Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised., November 22, 2003

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Double Griddle (Kitchen)

I use this pan for bacon and eggs, just for the two of us. I let it preheat a little so that the pan is completely hot. I put bacon on one end and eggs on the other. I put a big round glass lid over the bacon so that it doesn't splatter. It's perfect for cooking up bacon for a crowd if we have company. It sits perfectly flat against the stove top, which is my ceramic stove top requires. It's great for breakfast, grilled sandwiches, hamburgers for a crowd, etc. I've owned a number of griddles over the years and the Calphalon griddle is my favorite.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best griddles on the market, August 15, 2004

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Double Griddle (Kitchen)

Calphalon has become my favorite brand of cookware. Although I prefer the company's traditional hard-anodized professional line, I bought this nonstick double griddle because Calphalon does not make a fully hard-anodized griddle. The rectangular pan easily covers two burners and is great for making pancakes, grilled sandwiches, eggs - whenever you need a large flat cooking surface.

I have a gas range, and I find that the heat does not distribute as evenly as I'd like, though it's adequate for most cooking purposes. Cooks with electric ranges might get better results with their more radiant burner system. The uneven heating is in part due to the pan's design since it spans two burners with obviously a gap between two heat sources. However, you can't beat this useful griddle for cooking of a batch of pancakes or other family meals more quickly than you would with one pan. The nonstick surface has proven to be durable, and the pan itself is extremely sturdy.

If you are looking for a griddle and often have to juggle two pans to accommodate one recipe, this product is for you. Make sure you have a large enough storage area for it, though, as you don't want your other metal pans to scratch the non-stick surface. (I store mine on its side in one of my deeper cabinets.) From handle to handle, the pan measures 23"; it is about 11" wide.

As griddles go, this is one of the best. Don't settle for a flimsy aluminum pan if you are a serious cook.

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Double Griddle (Kitchen)

This griddle is a great addition to my cookware. I have used it several times and have not been disappointed. It cooks pancakes evenly and perfectly all the way across my two burners. I noticed that in some of the reviews for various brands of griddles that they were not to be used on glass cooktops. This one works and I am very pleased with my purchase. The only thing I might add is that it does not have trough around the edges to drain the fat. When I cook bacon, it has to sit in the grease until I take it off the griddle. However this is not too much of a problem as I make sure it is well drained before I serve it. It is a little pricey for no more than I use it, but it is a great product and I don't think you could go wrong with this one if you are in the market for a double griddle. Amazon does have the best prices around.
