I got along for many years without this pan. Looking back, I don't know how.

First of all, it's solid. Nice and heavy. The non-stick surface is amazing. Nothing-- I mean nothing can stick to it. It's Calphalon- the Porsche of pans, in my opinion. The sides are nice and high, which means you can have lots of liquid in there and still have room to stir. This is especially important for reductions, where you start out with a lot of liquid.

This is a pan I plan to keep and continue to use for a long, long time.

I have used mine for over a year now. I will never buy anything except this line of cookware in the future. Never sticks, easy to clean, after a year of everyday use (family of 6) it's still in good shape! Note: We only clean it with a dobie pad as directed! Large enough to do four american-toast at the same time. Great heat distribution. Just great, and BIG! Gave it to some friends as a present, they love it too. Glad I found it in this lifetime! Get it - I think You'll love it too! And No, I have no affiliation with calaphon.

I splurged on this pan because I was tired of the "wobble" my cheaper pans developed on my smooth glass cooktop. This pan warped severely after only 4 months, not any better than pans a fraction of the cost. I plan on returning it for replacement, and will use the new one for low temperature sauces only.

I finally broke down and gave this brand a try. It was so hard to justify the cost. I am so glad that I finally did it. I will agree that it is heavy, so watch out for little kids. It cooks very evenly. One skillet dinners are a breeze in this pan. It is large enough for a family of 5 like mine.

It is well worth the money. I will definately continue purchasing this product line.

I purchased this product for my daughter for Christmas only to have to stop using it after several months. The bottom warped and the finish is coming off.

Works just as advertised. Easy to use and cleanup is a snap. Well built very good heat distribution. A little heavy with only one hand and you learn FAST to use a glove or hot pad when using two hands!

After reading many recipes that required a saute pan that could also go in the oven, I started looking for such a pan on the internet and in local stores. I wanted a pan that would last, have even heat, and be easy to handle. The prices amazed me, so I looked at Amazon and found just what I was looking for at a much better price. The Calphalon pan is easy to handle because it has a holding section across from the pan handle. The construction is good and it does a very good job of cooking evenly. It is easy to clean and looks nice. It is fit for a gourmet or a little old lady who likes to cook.

This is an awesome pan. It is HUGE. I can cook anything in this, but it's especially good for gumbo/jambalaya/pasta mixes for a large crowd.

After cooking, it takes me about 20 seconds to clean it under hot water and a sponge, dry it, and put it away. Don't put it in the dishwasher, there is no need.

Highly recommend it. I could use this as my only pot/pan in the kitchen.

I will never buy another brand...this pan is heavy and well made. Just be sure and buy the commercial grade.

the nonstick surface is great and I like the size & depth of the pan.

the handle though is designed poorly--it is too thin and narrow to provide a good grip, so the pan tends to flip over when one grips the handle, rendering the handle rather useless.
