Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid
The 12-in. Everyday Pan is an all-purpose pan. Use it for searing, browning and sauteing vegetables and meats. It also works well for making paella, jambalaya and all-in-one meals that you can bring right to the table to serve. The 2 loop handles make for easier lifting.Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability. Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum, all-metal construction with the advanced technology of the Cool V stainless handles. The aluminum construction provides superior cooking performance by distributing the heat evenly so there are no hot spots as you cook. And because it's made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. The hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to the foods being cooked. The Cool V handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and are balanced with such precision that the pans feel lighter when you pick them up.
This 12-inch everyday pan will end up being the hardest working pan in your kitchen. It is ideal for everything from simmering stovetop succotash and braising brisket to browning Dutch pancakes or cooking fruit tarts. Part of Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized line of cookware, this pan is made of heavy-gauge aluminum that's uniformly thick across the bottom and sides, allowing for quick and even heat distribution. Its durable hard-anodized finish is stick- and scratch-resistant and won?t react with acidic foods. The patented cast stainless-steel handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by three sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The included hard-anodized lid is dome-shaped, making it ideal for moist-heat cooking. The cookware and lid are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you can transfer a frittata to the oven for browning without having to switch pans. All cookware in this line is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid Reviews
I really love this pan. In fact I love this pan so much that I just ordered a second one. 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. 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.
I got this pan for a deal in Amazon for $18.00, and wanted to see if this is really good. I Love my pan.and you will too.Do watch out for the sale and grab one today. You can get quick results because of it's intense heating material and cleaning is also trouble free. It is great for simmering fluids too, and because of it's wide area, simmering process is faster. 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.
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. 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. 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. 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. Just pour some water and after 2 mins, you will be able to wipe it off clean.
Believe me.
I bought this paella pan, a 2.5-qt saucepan and the short and wide stockpot from Calphalon. We are a family of five and definitely give this pan an A+ 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. Instead of getting the farberware sets like my friends were getting for their weddings, I didn't register for cookware. I'm back at Amazon today to get some more calphalon cleanser. Amazing how this product is a quality product and I fully expect it to last a lifetime. I didn't wash them in the dishwasher and all have held up well. Nothing sticks and it is amazing.
I put a little warm water into the pan while it's still hot. In case no else mentioned it - don't use non-stick spray on it as it seems to make the surface tacky and changes it. A little oil, butter, or an oil mister are good options. I asked for (and received) the 10 pc hard anodized set years ago and have used it since.
** 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. As other reviewers have noted, don't overheat it. If you let water sit in it, it will dry with white spots and/or streaks (as will all my Calphalon). Do yourself a favor and try one - remember to get one as a gift or someone you love may try to talk you out of yours. :) . You may find you can replace other pans and even your wok with this workhorse. I use this pan for stir fries, skillet-to-oven cornbread, sautéing meat, pasta tosses and much more.
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. (similar to deglazing it) and let it cook itself clean, then later I run warm soapy water and a gentle scrubber sponge over it, dry it and put it away. It handles it all. This will likely be the pan you reach for every day, and it delivers, every time. What a tremendous value for the money, with a "naturally" non-stick surface if you treat it well.
I haven't received this item yet. CTA How do I get my money back. I just wrote to the seller asking whether it had been shipped. It has already appeared on my credit card bill, though.
