| The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while offering the high-quality construction associated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, attractive look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or special occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalons original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line--but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also convenient is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them. This stainless-steel double boiler is perfect for poaching fish, melting chocolate for desserts, or warming cream-based soups without heating them to boiling. The boiler has five perforations encircling it to draw steam heat in from the boiling water in your lower pan, heating food gently without burning or overcooking. Two ergonomic brushed stainless-steel loop handles stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the insert for durability. This cookware is dishwasher-safe and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde |
