Calphalon 12" Everyday Pan
The pan is very versatile, however, when coking, food tends to stick to the pan more than I had anticipated. The cleanup process usually needs to soak the pan and use a non-abrasive pad.
A Stir Fry Junky's Delight
I basically only eat veggies and rice. I love stir fry with a passion and I always find myself making that, fried rice, and plenty of other things. But my pan wasn't made for that kind of stuff, so it drops out everywhere and burns everything. It was frustrating and I hated it so I decided to get this pretty cool looking pan. I didn't even know that it was going to work, but what the heck, it looked like it would. It doesn't spill or burn, my stir fry comes out perfectly. I've used this day in and day out and I love it. It's a good thing to have and made with good quality.
Love this pan!
This is the first Calphalon pan I've purchased. I'm a big fan of All-Clad but the price on this one was too good to pass up. I'm so glad I bought it. I highly recommend it. It's become one of the most used pans in the kitchen.
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.
To point out the disadvantage, would be it's bulkiness in a small kitchen.Other than that, it serves all the purposes of saute,stir fry and what not!. It is great for simmering fluids too, and because of it's wide area, simmering process is faster.
Needless to say, it is the best in the market and Iam greatly happy with my purchase.( It requires little bit of understanding about Anodized properties, because I thought of returning the pan in it's initial days).I Own this pan for more than a year now, and it's brand new still,calling me every now and then, to cook something wonderful in it!
I Love my pan...and you will too!..Do watch out for the sale and grab one today!
