Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Calphalon nonstick pans are made for the low-fat cook looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This rounded, 4-quart chef's pan is shaped right for hand-tossing foods in the pan, and can be used for various cooking tasks, whether it's making sauces or braising and deglazing meats. The heavy-gauge aluminum exterior heats evenly, and the pan has an advanced nonstick interior. Use a light hand on the heat dial though, to protect the nonstick surface from overheating. Also, use plastic, coated, or wooden utensils to protect the finish. Its curved handle is easy to grip and stays cool, thanks to a V-shaped split where it meets the pan, and there's also a short looped utility handle on the opposite side of the pan for heavy lifting. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction gives you the flexibility to put the pan in the oven, up to 450 degrees. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish, and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale Steinke

5.0 out of 5 stars The most versatile pan in the kitchen, February 17, 2001

By 

Darlene Bruce (Tempe, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 4-Quart Chef's Pan with Lid (Kitchen)

This is definitely the most heavily used pan in our kitchen. Part wok, part sauce pan, part saute pan - there's so many different things you can do with it. We upgraded from a cheaper pan that was wider and not as deep, and we thought we might not like the depth of this pan, but it's great because food doesn't spill out as easily when you're cooking.

Also, it heats evenly and the nonstick coating is amazing. The only disadvantage we've heard about Calphalon is that the hard anodized outer coating tends to scratch over time. We've only had this pan (and a couple others) for about 3 months, but we have noticed a couple of small scratches. One way to help avoid this is to get a pot rack which we're about to do. We have this pan and 2 other Calphalon nonstick fry pans. If you want nonstick and/or you're buying a set, this Calphalon commercial nonstick stuff is awesome. One other brand to consider though is All-Clad (if you can afford it). We've got a few All-Clad sauce pans and the quality is outstanding (plus they're beautiful). You can find factory seconds of All-Clad and Calphalon occasionally at discount stores like TJ Maxx. Then the prices are generally 50% off retail, but you've got to be real careful that the items aren't damaged.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, October 21, 2000

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 4-Quart Chef's Pan with Lid (Kitchen)

I was skeptical at first of this heavy cookware, but after asking around decided to purchase 1 piece. Now I'm saving for a whole set!! It's amazing. The food almost cooks itself. It heats up quickly (which is great when your short on time like I am), it cooks evenly, and NONSTICK? . . . they should call it WON'T STICK EVEN IF YOU TRIED!! Clean up is a snap, since NOTHING STICKS!! It should not go into the dishwasher, but as I said cleaning it is easy. I've never owned a pan like this, but I plan to purchase nothing but this from here on in!! It makes cooking fun again. On top of all that, it's beautiful. It's so pretty,I refuse to put it away and hide it. It's at the top of my Christmas list this year (to be given as gifts, and to be received)!
