Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Calphalon refines the art of cooking omelets and sautéing vegetables with this 12-inch omelet pan. With its nonstick interior and gently sloped sides, the pan cradles your omelet--gliding it smoothly and easily across the skillet's surface. When finished, slide the omelet from pan to plate without reaching for the spatula. The pan's thick, wide bottom conducts heat beautifully, creating omelets cooked to a perfect consistency.

Calphalon's Contemporary Nonstick cookware features a hard-anodized exterior for durability and heat retention and a nonstick interior. The nonstick coating makes cleanup a breeze. The pan also includes a matte-finish handle that stays cool on the stovetop, while its slip-resistant grip ensures the pan won't fall from your hand if slightly wet. Topping off the skillet is a glass-and-stainless cover that lets you view your food while cooking--a great touch when simmering stews, heating sauces, or sautéing meats. Contemporary Nonstick cookware is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, and hand washing is recommended. The cookware comes with a lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen

From the Manufacturer

Get together with Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick.

Sharing great food with friends and family is surely one of life's most delicious pleasures. And Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick makes it so easy to get together!

Designed to fit your style of cooking, living and entertaining, Contemporary Nonstick features an exclusive nonstick interior, formulated for durability and effortless clean-up. (Our nonstick coating makes preparing healthy, low-fat meals a snap, too.) Constructed from heavy-gauge hard-anodized aluminum, Contemporary Nonstick cookware heats evenly, sears quickly and browns foods beautifully--and it's guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Even a quick glance at Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick tells you, there's something exciting happening in the Calphalon Kitchen. You notice it in the cookware's gracefully curved vessels . . . in its elegantly arched, subtly polished handles and sparkling glass-and-stainless covers. We designed Contemporary Nonstick so you wouldn't dream of hiding it in the kitchen--you'll want to bring it right to the table. The Pot Lucky pan is just right for casseroles, risotto, mashed potatoes and more. Contemporary Nonstick's full-capacity line helps prevent over-filling and simplifies serving!

Contemporary Nonstick cookware is designed for versatility. Vessels are shaped to accommodate several different techniques. Many feature two loop handles, to easily allow for both stovetop and oven cooking. (All Contemporary Nonstick pans are oven-safe to 450 degrees.) They're also perfect for serving--whether in the kitchen, dining room, living room or den. The Entertainer is a perfect example: it sautés, braises, or bakes with equal finesse!

Contemporary Nonstick's stay-cool long handles make stovetop cooking more comfortable and convenient. Making omelettes to order is no problem--your Daily Sizzle pan's handle will stay cool no matter how many you have to flip!

Pancakes, French toast, toast, and eggs over-easy all slide effortlessly from atop your Morning Glory pan. And clean-up takes no time at all, thanks to an exclusive Calphalon nonstick coating. The Morning Glory is also ideal for grilled sandwiches and veggie burgers. Don't make brunch--or lunch--without it!

Some things can't be rushed. Pot roast, for example. And your Mama's marinara. From braised beef to simmering soups, Contemporary Nonstick cookware is the perfect choice for slow-cooking. Constructed from heavy-gauge hard-anodized aluminum, it heats gently and evenly--allowing spices to meld and mellow and meats to turn "fork tender"--without sticking or scorching.

There are times when you barely have a minute to toss together soup and a sandwich. "Heat-and-eat" is the order of day. That's why Contemporary Nonstick includes pans of all shapes and sizes--for every day as well as entertaining. Your Short and Saucy pan is perfect for warming soups and sauces, cooking vegetables and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pan and a Great Deal!!!, April 27, 2006

By 

Dominika - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan with Glass Lid (Kitchen)

Had this pan for about 4 months now and I love it!!! Cooks evenly and is VERY responsive to heat changes and cleaning up couldn't be easier. Just a little soap and water, anything that was on just glides right off. Loved it so much that I bought the 8" and 10" Omelette Pans, very excited to use them. This is a great pan to have if you have limited space and need something that will fit different way/needs of cooking.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cooks well but poorly balanced., March 17, 2006

By 

Dusty (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan with Glass Lid (Kitchen)

I bought this pan to replace a covered 10" pan. Out of the box I noticed that the lid felt heavier than the pan. Although the pan cooked food well, the handle is uncomfortably long and not well balanced to the pan. Once you add food it's even harder to manage. It may have been helpful if this pan had a 'helper handle' but I'm not even sure that would solve the problem. I am going to return it and hope to find something better.

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan with Glass Lid (Kitchen)

Just purchased this pan. First thing I made was grilled cheese. I fit 3 grilled cheese sandwiches in the pan. They came out perfectly browned and even. The most beautiful (and delicious) grilled cheese I have ever made!!!
