Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Sauce with Cover - nearly perfect

Love this pan. It is beautiful, and the glass lid is fun since I am one of those who always likes to peek at what I'm cooking.

Pros: Looks, functions beautifully, fantastic value for the price.

Cons: It is a bit heavy when full, which might be a concern for people with less strength. I can see why larger ones have helper handles. Also the mirror-like finish on the bottom did scratch on first use, I think from sliding it while full on the over rack.

I've been wanting to get the Calphalon Tri-Ply set, but I decided I should try it out first, and maybe a few other similar brands before I commit to a set. So far, I love this pan. I used it to make a small batch of stew, browned on stove and baked very slowly in the oven. So far, so good!
