This 12-inch everyday pan will end up being the hardest working pan in your kitchen. It is ideal for everything from simmering stovetop succotash and braising brisket to browning Dutch pancakes or cooking fruit tarts. Part of Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized line of cookware, this pan is made of heavy-gauge aluminum that's uniformly thick across the bottom and sides, allowing for quick and even heat distribution. Its durable hard-anodized finish is stick- and scratch-resistant and won’t react with acidic foods. The patented cast stainless-steel handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by three sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The included hard-anodized lid is dome-shaped, making it ideal for moist-heat cooking. The cookware and lid are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you can transfer a frittata to the oven for browning without having to switch pans. All cookware in this line is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

| Comment: | Even though I own a lot of Calphalon products, for some reason this pan seems to be extra sticky... No matter the fat I use in the pan, proteins stick. Doesn't matter, chicken, eggs, sausage, bacon etc it sticks.. The pan cleans up pretty easy though, and for the price I paid ($19.99), I can't complain. Though it is not an "Everyday Pan" for me, it will be a sometimes pan. It is a great design, maybe they just made a huge run of these and maybe they are 2nds. |

| Summary: | good price ($20 got it on sale) but it sticks!! |
| Comment: | as mentioned in the title, i bought it when it was on sale, very good price for this brand. when i received it, it was shaallower than i thought, doesn't matter, however, it seems u need to put a lot of oil otherwise, it sticks quite a lot, cleaning seems ok, but still quite annoying as u couldn't only use it for one dish and then soak in the water and clean it the next day...i won't recommend to friends... |

| Comment: | I just want to re-confirm the issues that other people have had with this pan. It is of very poor quality: Every stir fry that I have tried (potatoes, garlic, ginger, eggplant) stuck to the bottom of the pan. It is easy enough to clean if I soak it in water for a while, but that doesn't serve the purpose. The other thing I noticed is that the pan changed color when I added some turmeric to the vegetables. No other pan I have ever used till date has had that problem. I also wanted to mention that the lid has a very thin coating of paint, and requires very careful maintenance. |

| Comment: | I use non-stick hard-anodized cookware, but purchased this pan when it was featured as a Gold Box item. Even though I already have two 12-inch pans, I thought the shape of this pan would make a reasonable substitute for a wok. I first attempted to make fried rice with this pan. I added some butter to the pan and made sure it was nicely coated, but my eggs stuck the minute they came in contact with the pan. That made everything else stick and I had to give up and use one of my non-stick pans. I was disappointed but I was later surprised that the stuck on foods released from the pan as easily as my non-stick ones. I tried this pan a few days ago when I made orange chicken, broccoli stir fry and fried rice again. This time, I had a completely different result -- granted, I cooked the eggs separately in a skillet -- nothing stuck, the food cooked wonderfully, and, once again, clean-up was just as easy as my other pans. This pan is much lighter than my other hard-anodized pans, so now that I'm familiar with it, I will definitely be using this as one of my go-to pans. |
