Overview
An aluminum core sandwiched between two stainless layers spreads heat through this Calphalon Dutch oven for even browning. A domed glass lid with inside points drips condensation back onto meat, and brushed handles stay cool on the stove.
Stovetop searing and oven braising in a pot you can dishwasher clean is its strength. It is lighter than cast iron, so it holds less heat for long, slow braises.
Who it's for
Home cooks making stews, chili and soups get a responsive pot they can wash in the dishwasher. Bread bakers and slow-braise fans may prefer heavy cast iron.
Pros and cons
- Even heating from tri-ply
- Glass lid shows cooking
- Self-basting lid design
- Safe with all utensils
- Oven temperature limit not listed
- Capacity not in bullets or specs
- Less heat mass than cast iron
Performance notes
The aluminum core spreads heat quickly across the base and walls, which governs browning. Stainless does not hold heat like cast iron, so adding cold food drops the temperature more. Points on the lid gather steam and drip it evenly back over food.
