I have the Kitchenaid 5 ply cookware set which is wonderful, but needed some non stick cookware. I have the Calphalon 10" griddle. The non stick is great, but the outside of it is horrible! No matter what I do it looks dirty. I swore never to buy anymore hard anodized cookware, but the price on this Kitchenaid pan was so good I decided to give it a try. It is wonderful! The nonstick surface truly is nonstick, and the outside stays clean looking! I love this pan!!!

Update
February, 2010 and I still love this pan. It is a good as new, and I use it frequently

This pan was purchased as a gift for my spouse and we love it. It does not stick, it looks great and all at a nice price. We have more costly pans but this one works better then all of them.

I don't know why, but part of the surface was ruined and now is no longer non-stick. It looks like the surface was burned. (It has always been hand washed and never used with metal utensils.)

Also, it is quite heavy and a little hard to handle when transferring from the stove and/or while washing.
