CalphalonContemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Omelette Pan

This pan is amazing. It passed our hash brown test. My other skillets, no matter how hard I tried and no matter what I did, they would ALWAYS stick. Even to my stainless steel skillets!!Not with this wonderful skillet!! I sprayed some Extra Virgin Olive Oil with my Misto Oil Sprayer, that I also got from Amazon, and not ONE bit of the hash browns stuck to this skillet. They browned and came out amazing!! Then I made gooey, cheesy scrambled eggs!! Again, NO STICKING!! And clean up is a snap-wait until the pan cools and put in the sink with hot soapy water, very lightly wash, rinse, dry and your done!!I love this Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick cookware!!!! I got all the matching pieces to the original 10pc set I got from Amazon and threw my other pans away!! I even went to the Calphalon site to order lids for the omlette pans-too bad they do not come with the set-I can always use the lids with the omlette pans. They do not make a lid for the stir fry pan though.If you buy this cookware, you will NOT be sorry!! Just hand wash as they state, DO NOT PUT IN THE DISHWASHER, use nylon cooking utensils and get the Misto Oil Sprayer, and you'll be a happy cooker!! NO MORE stuck food!!!I just cannot rave enough about this cookware!!!! I'm having fun in the kitchen again!!!!

This is pass #2 with the non-stick versions of Calphalon cookware that I expected would last longer than 7 years -- but this is our fault, not the manufacturers. We are proud owners of a full set of Calphalon professional cookware and it cooks as well today as it did 15 years ago when we first got it (albeit with some cosmetic degradation...just like me). I think we were lulled to sleep by the seeming indestructable nature of the hard anodized stuff and took liberties with the non-stick version that we weren't entitled to (kind of like that friend of the opposite sex that you constantly get drunk with and make innuendos...eventually, you get slapped. The non-stick pans finally decided to stop pretending our "smooth surface" double entendres were cute.)These cook evenly and clean easily, but you MUST:- heat the pans with medium heat- do the butter test at least once so you know the right interaction between pan and your stove- never use anything but wooden, silicone or plastic utensils in the pan (no you CAN'T be careful with that metal fork!)They are easier to use than the pro stuff (my wife won't even touch the hard anodized versions any more...or at least she won't clean them, if we're being honest) but you have to take care of them.

If I could give a negative rating I would. I bought this to replace one that I had for 6 years. I use the pan literally daily so it's important to me that it can hold up (which my previous one did). The quality was so good that I decide to buy the same pan again (or so I thought).For about the first month it performed as expected. Over the past few weeks I've noticed that evething is sticking to it more and more. It's to the point now where it's WORSE than pan I replace. Even bacon sticks! Might as well be cooking on a non-seasoned skillet with all this sticking.

I ordered one of these pans before Christmas and it arrived with a loose handle and chips on the edges so I returned it. I reordered another just recently and while it arrived in better condition, there were still some imperfections. However not enough to returned it. I have had these exact pan previously for over 20 years and is why I wanted another. I'd be curious to know if these are "seconds" that are being sold. It would explain the imperfections and low price.

I like this pan. I wanted a pan that cooked evenly and the Calphalon pan hit the desired results. Cast iron might be better in terms of frying but they are too heavy & the difference for me as an average meal maker is not that important.

I have placed two orders in the last week for the 12” pan. The pictures are the second order and are definitely a “second” or damaged product. The first order arrived in even worse condition!

This was a replacement pan for the same thing. We had the other pan for 10 years and it started to have sticking issues.

We had another of these 12” Calphalon that unfortunately someone (she who will not be named) left on the burner unattended. It was 8 years old, but great to that point. It was a challenge to find the exact skillet, but Amazon had it. It’s a great size and although this one didn’t come with lid, we had one from the original. Heats evenly and the non-stick surface is durable.
