Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This round-sided pan is like a shallow, flat-bottomed wok, perfect for stir-frying and designed to facilitate a chef's C-shaped flipping motion. Because it exposes lots of surface, given the bottom's 6-inch diameter (the top is 9 inches), the pan is also ideal for quickly reducing sauces. Its domed stainless-steel lid collects moisture and returns it to foods during cooking. Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick cookware is coated with an especially durable, multilayered nonstick material. (To extend its life, use only plastic, nylon, and wooden utensils.) The matte-finish pan's exterior is anodized for hardness and won't chip, crack, or peel. The polished handle is cast stainless steel, multiriveted for durability, and resists heating on a stovetop. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Small, Versatile Nonstick Pan--Great Buy,
By Michela (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 9-Inch Chef's Skillet with Lid (Kitchen)
This Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 2-Quart Chef's Pan with Lid is a "collector's item" from the newer line of Calphalon's nonstick cookware. Thus, it has the same alloy aluminum pan as the older "Professional nonstick" line, but its interior has the superior Commercial nonstick coating. Its handle is "stay-cool" sculpted stainless steel, instead of an older chrome-covered iron handle that can get very hot to the touch. The 9-Inch bottom of this chef's pan is slightly smaller than that of the 3-Quart Sauté pan, which is another useful pan that usually comes with a Calphalon starter set.This pan is a real bargain. Since Calphalon rarely offers such deep discounts, especially on their newest nonstick line of cookware, it seems worthwhile to add it to one's collection. If you have not tried a Commercial nonstick pan, I recommend this one as a test pan. The Commercial nonstick omelet pans are excellent, but one can get them in a starter set at a good price, too. Because this chef's pan has the rounded shape, I use it for stir-frying, reducing sauces, and making demi-glace. I have two flat-bottomed woks (Joyce Chen and Calphalon), but they do not work that well on an electric range, and they are not nonstick. This chef's pot is useful for a small-to-medium stir fry on either a gas or electric burner. When the stir fry is done, I use a Calphalon nylon scoop to remove the cooked food, then reduce the sauce. Since this pot is nonstick, clean-up will be easy. Any residue can be removed with a nylon scrubber and Soft Scrub. Hand-washing is recommended by Calphalon. I have had some of these Commercial nonstick pans for four years, and they still look like new.

A good pan, but not quite balanced,

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 9-Inch Chef's Skillet with Lid (Kitchen)
This is a nice little pan for cooking single-dish meals for one or two people. Heavy aluminum construction with an immaculate nonstick coating, all for an unbeatable price. However, the small base combined with the long steel handle makes the whole pan slightly off balance. If you bump it just right, especially while it's preheating on the stove top, it may go tumbling. But once you get some food in it, it's fine.

Not that Great,
By A Customer
This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 9-Inch Chef's Skillet with Lid (Kitchen)
I am a Professional Calphalon user and thought I would give the Commercial line a try. This is the first commercial Calphalon I bought and I must say that there is a noticeable difference in the quality immediately. However, the quality is much better than the average pots/pans out there so I would still recommend it, but not if you're used to the Professional stock.I found this pan to be much too small for stir-frying. It's shaped like a mini-wok with the top of the pan measuring 9 inches, but the bottom is much smaller. Hence it is not too useful for typical frying-pan jobs like scrambling eggs, frying bacon, cooking a grill cheese sandwich, etc. And it is not large enough or deep enough to stir anything. I plan to return my pan and spend the money on a more useful pan.
