I have it and while I don't use it on day to day basis, I love it. Any
time I need to cook something in large quantity or try to
evaporate/reduce quickly, I am glad I have this pot. I also used it this
summer for cooking large quantities of apple and pear sauce.

I also bought it on sale (the Commercial line of Calphalon has been
discontinued for a while).
