stains

I love the tri-ply. I am a culinary student discovering the benefits of good cookware. The pan delivers the even heating as described. The handle remains cool, and I like the weight and feel. The one thing that frustrated me, when I cleaned the pan after cooking sausage patties I couldn't get the stains out. I only used a sponge and mild dish soap. I will try a product for stainless steel next. I tend to be anal-retentive about things like this. Overall I love the product.

Good product

I have used the pan a few times already and really like it. I bought it to replace a non-stick calphalon pan that I came to hate. Definitely works just as well as any others. I am glad I heeded others' advice and didn't plunge into purchasing the more expensive All-Clad. This one is perfect.

Great Skillet!

I've only used this skillet once since I received it, but I liked how evenly it browned my chicken thighs. Then I just popped it into the oven to finish cooking. Couldn't do that with the nonstick pans I was using before. I've just taken a new interest in making sauces, and the fond left behind in this skillet will make that easier. I don't know why they call this an omelette pan, though! It is way more useful than that! (and I prefer nonstick pans for omelettes)

Nice size pan, but not a match to my set.

My hubby ordered this for me for Christmas. He said he was on the phone with customer service several times to make sure this matched our Contemporary Stainless set that we already had. When I received it I immediately noticed that it was the Tri-ply stainless and not the Contemporary Stainless. It works great, but dosen't match the set we already have. I am disappointed in this as my hubby said he and the customer service rep talked for hours regarding this purchase as a match for our current set. If there is a Contemporary Stainless 12 inch or larger skillet, then I am not a satisfied customer, as I would expect a customer service rep to know the difference between the 2 different sets. If there is not a comparable skillet in the Contemporary Stainless set, then I am satisfied with the product, but not satisfied with Customer service in helping my hubby with this purchase. He was also told that there was not a lid available from Calphalon to fit the skillet, but to check with Bed Bath and Beyond for it. If the product is available at a retailer then why is it not available from the manufacturer's site???

works very well, love the no non-stick inside surface.
