This review is from: Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 8-Inch Omelet Pan, Chili Red (Kitchen)

I am in love with this pan. I ordered the 8 inch omelette pan as a test-run with the idea of possibly purchasing an entire set of this cookware. I am looking to replace a set of Calphalon stainless cookware, which I hate because EVERYTHING sticks to it. I want to avoid Teflon, because I have a pet bird, and Teflon is very very bad for birds, and honestly, if cookware can kill my bird, it can't be that great for me either, regardless of the assurances that DuPont tries to give.

I thought I would give this a whirl. I tested it out with eggs, as they are one of my biggest challenges with the stainless - half of the eggs stay in the pan, and even with my one remaining teflon pan eggs can still stick.

They don't stick to this pan. Water doesn't even stick to this pan, it runs right off and leaves a couple of beads behind. So I scrambled up some eggs, gave the pan a spritz of olive oil spray and about a teaspoon of butter. The eggs came out smooth and tasty leaving only a slight residue around the pan at the level the liquified eggs filled it to. I let the pan cool before washing it (to avoid thermal shock.) A tiny bit of dish-soap, a swipe with a dobie pad and no trace of the eggs remained. I gave it a quick scrub and it wound up clean as a whistle.

That is how it has been every time I use this pan. Chantal says that it is dishwasher safe, but I have yet to put it in the dishwasher - I haven't needed to, it is that easy to clean.

The pan is also quite substantial, it isn't as heavy as cast-iron, but it does have some heft to it. If you hit someone over the head with it might not knock them out like cast-iron, but it would certainly throw them for a loop, so you know, I wouldn't recommend it. It also probably would void the warranty, which is for the lifetime of the original owner. Nice.

Now I just need to save up the cash for the 10 piece set, because I am sold on this cookware.

I do not cook very often and I misplaced my skillet used for cooking eggs and onions. I purchased the Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 8 Inch Omelette Pan and it cooks very well and clean up is a breeze. I am very impressed with this product. When I do need to cook the Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 8 Inch Omelette Pan is one of the first things I grab.

This review is from: Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 8-Inch Omelet Pan, Chili Red (Kitchen)

We purchased this pan as a green alternative to our conventional 8" non-stick pan. We liked the idea of a cooking surface that was chemical free and we liked the look of this particular piece. Additionally, we were pleased that it was made in Germany and not China. After about a month of use I can report mixed results. The pan works best using low or low medium heat. Anything higher and there is a tendency to decrease any non-stick ability the enamel surface possesses. With some foods, or in a slow reheat of already cooked foods, the pan is excellent. With other foods, frying an egg for instance, the pan has a tendency to stick even when using oil. Clean up has been easy regardless of how the pan performed while cooking. Chantal has the look and feel of quality and is a welcome addition to our kitchen even with it's limited non-stick performance.
