Well, "um" My dad has my first Calphalon pan. He stole it from me. ha, ha...He loves it to cook my mom breakfast.

So, I needed a new one.

This pan has a triple-coated nonstick interior - nothing sticks, it just slips around.

Trust me, this is important when frying eggs.

There is also a certain sound that seems to be unique to these pans. The food not only cooks well, it sounds good while it is cooking. Yeah, that sounds strange, but you will see what I mean. These pans just have a touch of class to them that is unequalled.

The tri-ply stainless construction includes an aluminum core. It is meticulously crafted and the pan sits flat and doesn't move, even on the flat cooktops. The heat distribution is great.

Flared Rim and sloped sides perfect for omelets or sautéing
Stay Cool Handle - very impressive, didn't even get warm
100% dishwasher safe

This pan is also oven safe to 450 degrees, however they don't recommend you use this for broiler use as it will damage the nonstick surface of the pan.

I was skeptical because on a flat cooking surface, many pans will actually start spinning. This pan just sat there and that was impressive.

The base is completely flat and that is the beauty. You would be amazed at how many pans are not completely flat.

Covered by a lifetime Warranty so they will repair or replace any item that is found to be defective.

The Nonstick Calphalon Cookware is a real favorite for frying because nothing sticks!

Made this cook smile!

~The Rebecca Review

I have a wide range of cookware. The Calphalon Tri-Ply stainless is the best I've found. Other stainless with an aluminum disk on the bottom only are the worst I've found. The non-stick on the Calphalon Tri-Ply is the best, and this little 8" is one of my favorite pans.

So why only 4 stars? The handle could be a little larger, but my only real complaint is about the Tri-Ply line, in general. Although the Calphalon Tri-Ply is a much better value than All Clad, the line is so small (basically only omelette pans, sauce pans, and a stock pot), that this pan is the unmatched odd-ball since I had to go to other brands or lines for a wok, griddle, casserole, steamer, etc., etc. It's too bad, too. The All Clad stainless line is so much more comprehensive, but compare the price on this pan alone and the Tri-Ply is 1/4!

I have a fair collection of tri-ply stainless, all-clad, meyer, etc. I purchased a pair of these pans for bruch cooking. They
worth every penny, even though they are imported (China).
Fit, finish, and balance excellent. Worth twice the price.

The nonstick frying pans are the final piece to the Tri-Ply line. We have a complete set of the line's stainless pans, but nothing is easier for making some quick breakfast eggs than these nonsticks. It's a shame that Calphalon has discontinued the non-stick pans in the line.

I own many Calphalon pans and all are either the stainless tri-ply or the nonstick stainless like this. I have the 8", 10" and 12" pans. These pans are made of the highest quality. The outside has a brilliant polished stainless luster and the inside a very high quality non-stick surface. I can make anything in these and clean up is a breeze. Burn stuff on it and it will practically come clean with a paper towel! It takes a quick wash with a soft cloth and it is done. Food never sticks. I use these almost everyday and have had no problems, the non-stick is just like new still. I never use metal utensils, only wood, plastic, or ideally silicone. Also, don't put them in the dishwasher, they clean easy and you risk etching them with the harsh chemicals in dishwasher detergent. Trust me, you can put them in the dishwasher, but they clean so easily you would be really protecting them if you don't. I have been using this pan now for 2 years and it is still like new even though I use it at least 3 times a week. Also, even though it has a metal handle, it stays cool. It will start to get hot if you cook on very high heat or for an extended period of time, but in most cases it stays cool to the touch and I don't need to employ a hot pad. A great pan for reasonable money!!

I give it 5 starts because it is a quality pan...it is just too small. I bought the 12 inch version also and am happy I did. Better to have too big a pan, but fits all my needs than a small one that can't do everything!

I picked this up on a special promotion for ~$20, and for that price it is unbeatable. Has held up for years of regular use & dishwasher cleaning. Be sure to get some soft spatulas with your first non-stick pan purchase...!

This was the favorite of all my Calphalon non stick pans. It could go in the dishwasher safely, looked beautiful, cooked like a dream and was a perfect price. Everything was wonderful, but all of a sudden the non-stick coating gave up sticking to the surface and came peeling off, as if the adhesive had given up. It wasn't abused and I used the right utensils and never cooked with it on high heat. Now I have to return it to the manufacturer and the pan has been discontinued. What a pain!
