I wasn't sure about the Calphalon Tri-ply Stainless Roasting Pan when I had purchased it. It's great in the oven and even on the stovetop. I was impressed with this pan. Before I disliked roasting but with this pan, it's terrific. Even the clean up is easy. It's a great buy.

Rating: - Excellent Buy
This Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Roasting Pan roasting pan is a terrific buy at $59 (current list price at Amazon). I bought one for Thanksgiving and am very satisfied with its performance in roasting a turkey and roasting beets.

With the turkey, the drippings browned nicely and evenly without scorching (at 325°). The handles are sturdy, and cleanup was as easy as any of my other stainless steel cookware (the rest is All-Clad). I have not yet tried this pan on my stovetop, but I anticipate it working well. The bottom is thick with an aluminum core (same as All-Clad), and it should conduct heat as evenly as one could hope. The beets roasted perfectly, too, but a good roasting pan is not required for that task.

Cook's Illustrated has not yet reviewed the Calphalon Tri-Ply Roasting Pan; I'm anxious to see how it fares. I can't say that this pan is necessarily better or worse than the All-Clad Stainless Steel Roti because I haven't tried the All-Clad in the kitchen, but I can say this one works fine. You can probably guess at the price difference.

For the money, this is an excellent roasting pan.

Rating: - Holiday Hype?
"It's that time of year" as the song goes. Another holiday gathering, another holiday meal and time to gather the holiday hardware. No beter place to find a great bargain than the internet...right? I thought so. And if you've read as far as this review you know the two contenders for quality bakeware are All Clad and Calphalon (I read these same reviews). The Calphalon pan is touted as being U.S. made and carrying a retail price tag of $220. You probably already know the score on All Clad by now. Desiring to keep as much money in my pocket as possible at this time of year and still wishing to obtain a quality product I opted for the Calphalon. Opon delivery the first thing that met my eye was a phrase on the box stating "Select Savings". Hmmm. How does $220 translate into savings, and "select" at that? The next thing I discovered was the "Made in China" label. Wow. China, Michigan maybe (dunno)? I inspected the roaster and frankly this is another metal pan, stainless...so what. I have pans with aluminum cores and they have a robustness to them that this is lacking. Finally where does the $220 number come from? Not on the Calphalon link. Fact is the pan isn't shown there at all. I did find it on anoter site. $120. That makes more sense. It is worth that. So I saved 20 bucks. Deal of the season? Hmmm. Was this review helpful? Happy Holidays.
