Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Whether firm country-style or tender French, omelets 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 its sides. This big 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. Use only plastic, nylon, and wood 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 hook or peg. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pans cook without hot spots or warping. The pan comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

The one essential pan for every kitchen!,
By
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
This is 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 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars
best deal on the market,
By Nick Lau (San Francisco, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
the calphalon pan is a tremendous deal. extremely well made(and still made in toledo, ohio. some calphalon products are being made in china) and with a cooking friendly geometry. the nonstick is durable although it is recommended for non-metal utensils only. heating is even and easily controlled. breaded meats come out with an even, crispy crust. sauteed veggies came out well, and mushrooms were especially good, achieving a browning that is not usually characteristic of nonsticks. the nonstick surface cleans easily, but the hard anodised outer

great performance for a great price!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
I just bought this pan, but have so far been very impressed. It's heavy, well constructed, and heats very evenly. So far nothing has even come close to sticking to the non-stick coating, which also seems to be of a good quality thickness (unlike the cheaply made non-stick pans that you can ordinarily only get for this price). This doesn't impress as the type of pan that's going to be thrown out in a year. I've been pleasantly surprized, since I've never been able to justify buying expensive non-stick cookware (since it doesn't seem to last), and have a habit of buying really cheap non-stick stuff with the intention of throwing it out every couple of years. I may have to change my non-stick philosophy if this pan lasts as well as I think it might. Its a perfect size for a lot of different things. Its great for eggs, hashbrowns & bacon - you can easily fry 4 eggs at a time without them touching, and bacon strips fit completely flat on the bottom of the pan...no running up the sides like in smaller pans. Believe it or not its also great for browning meat - it really heats up! (really, its light years away from your regular teflon pan) Although its heavy, I've even found that I can do a two-handed saute flip of food. The sides seem to be shaped really well to facilitate this (and trust me, although I cook a LOT, I'm no expert flipper). The flared rim also makes pouring liquid out of it easy too (so far, no annoying sloshes down the sides!). Oh, for those who are wondering because of the price, its manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, not China (it says so on the bottom of the pan). The only downside is that the anodized aluminum outside seems pretty prone to scratching/rubbing. It won't affect performance, but does offend the OCD part of me that wants all of my cookware to stay pristine despite hard use. :) In all, for the price of a no-name brand pan, this is a great value purchase that I don't think you'll regret.
