 The pan's names says it all.... !!Sep 10, 2009
By Gary Jones
"Travel Junkie"
My wife is an excellent chef. We eat high-end restaurant quality dinner virtally every night. We bought a set of non-stick pans quite a number of years ago, and one pan was used so much that she essentially wore it out and the non-stick surface eventually failed. The pan that she liked so much, and used almost every day was a pan that is very similar to this pan. The pan has no long handles, but rather two short handles, one on each side, making it very easy to grip and control. When I started to look for a replacement, I immediately found the Calphalon Everyday Pan. The first one I bought was the hard anodized 12" pan. She loved it but she also wished that it was non-stick. I also bought the 10" non-stick at the same time as this first pan. She loved that one also and used it all the time, but needed the 12". So, we turned around and bought this non-stick 12" Everyday Pan. She literally uses one of these three pans (almost always the 12" Calphalon non-stick) every day. Since I do the dishes, I am aware how much of a daily pattern it is. These pans are fantastic. We both particularly like the two short handles used on these pans. You get tremendous control of the pan with the two small handles compared to the one long handle or even the combinations of one long and one short handle. if you have never used one of these pans, you owe it to yourself to buy one and give it a try. My guess is that would will find it one of the most useful and versatile pans in the kitchen. Wonderful product by a wonderful manufacturer!!

I LOVE this pan!Feb 08, 2005
By Ruth
"Lotokats"
I use it EVERYDAY! I can sear/brown my food - and put into the oven to finish cooking! No more dirtying a skillet AND a baking sheet! The only think I DON'T use it for is soups and stews. Clean up is an absolute breeze. I used to be a fan of T-Fal - not anymore. Like they say - "You only get what you pay for!" Paid $79 here at Amazon - worth every penny!

 Hot handlesApr 14, 2010
By P. Weis
"Paul"
This pan is the pefect pan for so much of my cooking.
It is for that reason that I am so frustrated with the amount of heat the side handles and the top handle retain.
I have never burnt my fingers as much as I have with these pans.
The non stick surface is amazing, and the pans clean up in a second.
They would get a five star if they threw in a set of insulated handle covers.

I love using this pan "everyday"!Jul 18, 2009
By KatyDid
Great pan and great size. Rarely does a day go by when I don't use this pan, if not at breakfast then surely by dinner. One-pot meals, frittatas, braised chicken... you name it.
The non-stick works well, the glass top is nice and heavy, and the pan is durable and cleans up like a dream. Oh, and I simply love that I can put it in the oven!
I had originally been looking for a pan that would replace an old deep skillet. This pan isn't quite as deep as my previous skillet, but it still works well in our house. One thing that drew me to this pan was the idea of the two handles - one on either side. I've found them to be very practical and it works great on a busy, crowded stovetop. Just keep in mind that if you are trying the two-handled pan for the first time, pouring off liquids is a little more difficult; the long-handle on other skillets give you leverage as you tip the pan and it keeps your hand away from the heat. With this pan (and others like it), you have to hold on with a potholder as you pour or strain. The handle on the lid also gets quite hot, but just remember to lift it off with a potholder and you're fine.
I'm quite pleased with Calphalon and after this purchase, I bought a grill pan and an omelet pan as well - I love them all so much I rarely use anything else!

Good, long-lasting nonstick pan, good for glass cooktopsFeb 28, 2011
By Luca P.C.P.
I have had this pan for several years (in fact, I own three, in different sizes). It cooks very uniformly, and it has proven to be very long-lasting (I wash it always by hand). It is also very easy to wash and maintain. It works very well over glass cooktops. It is very much better than the common cheap aluminum pans: the non-stick material is much better applied, and has no tendency to peel, and the heat distribution is much more uniform.
I recommend it highly.
