With a high-end price tag, there aren’t a lot of reviews from verified purchasers at Amazonat the time of this writing – but here’s a summary of the available comments for all sizes of the M’Cook stewpan. This combination creates not only high performance cookware with a stylish and easy-to-clean surface, it’s also designed to work on all stovetops – gas, electric, halogen, and induction.

In 2008, they began production of their own line of cast aluminum cookware featuring an Ecolon ceramic nonstick coating. The Slide nonstick surface proves to be completely nonstick, which makes cleaning with a soft sponge and soapy water easy. And the surface also holds up admirably when put through the dishwasher on a regular basis. The Unison gets top grades for its quick, even heating, quality construction, and the efficient, durable nonstick surface. Today, the brand still holds a preeminent position in this niche, and markets several lines of cookware. This attractive 4-quart soup pot is from the Unison line, and it is made of the same strong and durable anodized aluminum Calphalon started with.
They’re well-positioned and large enough to easily grab even when wearing thick oven mitts.

Middle of the pack height- and width-wise, it’s a great Goldilocks pot that doesn’t take up too much stove space. The mirror-stain finish is shiny and impressive looking, and the “Cool Grip” handles stay relatively cool on the stove.
