nice Pan At A Very Nice Price Comment:
