Good pans for the price and they are dishwasher safe
I have used this pan and the 10" pan from a Simply Calphalon Stainless Steel 10-piece set I purchased about 3 years ago (about $175). Out of the set, the frying pans have gotten the most use. They are nice, heavy pans, however the nonstick coating has not held up as well as I would have liked and now I need to replace the frying pans. I think I sped up their demise by cooking on them at too high a temperature most of the time. These pans were a very good buy and I will buy them again.
About the dishwasher issue: The washing info on the Calphalon website says, "Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth. Please note, pans with a stainless exterior and nonstick interior can go into the dishwasher. However, hand washing is recommended." ... Read More
really nice omelet pan!
This is an excellent omelet pan. The price was great ($25) and it's solid and high quality. You cannot go wrong!
great little pan
Great omelet pan. The eggs don't stick and the omelets come out looking like a pro made them.
Calphalon stainless 8-in omelet pan
We have been looking for this kind of pan for quite sometime now. We came to know about this during a shopping spree at the Duty Free shop here in the Philippines.
This the kind of pan that we want easy to clean, fuel efficient and durable. More often than not pans that are coming out has this "hot plate" at the bottom to generate more heat. But this feature make it very difficult to clean. We also like the way the handle was made, very "positive" in terms of fabrication and sdesign.
If only we have enough "resources" we will go Calphalon all the way!! But may be we'll do it piece by piece. I do most of the cooking at home even before I retired from work and have been cooking since my teens. So I know things about pots and pans.

Good line of pans
For almost two years I've had several sizes of these pans. They have good weight and balance, are very easy to clean quickly, and are reasonably priced.
Regarding the dishwasher, I have put some of the smaller pans in there, however I've found that since these are so easy to clean because of the nonstick surface, it's easier and faster to do it by hand -- about as quick to wash by hand as it is to load into the dishwasher and unload later.
Before purchasing, I considered the tri-ply pans, however the handles were terrible, especially when trying to hold the additional weight. Plus they are much more expensive.
I'd definitely recommend this pan to anyone - great product and good price.
