only used it once so far, but so far so good! it's nice and big and very lightweight.

Really like the pot. Nonstick, dishwasher safe, oven safe, refrigerator ok. Nice to be able to drain pasta from pot.

We wore out our original 7 qt. Innumerable batches of chile, spaghetti, red beans. This replacement looks to be even better than the original.

I like the size of the pot, the non-stick surface, the lid with drain, the pouring spouts on opposite sides on the pot, the shape of the pot and lid handles. In my opinion, the design and thought that went into this line of Calphalon pots and the attention to detail was truly exceptional.
