Product Description

Amazon.com Review

So versatile it's called an "everyday" pan, this big, round pan is perfect for stir-frying a meal for eight, braising, and roasting a bird or a hunk of meat in the oven. Use it also for cooking fajitas or for any sautéing or frying task. It's 12 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches deep, and its nonstick coating is durable enough to go safely into the oven at up to 450 degrees F. Its domed glass lid collects and returns moisture to food and permits you to monitor the cooking progress without reducing the inside temperature. To extend the nonstick coating's life, use only plastic, nylon, and wood utensils. The matte-finish exterior is anodized for hardness. The two handles are double riveted for durability and balance. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots and warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pan!, April 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Calphalon Professional Nonstick II 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid (Kitchen)

We recently purchased this pan along with an 8-piece cookware set. This was a great addition. Quality pan, excellent non-stick, good appearance, and great "feel". The glass lid makes it easy to keep an eye on things however the lid handle does get hot. We use this pan for cooking chicken, taco meat, and other things constantly. It doesn't have a long handle, which may make dishing up a challenge sometimes, but not having a long handle makes putting it on the back burner and leaving it to simmer a breeze!!! I highly recommend this pan! It truly was a great addition!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Everyday" is well named, September 1, 2000

I got this for my first Paella effort, and it worked great!! Would handle 4 people with plenty to spare, 6 with reasonable portions. Flat bottom, shallow sides allows double-use as a skillet. Sits well on the table, too, (having two loop handles instead of a long, straight one) making direct stove to table-top serving visually appealing.

It is incredible!!! How did I manage to do without this pan for years??? It is now the most used pan in my set. I reach for it more often then any other pan. It is so versatile to use - from boiling to sauteing, to frying, to slow cooking, it does it all. It is capacious, but not too deep so it is perfect for most daily cooking jobs. It is oh so easy to clean, nothing sticks to it like all the ads say (all cooking disasters are easily hidden from family view with one flip into the garbage disposal :-). I would recommend it to all serious and not-so-serious aspiring Julia Child in the kitchen.
