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

Rating: - Great Value for Great Cookware
Great Value for Great Cookware, I have not had problems with sticking. This pan is now my favorite to use when I intend to make a gravy or pan sauce. Deglaze after use and clean-up is a snap. I highly recommend this line.

I bought this Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid in order to try to get away from non-stick surfaces that may affect your health. My health is in greater jeopardy now because I want to jump out the window after using this piece of junk. I've used 12" non-sticks to cook eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, etc. for 25 years, and I'll be buyiing a new non-stick today to replace this garbage product. I read all about cooking with anodized cookware on the instructions and on the Calphalon website. Cooking with oil is a deathwish in this pan, food sticks like it is coated with contact cement. The best results came from cooking with butter, but who wants to do that all the time? I am severely disappointed with this item, really hoped I would be able to move away from non-stick surface coatings

My error for not reading all the info. I was star dazzled by the price.

I have not cooked with this pan yet, but not looking forward to it if it performs the same as the skillet I received with it.

This is a NOT a nonstick pan.

This is my 2nd Calphalon-type pan. This one sticks a little more than my other, not sure why. I think it would be a good shape for stir frying, but it is an unusual shape and although I will keep it, not sure I would recommend it due to the unusual shape. It's not as big as a Wok either. This did not come with instructions due to it was a "return" or something, therefore, marked down in price. Also, the lid handle gets hot and you need a pot holder to remove it from the pot while cooking. All in all, its not great, but I do like the Calphalon brand in general. I'm just not sure what exactly this was designed for!
