A Good Pan
I really love this pan. I have tried it out with different types of food and have not had any difficulties with food sticking like some of the other reviewers have. Perhaps the cooking method makes a difference. I have a Viking Professional Propane Stove so maybe that has something to do with the fact that the food doesn't stick.
In fact I love this pan so much that I just ordered a second one.
The best pan , I have..
It has been a very long hunt for me to find a pan that could be used for sautee, or browning potatoes etc..as most of the Non stick doesn't do this trick. I got this pan for a deal in Amazon for $18.00, and wanted to see if this is really good. Believe me! It is the Best one I possess till now..It took me some time to understand the feature of this anodized material..But once I understood it, it's fab!.
For best results, place your pan in Medium- Medium heat, pour a little dab of oil and season with salt and put the things to saute. You can get quick results because of it's intense heating material and cleaning is also trouble free. Just pour some water and after 2 mins, you will be able to wipe it off clean.
10 years and going strong!
This is the perfect pan whether you are a gormet cook or just want to brown some ground beef and serve manwiches or hamburger helper. Nothing sticks and it is amazing.
Instead of getting the farberware sets like my friends were getting for their weddings, I didn't register for cookware. I bought this paella pan, a 2.5-qt saucepan and the short and wide stockpot from Calphalon. I didn't wash them in the dishwasher and all have held up well. I'm back at Amazon today to get some more calphalon cleanser. Amazing how Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid is a quality product and I fully expect it to last a lifetime.
We are a family of five and definitely give this pan an A+
PRO Rated!
I asked for (and received) the 10 pc hard anodized set years ago and have used it since. While visiting family in 2007, we made gorgeous golden pancakes in this pan and I knew I had to have one of my own - I didn't have anything this large in my arsenal.
** As a professional cook, I am particular about my cookware, so I expected a lot from this piece - large surface area, even heating, stovetop to oven capability, oven-safe to at least 400 degrees, good browning on meats and veg, easy clean-up, stay cool handles, a lid, and rivets where the handles are joined to the pan and its lid.
What a tremendous value for the money, with a "naturally" non-stick surface if you treat it well. As other reviewers have noted, don't overheat ... Read More
I haven't received it yet!!!!
I haven't received this item yet. It has already appeared on my credit card bill, though. I just wrote to the seller asking whether it had been shipped. How do I get my money back?
