First Usage

The first time I used this product was to cook srambled eggs and was disappointed that the eggs stuck to the pan and I really had to work hard to clean it. I would HIGHLY recommend that this product be seasoned or use oil the first time this product is used.

product review

I own a caphalon set already and wanted to expand on what I currently have. Good quality, sturdy. I would have bought a lid to go with it had there been one available.

Finally, we find the ultimate cookware

I have tired of non-stick coated pans that wear and scuff and need to be replaced every few years. SO nice to find a quality cooking set that is NOT non-stick coated and yet still easy to clean. I had a similar aluminum calphalon pan which has beautifully lasted 30 years and I finally decided to find more. None of the typical outlets carry this commercial grade aluminum model (Bed, Bath & Beyond, Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table, etc) so I decided to check out your direct website and voila, there it all was! I bought a complete set for my husband's birthday. He loves it - cooks and cleans up wonderfully.

Not nonstick

This was the worst frying pan for food sticking to it that I have ever used. Although it looks like it is nonstick, it is not. I was allowed to return this for a full refund though, which was greatly appreciated! I bought the simply nonstick in it's place and it is wonderful.

We own many Calphalon pieces and find that the commercial hard-anodized pans hold-up well over the years. There is no coating to be scratched on the cooking surface and, with a little fat, food does not stick during cooking. Clean-up is easy as well.
