Calphalon 8-qt. Contemporary Stainless Stockpot

Calphalon's 8-qt. stockpot is the right size for your large pots of chili, a homemade chicken noodle soup or batch of seafood gumbo. Two side handles facilitate lifting especially when full. The lid seals in juices for flavorful results. About Calphalon Contemporary Stainless: now fashion-focused home chefs with a taste for all things modern have a line of cookware created just for them: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless. With its clean lines, smooth, lustrous surfaces and sleek, curvy silhouettes, it's the first cookware ever to bring stunning, contemporary design into the home kitchen. This new line features tri-ply construction, the choice of many professional chefs. A layer of heavy-gauge aluminum (sandwiched between the stainless interior and exterior) provides superb conductivity and even heating. The pans are ideal for stovetop use, in the oven and under the broiler. Glass lids lock in the flavors and allow for monitoring as you cook. And for added convenience, the pans are dishwasher-safe.
