Kitchen & Housewares : Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid

Rating: - Oh, just buy it!
I carefully read many of the reviews here (many thanks to all contributors) especially the negative ones and I'm glad I purchased this pan! One reviewer noted that the bottom isn't quite flat -- that's not been my experience, and this is important since I have a smooth cooktop. it is a very nice weight, and isn't completely nonstick, which is nice when you want to make a pan sauce. However, very easy to clean with soap and water and a nylon pad for stubborn bits. I genuinely use this pan just about every day! Wish I had bought two.

Rating: - It does not work for me.
I trusted allot of reviewers of this product but it did not work for me. After following all of the instructions this pan is useless, everything sticks to it. It does not meter what I try to make. I gave it one star because I can not give it no stars and it will make a nice planter when I drill couple of holes through it...

OK for the price(around $30.00). But as a long time owner of the old commercial pans made in Toledo OH, these just don't compare in weight or quality. I've had my old pans for 20+ years and still use them daily. Commercial means that they are Industrial Grade cookware. These are NOT, they are home use grade pans. As a Chef I know the difference, I work with commercial grade cookware daily. These pans are made in China. They are Not shoddy just not what the company used to sell as commercial.

Rating: - It sticks
What a disappointment. Calphalon shouldn't advertise non-stick with the hard anondize products. The fact you need to read all these mixed reviews that are so opposite each other, demonstrates that this is not a premier product.

Now, I am afraid to by a new non-stick pan from Calphalon even though my past pans were great! Buyer beware!!!!
