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

Rating: - Great value!
This is an excellent all around pan good for many uses as long as you are aware that this is NOT a non-stick pan,and should not be put in the dishwasher, I got this in the Friday sale and it is a great value for the price.

I use it primarily for stovetop meals or stews, braising or other sauce based dishes. Keep your temperatures under control (not too high) and use some oil or pam and sticking should not be a major problem.

Most the complaints I have seen involve misuse or abuse of the pan. If you want it to last treat it like a $ 200 pan. Funny how we abuse an inexpensive pan like this then complain when it doesn't last. With a little proper use and care this is the best buy in cookware I've seen in a long time.

Rating: - terrrible pan
I got this pan in late Feb. With only one month of light use, the pan is ruined already. I only hand wash the pan so there is no reason for it to be damaged. But the inside of the pan is sticky with residue build up and blotchy. It looks like some coating has flaked off and it cannot be good to cook with it any longer. I will try to return it.

Rating: - The Worst Pan .....
that I have ever purchased. EVERYTHING sticks to the bottom and it requires a long soak to just to loosen it up enough to clean. After trying it half a dozen times both on stovetop and oven I cleaned it one last time and gave it to GoodWill.

Rating: - rusts and discolored!
I've had this pan for 2 years now, but I'd say I'm very dissapointed with it. The pan was rusted with orangish colored n it and had a rough surface. It was also discolored. Not worth buying...

Rating: - It is pretty ok
The size is big enough for your party. However, your food is easy to be attached with this pan. A reasonable price for me
