1.0 out of 5 stars great pan, bad coating, May 15, 2010

This review is from: Simply Calphalon Nonstick 13-Inch Round Grill Pan (Kitchen)

For the first few months I owned this pan, it earned five stars. The heat distribution is even, the nonstick surface is great...the only difficulty was cleaning the crannies where the grill lines meet the pan surface, but even that was a pleasure because I was always full of perfectly cooked chicken or steak. I bought the 11" square griddle, too, and it's great.

This pan lost all its stars because, even though I've been using nylon tools and Scotch Brite Multi-Purpose "Safe for Non-Stick!" sponges, the nonstick coating is coming off. I'm eating Teflon, or whatever it is they use to coat the pan. I can actually wear it off visibly by scrubbing it with a sponge. From a company like Calphalon, for a pan that's less than a year old, this sort of performance should earn negative stars, but one is as low as Amazon goes.

I've contacted them. If this turns out to be a manufacturer's defect and the replacement pan works for five years, I'll go right back to five stars when I update this review. I'll even revise it right when I get the pan. If I have to pay for return shipping, though, that'll cost a star. No way am I going to pay to return something defective just to get what I paid for in the first place.

I purchased this grill pan based upon it's best-in-class review from Cook's Illustrated. I have no regrets. This pan delivers excellent grill marks to meats and vegetables. I was pleasantly surprised by the large cooking area this round pan offers. In addition to performance, the price of this pan is hard to beat. It's an excellent addition to any kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this pan & it gets TONS of use, November 17, 2008

This review is from: Simply Calphalon Nonstick 13-Inch Round Grill Pan (Kitchen)

I purchased this pan last Christmas (2007) locally for about $25. I had a pricey square Calphalon pan that we used but found it to be on the small size for cooking family meals. This larger round version is our favorite and is the pan that we reach for first when searching for a grill pan. The lighter version doesn't seem to make a difference in cooking & the pan cleans nicely.
Our use is not limited to hamburgers. Try bacon, other meats & even sliced veggies.

2/9/2010: We are still using this pan 3-4 times/week. It is holding up very well & still cleaning up nicely.
