Amazon.com ReviewDesigned for baking paella, this wide, shallow pan comes with a lid so it can also be used for braising on the stovetop or in the oven. It makes a perfectly good roasting pan as well. And, at 14 inches in diameter, it's wide enough to sauté or fry lots of chicken, fish, or vegetables on the stovetop. Though it's not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. Textured handles of cast stainless steel resist heating on the stovetop and go safely into the oven. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan heats evenly and quickly with no hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
What Others Say
Use this pan constantly
I got this pan as a Christmas present when I was in a paella "phase." The "phase" has passed, and I still use this pan at least twice a week, if not more! I cook turkeys and capons in it on the oven, and then use the drippings to make gravy on the stove. Great for sautéing and searing. Also makes wonderful paellas. I've had it for two years now and it shows no signs of wear. Keep in mind, though, this is not for non-fat cooking, as you need some kind of fat to start with.
Calphalon paella pan with lid
I use this pan frequently (though I have yet to make paella with it!) as it is large enough to contain my family's meal and is very easy to clean. My Calphalon collection is over ten years old and still looks great. Highly recommended!
