KittAmor Non-Stick Aluminum Dutch Ovens Review

KittAmore is a part of a Japanese company called "Daikin" and this 8 qt dutch oven is pretty good for the price. Do NOT, however, invest in the "5 qt" size as it is the same pot, except much shorter. This 8 qt has enough height, for instance, to brown meatballs without them splattering all over, but not so much height that would make turning the meatballs difficult. It is a lightweight aluminum pot with an excellent base that heats very quickly. Use only on medium heat! (This is a very hot pan!) It is nonstick (called "Silkware Exceed") inside and out. So no high heat, do not heat the pan dry, and don't use food release spray (like PAM!) NO non stick pan can survive these three things: high heat, heating a dry (empty) pan, or using non stick sprays! (Washing by hand is also recommended.) The lid fits tightly and is vented, and the pan is gently curved inside, not square on the bottom, making stirring a lot easier. Also, when kept covered, the pot keeps the contents nice and warm for a long time, so is great for a buffet or potluck. On the stove the pot heats quickly and evenly, and the (very nice) handles stay cool. In the oven (never more than 350 degrees) the handles get as HOT as the pan. Overall, a good everyday pan that, if treated with respect, should last many years. For $34.99, that ain't bad!

Simply Calphalon SA8785HP Nonstick 5-Quart Chili Pot Review

I think Calphalon has missed a bet in attaching the label "chili" to this versatile pot, because it suggests that its best use is limited to making chili. But mine is well-loved and used almost daily for cooking virtually everything -- chili, yes, but also soup, sauteed fresh veggies, simmer-all-day pasta sauce, pot roast, ETC. I also use it when I need a high-sided skillet. The heating is very even, making it a lovely choice for carmelizing onions and other vegetables, as well as meat. I love this pot so much that I have given a number of them as gifts.
Calphalon calls another pan, sort of a flat-bottomed wok, its "everyday pan." I have that one, too, but it has drifted to the bottom of the stack because I DON'T use it everyday. They should have applied that label to this pot instead instead of the "chili" label.
