This is such a handy sized pan. It is great for one grilled cheese, scrambled eggs or omelettes for one and any small sauteeing job. I like the Contemporary Nonstick series from Calphalon because I have never had any success using the anodized type of pan, this is the more traditional non-stick and I am happy with it. I've had several of this series for over six months now and the surface is holding up fine, no deterioration so far. The design of the pan is good, the handle stays cool on the stovetop and you can put it in the oven because it is all metal. The weight is comfortable and the shape is stable on my gas cooktop.

I love this pan and use it all the time. I make eggs or a frittata for 1-2 people, hot sandwiches, small quantities of sauce and can even blanch small amounts of vegetables in it. I have both this and the 10 inch pan and for a 2 person home I use this 8 inch pan most often. If you have a larger home then the 10 inch would probably be more handy.

This omelette pan by Calphalon is outstanding. For the first time in my life, I can actually make an omelette without it falling apart.

This is a replacement for the same product purchased about 7 years ago. Eventually the non-stick surface chips and flakes, but it WAS used nearly every day, and we didn't always remember to use wood or silicone utinsels. All in all, a good piece of cookware: heavy enough to heat evenly, and easy to clean (do NOT put this pan in the dishwasher). We also have this pan in the 10" size.

This is the most-used pan in my cupboard - I have the whole set, but if I had to choose just one, this would be it. Versatile, easy to clean, good size. Remember to follow cooking and cleaning directions - I seared tuna too hot in one pan and marked it...but for general use, sauteing etc., it will last forever!

I have used this Nonstick 8-Inch Omelet Pan mainly to cook omelets. The omelets are delicious and don't stick to the pan. This pan is well made, heavy enough, and food doesn't stick to it.

This Calphalon is nicely sized and balanced. However, I'm still looking for the perfect non-stick fry pan. I've used this for the last month, and have found the non-stick qualities and cleanability (if there is such a word) haven't performed to my expectations. My main use is for eggs, and they still stick, especially if scrambled. I use Egg Beaters, and haven't found that they "slid" out of the pan, OR easily wiped-clean.

We got this pan for making omelets. However, the handle became very hot, too hot to grab even, and the pan was unusable safely. We had to return it.

I will never ever purchase any other pots and pans besides Calphalon. I purchased a set of pots and pans, but this small pan was not included so I purchased it separately. It is small and the perfect size when you are cooking something small.

If you can afford it buy it. I can't afford it but I was lucky enough to get one as a free gift. This pan is awesome it wipes clean and food never sticks as long as you follow the instructions. I will definetly be on the lookout for a good deal on a set.
