I was using my George Foreman grill for almost everything, but decided that once in a while I didn't want to clean the grill pans and I would rather cook on the stove, so I ordered this Calphalon grill pan.

I have other Calphalon products and they hold up very well. The non stick finish makes it super easy to clean. I do not use any non stick spray oils in any of my pans just olive oil, butter or canola since it is my understanding that the non stick sprays can ruin the finish. I also hand wash my pans.

So far, I am very pleased with this pan for the price and the durability.

I've had this grill pan for about 5 months now, and I use it regularly (a few times a week). It's awesome!

It's such a time saver, since I can grill right on the stove without having to start up the outdoor grill. This is especially true if I only need to grill up a few pieces of meat or make a quick grilled cheese sandwich or if there's a thunderstorm outside and I really want to make a burger...I heat up the pan, do what I need, and that's it. Coming from a guy who loves to BBQ and grill, the only thing you'll miss is (obviously) the smoky flavor (nothing a little liquid smoke can't fix), but you'll get everything else-- the sear, the char, and the grill marks.

The easy cleaning is probably what won me over. 8 out of 10 times, I just let the pan cool naturally on the stove, and then come back later in the night to wipe clean with a paper towel and then rinse under warm water by hand/soft sponge with a little bit of dish soap. A handful of times when there's a lot of char and gunk on it when I'm done, I've let it cool down and fill it up with water to let it sit in water. That way, it softens up all the burnt pieces and makes for easier paper towel wiping & hand rinsing later on.

Highly recommended!

I can't imagine not having this pan. It is perfect for hamburgers and bacon because it keeps whatever you are cooking/grilling out of the fat. This pan is light enough that it heats up very quickly while still feeling sturdy.

I browned four huge chicken breasts on the stove, and am finishing them off in the oven as I write this review. The Calphalon Professional products are great.

We purchased this pan for its size and for the ridges in the bottom. Our explicit use is for cooking bacon and while we are sure it works for plenty of other things it works perfectly for our bacon mornings! It also works really well for omelets too but for us it was a no brainer to buy because the standard pans are just too small to cook any decent size portion of bacon. FYI, the ridges also help keep the whatever you are making from burning. Either way if you're looking for a good pan to cook up some bacon look no further. As an aside, the pan is very light and almost seems flimsy but our opinion is that it's just a light pan that does its job well.

This pan is exactly what I hoped it would be. It's easy to use and easy to clean. And it's light too! Glad I read other reviews about the 13-inch pan and decided to go with this one instead. This one is surprisingly large.

Calphalon Rocks. I use this pan to grill veggies when foul weather stops me from going outside. Its a great pan. I have used it to grill steaks, asparagus, chicken, peppers etc.. heats evenly and cleans up fast and easy. I have several calphalon and they never disapoint. Do not waste money on cheap pans again. For a few dollars more than the brands at Wally World you can have these. The key to success with these an all nonstick pans is to preheat to medium heat and use a small amount of oil from a mister such as Misto. That way your food begins to cook the moment it touches the pan and wont stick. Did I mention that these pans ROCK?

Product is perfect; i've used few times since purchase and the performance is amazing... Heat distribution very uniform and nothing sticks (at all)

Just received the pan, and have to wonder if it's the correct item! The plain white box didn't reveal any manufacturer labeling, and the pan is not stamped with any Calphalon marks - only Made in China! I checked to be sure and the other Calphalon products we own indicate US manufacture, and contain clear Calphalon imprinting. Hmmmmm.... Hopefully it'll provide good service!

I've been using this grill pan for a couple on months now and I really do like it. It cooks well. I am giving it 4 stars because it isn't quite as heavy as I'd hoped, and it got a bit too hot and warped just abit in a short period of time before I could remove it from the heat. It's really easy to clean, leaves nice grill marks on meat and has deep enough wells to keep the grease away from what you are cooking.
