Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Fusing terrific performance with elegant looks and functional style, Calphalon's Tri-Ply Copper 10-inch omelet pan is a keeper. It features gently sloping sides with a flat, wide bottom, giving you the space to easily cook a six-egg omelet and then efficiently flip it over and slide it onto your plate. The most prominent feature of the pan, however, is its three-metal construction, which delivers the best qualities of each for superior function. The exterior is made of brushed copper, a terrific heat conductor that offers the added benefit of looking quite sharp. The copper exterior insulates the heavy-gauge aluminum core, which ensures even, flawless heat distribution with no hot spots. On the other side of the aluminum is an 18/10 stainless-steel pan interior, which cooks with elegance and flare. Whether you're sautéing vegetables, browning onions, or cooking eggs, your foods heat gently and won't burn into the pan.
Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware features a stainless-steel interior that's both nonreactive, so it won't discolor when exposed to acidic foods, and highly reflective, making it easier to monitor the color of the pan's contents. Other graceful additions to the omelet pan are a long, stay-cool curved handle; flared rims that minimize splashing when pouring contents out the sides; and stainless-steel rivets that hold the handle in place for the lifetime of the cookware. The pan is oven- and broiler-safe, though it should be washed by hand with soap and water rather than in the dishwasher. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen
From the Manufacturer
Introducing Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper.
A Classic for Today's Kitchen
Precision crafted to deliver the premium performance you expect from Calphalon cookware, Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper unites centuries-old culinary tradition with distinctive style. Featuring graceful curves and a stunning combination of expertly finished metals, Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper is as beautiful as it is hard-working. It will satisfy your eye for fine design as well as your appetite for fine food.
Each piece of Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware is carefully crafted from three different metals--each with its own special benefit in the kitchen.
Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware's brushed copper exterior not only brings lustrous warmth and classic beauty to your home. It also contributes to the superior conductivity and cooking performance of each pan. (Copper is among nature's best conductors of heat.) Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper pans feature an inner core of pure, heavy-gauge aluminum. Aluminum is another highly conductive metal--and the thicker the aluminum, the more conductive the pan. Together, copper and aluminum guarantee quick searing, beautiful browning and the precise cooking control you need to achieve spectacular results in the kitchen.
Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware's 18/10 stainless steel interior surface is non-reactive. It won't tarnish or change color when you cook acidic foods like tomato sauce. It's also highly reflective. That makes it easy to see inside the pan--to judge color and texture changes that indicate when foods are properly cooked.
To manufacture Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware, we bond these three metals together under extreme pressure into a single disk. The disk is then expertly drawn into its final shape-a vessel with equally thick walls and bottom, to ensure even heating.
Tri-Ply Copper is designed in the same spirit of simple, functional elegance that distinguishes all Calphalon cookware.
Gracefully-curved Cool-V long handles stay cool to the touch during stovetop cooking. Clean, unfussy stainless steel covers fit snugly inside the cookware, sealing in heat, moisture and flavor. Flared rims add strength to withstand years of spoon-rapping and cabinet-clashing--and make it easy to pour sauces neatly and safely without drips and splashes.
Caring for copper cookware.
How you care for your Tri-Ply Copper cookware depends on which look you love.
To keep your cookware looking bright and shiny, we recommend you use RADIANCE, the Calphalon cookware cleaner specially formulated for copper and stainless steel. RADIANCE is the fast easy way to maintain a spotless "like-new" shine.
Some cooks love the natural mellow patina that develops when copper is exposed to heat and air. If you're among them, simply wash your cookware in hot, sudsy water using a dishcloth, sponge or Dobie pad.
Always wash your pans by hand--never in the dishwasher. (Automatic dishwasher detergents contain harsh chemicals that can permanently discolor copper.) And be sure to dry thoroughly to prevent spots.

What to expect when you cook with copper:
Exposure to heat, air and humidity changes the appearance of copper. You can expect copper cookware to change color when you cook with it. It may turn a deeper orange, pinkish orange, or even develop purple and blue streaks. This is perfectly normal and is not permanent. As your cookware cools, these colors will subside and a warm, mellow patina will result.
The ideal way to clean copper
Some cooks love the patina that develops when copper is exposed to heat and air. If you're among them, simply wash your cookware in hot, sudsy water using a dishcloth, sponge or Dobie pad.
To restore your copper cookware to its original bright and shiny appearance, we strongly recommend you use RADIANCE, the Calphalon polishing créme specially formulated for copper and stainless steel. Simply wipe RADIANCE on with a sponge or dish-cloth, rinse well and dry thoroughly. (Take care when drying. Any remaining water droplets can cause spots!) RADIANCE is the perfect way to maintain a spotless "like-new" shine.
RADIANCE not only returns your cookware to its original luster and color, it also prevents the gradual tarnishing that occurs when copper is exposed to normal household conditions.
The ultimate cookware/cleaner combination
Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware is subtly brushed to naturally mask fingerprints, tiny scratches and other signs of daily wear. Use RADIANCE along with Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware and you'll experience the ultimate in easy copper maintenance.
Other cleaning methods:
You can also polish copper cookware by making a paste of 1-1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of coarse salt. Apply the paste to the copper surface with a sponge or dishcloth then rinse in hot water. To remove fingerprints and other small blemishes, simply buff your pan with a soft cloth.

Almost a five.,

This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
Most of my copper pots are made by Cuisinart, but they didn't have the so very useful 10" sized skillet that I was looking for this time around. Since I have had great service from other Calphalon products (knives, roasting pan, some non-stick pans), I thought I'd give this one a try.Here is how it worked out. The shape of the pan is perfect for omelette making. I used to use non stick for omelettes, but most non stick pans just diddn't have the right shape for the job, and non stick is just not as user friendly as a proper stainless cooking surface. This pan is shaped just right. It also has the right size. Anything smaller is too cramped for comfort. Anything bigger is too awkward to flip. The handle is also very well made. It is a nice stainless casting with a thin "V" section at the pan that reduces heat transfer to the working end. Very well done. My only gripes are pretty minor, and mostly personal preference. The nice handle is held in place with three rivets. I know that three sounds better than two, but the truth is that I have never had a quality two rivet pan loosen at the handle. Even my huge 5.5 qt. Cuisinart pan has two rivets, and never has shown a hint of deformation or working loose. Besides, they are all guaranteed for life. The reason I point this out is that rivets are a real pain to clean. It usually takes less time to clean the cooking surface of a pan than to clean around the rivets. Three rivets only make the job take half again as long to do. The Calphalon pans are also finished with a satin/matte look. This is said to be easier to keep print free, but I think it is just a cost saving step for them. Cleaning takes the same amount of time. While the handle is polished to a beautiful shine, the copper and stainless pan surfaces look dull and lifeless compared to the mirror finish of my Cuisinart pans. This is not a functional issue though, as the cooking surface performs as well as any of it's more polished neighbors on the rack. The last nit pick is that although these pans are priced about the same as the other brand, it appears that the tri metal sheet it is stamped from has a somewhat thinner layer of copper. Aside from looking good, the copper provides the fantastic heat conductivity that prevents hot spots like no other cooking material. It probably means little in practice, but more copper is a very good thing. Anyway, if the look bothers me that much, I'll probably take it to the shop and polish it myself. Meanwhile, it is an overall outstanding omelette pan, and you should have one in your kitchen.

How can you go wrong?,

This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
I bought this thinking that I would make omelettes every weekend, yet I find myself cooking with it almost nightly. I see that the heat is well distributed throughout the suface and that cooking is very consistent with this pan. I expected it to be built sturdy, perform well, endure rough handling and basically not let me down in the kitchen. All of my expectations were met or exceeded, so don't think that this pan is just for omelettes. I use it to sear and braise tenderloins all the time, and it handles liquids when de-glazing better than any other pan I own. My only regrets are not buying some copper cleaner, as this pan tarnished and stained after my first use. If you are a purist who likes your equipment to look good all the time, you might not like this pan as it will immediately acquire a patina of age, yet if you want something that can perform and dont mind and can handle the discoloration, then by all means, look into getting yourself a copper omelette pan...

This review is from: Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
This is an excellent pan, a little effort is required to keep the copper looking naturally beautiful but that is to be expected. It's heavy which is another indicator of the quality. Although vinegar and salt will clean the copper, they won't shine it so be prepared to use metal polish to have it looking it's best.
