Excellent Calphalon One Nonstick Pan, February 6, 2008
This review is from: Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pan (Kitchen)
I usually don't use Nonstick very much and prefer the Calphalon One Infused Anodized pans. But, sometimes there are eggs and cheese and sticky stuff to deal with. I have usually bought a set of less expensive Nonstick in sets, an 8", 10" and 12" and they are usually good for 1 or 2 years and then I toss them and buy another inexpensive set. Pricier Nonstick has problems after a few years too, but with Calphalon One's Lifetime Warranty and a low price tag I thought I'd give it a shot.
This Calphalon One 12" Nonstick Pan with a lid was a promotional deal just too good to pass up for $49.95 (usually $130 without a lid) and so I bought 2 and gave one to a friend as a gift. She loves it. Over the past 5 weeks I have used mine at least a dozen times for eggs and cheesy foods and it works just fine just like a quality pan should. Food glides right out of the pan and the 12" high-quality glass lid is a great feature. The pan itself is also a rugged high-quality pan one would expect from Calphalon One. I have 6 other Calphalon One Pans and this one is high-quality just like all the others. Made in the USA with a Lifetime Warranty which they do honor. With the Nonstick it is a good idea to season the pan with Xtra Virgin Olive Oil when you first get the new pan.
I'd encourage anyone looking for a high-quality 12" Nonstick pan to buy this one at $49.95 before the promo price ends. The only difference between this one and the non-promo pan( at $130) is that this one has a $35 lid included and does not have the helper handle...which I seldom use anyway. A great deal you should not miss. Cheers!
2 Year Update 2/23/10: I have used this pan now for over 2 years and the nonstick is still in very good condition as well as the entire pan. I would guess that I have cooked with it about 450 times in the 2 year period. I usually will use it with anything that could be sticky like eggs, cheese, bacon, etc. I do notice that the nonstick surface is not as pristine as it was 2 years ago and I notice a few very light marks although I only use nylon or wood utensils with it. I also season it from time to time with Xtra Virgin Olive Oil. Otherwise, it is 2 years old and cooking great and the nonstick is working just fine, something my cheapie pans never could do after a year or so.

Calphalon 12Inch Fry Pan, March 22, 2008
This review is from: Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pan (Kitchen)
This is a wonderful fry pan. The pan is a bit heavy, but the easy clean up makes up for the weight and the quality of the pan is great. I am very pleased with this product and will go with the Calphalon brand for any other new cookware I will need.

awesome pan, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pan (Kitchen)
I have used other Calphalon One nonstick pans before and loved them. So when they offered this pan for $50 with a lid, I jumped on it. I'm glad that I did. It is very nonstick and up to par with Calphalon's other pans. But it is a bit shallow than i expected. I find myself still reaching for my 5qt saute pan by calphalon more often. But a great deal, and quick shipping. Well worth what I paid.
