This pan is a good example of Calphalon quality and the design is very versatile. Start a saute on the stove, add ingredients, then put it in the oven for a quick roast or broil. I am also planning to use this to roast pork and chicken in the oven.
The metal handles stay suprisingly cool, I have only had to use a potholder when getting it out of the oven.
I hate washing dishes, but this pan cleans like a dream.
The only thing I don't like about it is the high price!

I have to say that having NEVER used this kind of cookware (i.e. anodized aluminum) before, my first experience making my old favorite pan-fried chicken breast was very positive.
