Simply Calphalon 7-Quart Nonstick Dutch Oven with Cover

When I bought my calphalon kettles, I failed to notice that the set included a 5 quart dutch oven - which was smaller than I was used to but serviceable.
I searched on line and found the Simply Calphalon 7 quart dutch oven at a good price AND got free shipping.
It is everything it promised to be - even cooking, easy cleaning, clear cover to monitor soups and stews.
Problem? I was cooking 5 quarts of food and it fed my family...now I cook 7 quarts and we eat that too. Maybe I need to go low fat...

This is a nice high-capacity pan at a good price.

Pros:

* Insulated handles
* Large capacity
* Lightweight
* The non-stick coat really works, and seems durable
* The lid is nice and fits pretty well

Cons:

* The insulation doesn't cover all of the handles, so if you're not careful with your fingers, it's easy to get burned
* The box didn't include any user manual, care guide or warranty information - all you get is the box, the pan, and some plastic wrap

This is a prefect size pot for our family, and is getting significant use. We eat a lot of soups and stews. Something we really appreciate are the insulated handles that allow you to pick up the pot, while hot, without using oven pads or mitts. A terrific kitchen tool at a very good proce. We plan on extending our purchases of Calphalon cookware.
