Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Omelets, whether firm country-style or tender French, must be cooked quickly and folded in the pan. A classic omelet pan, therefore, is thick-bottomed for rapid, even heating and shallow with steeply sloped sides so omelets can be rolled easily against them. This pan qualifies on all counts, and it's ideal for sautéing and searing, also. Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick cookware is coated with an especially durable, multilayered nonstick material. To protect this material, use only plastic, nylon, and wooden utensils. The pan is anodized for hardness. For that no-nonsense, professional-kitchen look, this cookware wears a matte finish. Polished, cast-stainless-steel handles are triple-riveted for durability and balance and stay cooler on stovetops. Holes in the handles facilitate hanging on a hook or peg. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pans cook without hot spots or warping. Lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this now before they are sold out, October 5, 2001

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)

This is an incredible bargain for a great piece of Calphalon cookware. A 10 or 12 inch omelet pan is essential to any kitchen, and non-stick is a great feature in such a pan. Calphalon Commercial non-stick is widely regarded as having one of the most durable non-stick finishes available, and the appearance and design of the pan are excellent, with very good weight and balance. The handle stays cool and is comfortable. You will also probably want an omelet pan with a stainless or aluminum interior, for better browning, but for eggs, stir-fry, and other items that don't need to be browned, this pan is perfect, and an unbeatable bargain at this price (retail for the exact same pan is over 3 times as much). Remember to hand wash and use non-metal utensils.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Professional II, an unbelievable price..., October 15, 2001

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)

Seriously, you will not find a better price than this special offer from Amazon. Having used the Commercial Nonstick 10-inch pan, I've found that it has a more advanced nonstick surface than the Professional Nonstick II (the Calphalon web site actually discusses this -- that's why Commercial Nonstick has a higher MSRP).

The "Cool V" handles generally stay pretty cool, for a while at least. It's fairly easy to balance the pan, but I've felt better.
Underneath, it's that same beautiful matte Calphalon finish, and the pan has that wonderful, high-performance ability of Calphalon cookware to heat up and cool down extremely quickly. If you have never used Calphalon or anodized aluminum before, you will find the temperature control is just amazing. You'll be frying eggs inside of a minute, instead of waiting several minutes for the pan to heat up...And if it starts to burn, turn down the heat and it cools in a snap.

The only note I would have is that the 10-inch version is actually significantly smaller than the 12-inch. This is for two-person omelettes, not four, if you know what I mean. And the 12-incher is not exactly cheap. But hey, this is meant to whet your appetite...and it succeeds brilliantly.

Also note -- Calphalon products must be hand-washed, but that is not a big deal in this case due to the nonstick coating.

Bottom line: At these prices, this would be a great stocking-stuffer for Christmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME PAN!! GREAT DEAL!!!, November 13, 2001

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)

This pan retails for (dollar amount). This is one great bargain on an excellent pan.

This is the best pan I've ever owned, even better than some non-nonstick pans. They way the nonstick coating is adhered in some new fangled way that makes this pan durable, heats evenly, nonstick, and easy to clean. I have an 8 inch Calphalon professional nonstick that is not nearly as nice as the 10 inch Commercial. If you are wary of nonstick pans, this is the best one to get. I hated nonstick until this pan.
