Since I cook for one, I have found this to be an extremely versatile, high quality pan adequate for nearly all of my needs. "Non stick" is totally true for this model - I have had no need for cooking spray for any foods. It cleans beautifully with a quick swipe of the soapy sponge, heats evenly, and the lid (a rare find for an omelet pan!) does not become overheated during cooking. Quality is superb.

This is a great pan! The perfect weight, size, lid....my husband, a scrambled-egg chef, loves it. Reasonable price, easy to clean--what's not to like?

I was looking for a nonstick pan with a lid for not only eggs but some light frying. This pan is really shallow, there are other pans that are much deeper for omelets which give a bit more room to flip the food without spilling over. For my purpose, this is good, the pan is lightweight and fits 4 eggs easily. I've had the pan for a while and did not abuse it, the nonstick coating is still on it. The lid is great for heating up some sauces without having to watch over it every single second, this is good value because it comes with a lid. The only thing that could make it better is if the lid had a little vent hole.

The pan is reasonably well-made and cooks nicely, but I didn't realize that an "omelet" style fry pan was so shallow. It would help if the product descriptions gave dimensions, including the heighth. Not a problem for some things, but with such curved sides, simply trying to turn eggs pushes them up (and over) the sides. When frying meats, the short sides allow more spattering on the stovetop. The pan should either have taller or more upright sides to correct this problem.

It also seems rather light weight. I've only had it for a few weeks, so cannot comment on durability, but it does clean up easily and nothing sticks to the nonstick surface, at least so far.

I'm going to try either an Anolon or a Circulon as the pictures show them both as having taller sides and more upright sides.

Awesome little pan. Super slick with a lid to boot. Can't go wrong with Calphalon. One note: if I was doing it over again, I'd get the 10" pan. Two eggs fit snugly in this pan, but no more.

I love this pan and my other Calphalon pans! This is the perfect size for frying up 2-3 eggs and makes for easy clean up. I can't believe that I can fry eggs without oil or butter! Just use one of those silicone spatulas and you're good to go. Maybe the one thing I don't like about it is the really smooth bottom that makes it hard to keep it straight on my crappy coil stove. I also like that it's light and comes with a lid. I'll continue to by from Calphalon!

this is a real good quality pan. i would rather have had one with a vent in the lid but was unable to find one. i cook for 1 so this pan gets a pretty good workout. so far it has held up very good, cleans up easily and the exterior is very durable.

After searching at various retail outlets for a 8 inch pan I finally caved in and purchased this product from Amazon. I have many other pots and pans in the Simply Calphalon product line & am overall very pleased with it. I hesitated because I felt that the price was a little steep, but you pretty much get what you pay for when it comes to quality cookware. It is a great little pan with a handy lid & lives up to my high expectations.

Read a review on Cook's Illustrated recommending Calphalon non-stick. I've used it daily since receiving the pan. Not a scratch on it. I'm 100% satisfied.

I use this pan 3 to 5 times a week to cook eggs. My only negative observation is the rivets on the inside. I find egg stickier to clean than other foods anyway. The exposed rivets compounds this. The handle is comfortable & stays cooler than many similar pans. No need for a pot holder for the short cooking time and low heat needed for eggs. The handle is also relatively thick so if you hang it from a curved hook it's a bit tricky. All in all I am happy with my purchase.
