Calphalon Nonstick Frying Pan Set with Stay-Cool Handles, 8- and 10-Inch, Grey

Perfect skillets and truly non stick...if you are used to cooking stuff at a high heat on the burner, DON'T do it. No need to cook on high...maybe that is why some people complained that food stuck. Some of the photos that I saw in the 1* reviews had food stuck & looked as if the food was cooked way too high. I cook fried eggs, scrambled eggs, potatoes and rib eye steak and never once have I experienced sticking. I do know the instructions say NOT to use aresol sprays like Pam...they say only to use the pump type or mist type non stick products, so I do. The skillets are easy to hand wash (with soap & water) as well. I do not put my skillets in the dishwasher.

I have a complete set of the pots and pans with lids etc etc. I purchased these as an extension of that set. They are easy to clean, heat evenly and maintain that heat and if you use the proper utensils they remain non stick for a very long time. I usually add a bit of butter or oil of some kind to aid in the non stick but also for flavor. DO NOT clean with harsh detergent and always use a sponge or a non abrasive brush and they will stay nice and scratch free. Also, hot hot water is key in helping to breakdown any grease or residue. These pans are worth every penny you pay.

Bought as gift, recipient loves them - its my sister so she would tell me honestly :<)

The 10" pan is all you want from a nice, nice-stick pan. Thick walled, even heating, fast heating, durable. The handle remains cool, and despite the thickness of the walls it's not heavy. So all in all, and excellent pan. However, don't buy the set. While the 10" pan is pretty much perfect, the 8" pan's handle is about 2" too short. At first I couldn't figure out why they'd do this, then I realized that if the handle was the appropriate length, the pan would fall over. The handle is so short it's almost unusable, as it gets too hot that close to the pan. And I don't have very large hands. This would be a 5-star product if not for the handle length of the 8" pan.

The only reason I'm having to buy these pans, is because of my son-in-law. He has ruined my other pans by NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. These are the rules with any non-stick pan that you want to KEEP non-stick. 1) No high heat! These pans work exceedingly well at low and medium. Even pre-heating these pans on high will warp the metal and damage the non-stick coating. 2)HAND WASH ONLY! Automatic dishwasher detergents have caustic agents in them that will damage certain metals and will ruin non-stick coatings. 3) NO SPRAYS! Things like Pam have a propellent in them that will also damage the non-stick coating. 4) NO COLD WATER ON A HOT PAN! Who does that? I've seen him take a sizzling hot pan and run cold water right out of the faucet on it. Really? I'm sure that he does that to get the grease out, while the pan is still hot. But, doing so will warp the metal and ruin the non-stick coating. 5) NO METAL UTENSILS! Again, who does that? I've seen metal spoons, ladles, forks, spatulas and even KNIVES used on my pans. Don't do that. Just.....DON'T. Calphalon brand pans are some of the best on the market and will last YEARS if they are treated with care and respect. I have a full set of Calphalon pots and pans. I am very pleased with them and have full confidence that everything I cook in them is going to turn out great. Good purchase. Five stars.

Received these about 2 weeks ago and we could not be happier. They are well built and extremely easy to clean. The handles are braded on not screwed. The handles get warm to hot the closer you get to the pan itself but if you put a comfortable grip on the handle it is not hot just warm not hot at all. Nothing sticks to the pan and after letting them cool a bit just run warm water into the pan and everything washes right off. Take care of them and they should last a long time.

I have used, and worn out, several of this model pan and the comparable higher-end Signature version. They work very well. The Classic is better balanced than the Signature. In part that is due to weight, with the Classic being 1.07 kg and the Signature being 1.56 kg. The extra half kilo (over a pound) is a lot. The Classic also has a better handle, since it is a 28 mm wide oval to control twisting, whereas the Signature handle has a nearly square profile, only 22 mm wide. The pan twist easily in my hand when emptying the contents out the side. The tradeoff is a thinner metal and non-stick coating. I have not had trouble with uneven heating in the thinner one. We'll see how the new non-stick coating in the current (2023) iteration works. The previous ones are effective and scratch tolerant. But they eventually wear out in daily use.

I quit buying cheap non-stick cookware after my first Calphalon pan. This one is as good as the others I have. It heats fast and evenly, browns food nicely, and is easy to clean. I hesitate to call any non-stick pan "scratch resistant", but these are as good as any and better than most. With a little care they last many times longer cheaper non-sticks.

重いがしっかりとしている。10年は使えそう

Good price and fast delivery

Great pan but this one has more rounded edges than flared out ones so it holds more water and so is not as good for searing as the old design. Still love using it to make omelettes and other stuff, easy to clean, and the heat distribution is excellent, I just wish I didn't scratch my old one =( it was my go to for yeeeears
