Update: After 3 years, still 5 stars. Have used this dutch oven on the stove top, on a grill's side burner, inside an outdoor gas grill as well as inside an oven. Cleans up well with Bar Keeper's Friend powder. No warping and no problems with the cookware. Size is great for corn on the cob which we typically cook on a gas grill's side burner. Keep in mind a full 8 quart dutch over will weigh quite a few pounds. We like this cookware so well we purchased a smaller sized stainless steel dutch oven for use at our little condo.
I've been using my new Calphalon Dutch oven for a couple of months now and overall like its versatility. I LIKE that it is dishwasher safe and the capacity is a slightly larger addition to what I already have. I do NOT like the glass lid -- I prefer a solid metal lid with a glass see-through and also lid handle padding. The handles are small for the size of the pot, especially when filled with boiling water, making it a bit unwieldy. They also do not stay cool as my other Dutch oven does with rubberized handles there as well as on the lid. It's a good enough pan and the dishwasher safe is huge to me, so though my "old" pan which I fortunately still have is better, the new one is slightly larger and more functional for big batches. (Old style no longer available in case you're wondering why I didn't just get another.) Foods cook in comparable way to other stainless pans I have -- very little sticking and a short soak will loosen any particles.
