5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential pans for every kitchen..., April 16, 2004
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 8- and 10-Inch Omelet Pans, Limited Edition Set (Kitchen)
These are the best nonstick pan in the world, and here's why: 1) The nonstick surface is superior to anything else you will ever use, and it's guaranteed forever. The Commercial line has the far better LRS3 nonstick material than the less expensive LRS material in the Calphalon Professional Nonstick II line. I have had both for several years and I can not recommend the Professional line because the surface becomes sticky over time, while the Commercial Nonstick surface is nearly as slippery as the day I bought it. 2) The handle stays cool. 3) The pan is stunningly gorgeous, with its matte black anodized aluminum underside and its polished chrome handle. 4) You can even finish items in the oven at 350 degrees or so without damaging the nonstick surface... 5) The weight and balance of the pan are excellent; extremely sturdy yet not unwieldy. One caveat: You can not put Calphalon products in the dishwasher. It will cause discolorations and pits, and void the warranty to boot! But that is not a big deal because the superior nonstick surface is a breeze to clean. Enjoy!

Just buy these pans!, March 24, 2004
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 8- and 10-Inch Omelet Pans, Limited Edition Set (Kitchen)
What a great buy for two fry pans by Caphalon. They are getting daily use, as is the 10" crepe which was bought just because the price was so good. Take my advice, take your time and check Amazon.com, or others periodically (I must admit routinely I have found best prices on Amazon.com) for "special prices" on Calphalon. I just bought the 6.5 qt saucepot w/lid for $40. The Calphalon COMMERCIAL NONSTICK line is terrific, you can feel the quality. and as far as cleanup, you almost have to wash them. You can accumulate just the specific items you wish for much better than "set" prices if you're patient. I now own 17 pcs(of my choosing) mostly COMM NONSTICK, a few TRI PLY STAINLESS, each piece bought over the last 6 months when on sale for a total cost of under $300. Just slighty more than the T-FAL set I bought 3 yrs ago that is going in the trash because the non-stick is virtually non-existent.

Great deal!!, March 12, 2004
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 8- and 10-Inch Omelet Pans, Limited Edition Set (Kitchen)
The Calphalon Omelet pans and skillets are essential for the busy chef. To get both the 8" and 10" for under $50 is a fantastic deal! The 8" is my ideal 2-egg omelet pan. The small size keeps the eggs fluffy, and no-spatula flips are easy (and quite impressive). You can keep the heat nice and high - I've never had one burn on me yet. The 10" is great for fritattas and Denver omelets. The non-stick surface is a godsend when cooking eggs and breaded meats, and it really does clean up easily. Neither pan will last forever, particularly if you use them as frequently as I do (or if you occasionally poke them with a metal spatula). But for this value, you can't go wrong. There are surely more expensive non-stick pans out there, but for the price, these'll absolutely get the job done.
