Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel 14 Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a glass electric slide in range.This is a awful pan because of it's rounded sides.It spins and doesn't stay put.It's good if you have a gas range but I really don't recommend this for all the people who have electric glass tops buy the ones that are completely flat.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 8 & 10 Inch Fry Pan Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love these pans because they are lightweight and they really heat up well. Also, I was looking for something where the nonstick surface would not break down, and this seems to be it. I found that using non stick spray does the trick and I do not need to use a lot of oil.

Meanwhile, once oil gets sort of burned on there, it does not seem to come off. I guess I need to figure that out, though it doesn't bother me too much. I wash the pans by hand with soapy water currently.

Perfect flips, and no flops! Calphalon's Contemporary Stainless omelette pans feature a thick, flat, wide bottom for quick, even heating and cooking with little to no oils. The gently sloping sides allow the omelet to glide freely, flip in one quick motion and slide easily from the pan to your plate. Plus, cleanup is easy. The rolled stainless steel Cool Touch handle conducts heat more slowly than cast iron handles, so it stays cool on the stove top. It's sure to bring out your sunny side.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 10-Inch Omelet Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own the entire set of Calphalon Contemporary and use it daily. These pans are outstanding; the heat distribution is excellent (I've checked it with a laser thermometer), it's nicely weighted and the curved sides on the pan itself are excellent when flipping contents (which makes you look quite professional, if I do say so myself).

As for the handles, the curved design makes it easy to keep the contents of the pan level when picking it up and they stay surprisingly cool during cooking. While they're long enough to give the proper leverage, they are slightly shorter than some other pans I've used. This is a tremendous benefit though - I have two little girls in the house and I always point the handles inward toward the center of my cooktop; because they're slightly shorter, they don't overlap or tangle with one another.

I did notice another reviewer remark that food sticks to them and that they're hard to clean. I don't want to pick on anyone, but I suspect that the problem lies more in the cleaning and prep than the pan itself. As a general rule, stainless cookware needs a reasonable coating of fat or oil before the cooking contents are added. Even if a recipe calls for a certain amount of oil at the onset, a few drops swished around the bottom and sides of the pan before heating works wonders. Also, how you clean them is key. Like cast iron, stainless steel can actually be seasoned (oil settles into the microscopic pores of the steel) and that makes it somewhat nonstick. However, if you use a strong soap and abrasive pads to clean the pan, you eliminate the seasoning and are always starting from scratch! I find a tiny amount of soap (if any) and warm water will keep the cookware clean, smooth and low maintenance.

Calphalon Triply Stainless Steel 10-Inch Omelet Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Picked up this to complement my ever-growing collection of Calphalon tri ply pans.And, like every other pan in this series, I have been very pleased!Sautees, cooks, fries great.The 8" omelette pan is ok for one person, the 10" pan is great for a family.In my opinion, the 12" fry pan is much too large, so this 10" is just right.Additionally, the 3 quart saute pan lid will fit this pan (check my other reviews of the tri-ply series).

To the person who complained that "used it only once and its interior surface has discolored already."I cook regularly on a gas range, and it takes me several weeks before it starts to get discolored.That statement is like the iPod lawsuit of the guy suing Apple for hearing loss- of course your pans will get dirty with usage, it's not magic. Just remember, use Barkeeper's Friend and a Dobie pad (sponge encased in nylon net) to keep the luster!

Lastly, to the person that complained that these are not of the same quality as All-Clad, I don't see what the difference is.Compared with the All-Clad Stainless line, both use the same tri-ply on sides and bottom with aluminum core.The difference is that AC uses a metal that works better on induction ovens (magnetic), albeit is of worse quality than non-magnetic metals.
If you want to pay for overpriced All-Clad, go right ahead- the only one losing is you and your wallet.

Happy cooking!

** 2nd EDIT **
I've had these pots and pans for 1.5 years now, and have steadily added to my tri ply collection.I'm still very pleased with them.

- They have still retained their mirror finish on the exterior.
- Cleanup is a breeze- just rub a bit of barkeeper's friend (I'd like to shake the hand of whoever invented that- best thing since sliced bread).
- The moisture channeling from the lids is very much appreciated- everything I cook is definitely juicier.
- I was amazed at the quality of material- I boiled some eggs in a pot one day, and 14 hours later, I kid you not, the water was still warm, not lukewarm, but warm!

The biggest complaint I have about the pots, and the sole complaint that I can think of, is that the handles on the lids do get a bit hot when cooking.Just do yourself a favor and grab a pot-holder when cooking.

Otherwise, I'm still very satisfied with them!
