Calphalon Commercial hard-anodized pans are made for the more serious cook who is looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This large-size, 12-quart stockpot is good for soup, stews, and pasta, and its heavy-gauge aluminum construction also stands up to deep frying. The looped handles are easy to grip and stay cooler than you might expect, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan, but it's still a good idea to keep hot pads nearby. The nonporous and nonreactive hard-anodized surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food. It's also tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils and vigorous whisking. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides you the flexibility to take the pan to the oven or broiler. But do remember to hand wash your Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish and their use voids the lifetime warranty.

Anolon 7 Quart Covered Windsor Stockpot

Hard-anodized aluminum is among the most prized cookware materials, offering the dual advantage of quick, even heating and long-lasting durability. This 7-quart covered windsor stockpot from Anolon proudly boasts these features, but adds a specially formulated nonstick coating inside and out to release foods easily during cleanup. The result is a striking stockpot that cooks efficiently on the stovetop, yet looks perfectly at home in a gourmet kitchen. Its straight, deep sides give extra capacity for reducing sauces, boiling pasta, or making stocks, soups, or a batch of chili.

The stockpot's hard-anodized aluminum construction not only heats quickly, but also eliminates the "hot spots" that plague cheaper cookware due to its thick side and bottom walls. For safe, comfortable transport to and from the oven, the stockpot comes equipped with two beautifully styled HollowCore stay-cool side handles made of professional 18/10 cast stainless steel. The cookware's break-resistant dome-shaped glass lid, which features a polished stainless-steel rim and convenient loop handle, allows for constant monitoring without losing heat, flavors, or nutrients present in the pot. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F (including the lid), the stockpot measures approximately 12 by 16 by 12 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Tall and narrow, this big pot is ideally shaped for simmering stocks by reducing evaporation and directing rising bubbles through layered ingredients to extract flavor from them. The stockpot measures 9-1/2 inches high and 9-3/4 inches in diameter, and is constructed of heavy aluminum so it heats evenly without hot spots. Though not nonstick, the matte-finish pot is hard-anodized inside and out for stick resistance as well as hardness and durability. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. The contoured, textured, cast-stainless-steel loop handles, as well as the flat lid's handle, stay cool on the stovetop and are oven-safe to 700 degrees F. The pot should be hand washed with mild detergent. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects.

The perfect pot for soups, pasta, and stocks. The Calphalon One Infused Anodized 6.5-quart pot features a stainless-steel pasta insert that is great for straining stocks, potatoes, and of course pasta.

The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior is a thick aluminum core that spreads heat evenly across the bottom of the pan and all the way up its sides. The interior is 18/10 stainless steel, highly polished so it's stick- as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.

This 8-quart stockpot makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless is so popular. Though not classically tall and narrow, it simmers soups and stocks and accommodates enough ragu Bolognese to feed all the relatives. And it's ideal for braising foods on the stovetop or in the oven under its polished lid. Because of the aluminum core on the bottom, foods cook uniformly, even though the pot is 5 inches deep (11 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. A rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended.

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.

The automatic lid-locking system prevents the lid from ever opening while the cooker is under pressure. The stainless steel pot will not interact with food, and the aluminum sandwich base conducts heat superbly, resulting in perfectly even browning and rapid heat absorption.
