Calphalon Nonstick Frying Pan Set with Stay-Cool Handles, 8- and 10-Inch, Grey

I have a complete set of the pots and pans with lids etc etc. I purchased these as an extension of that set. They are easy to clean, heat evenly and maintain that heat and if you use the proper utensils they remain non stick for a very long time. I usually add a bit of butter or oil of some kind to aid in the non stick but also for flavor. DO NOT clean with harsh detergent and always use a sponge or a non abrasive brush and they will stay nice and scratch free. Also, hot hot water is key in helping to breakdown any grease or residue. These pans are worth every penny you pay.

Calphalon pans have been in my kitchen for years. I have purchased several sets from Amazon and have also purchased them for gifts. I love them. The price has greatly increased. The pans now are much lighter, and thinner. I sure hope they hold up. They say ok for dishwasher but I can tell you from experience they don't last as long if you do put them in the dishwasher. Love these pans. As I said hope the NEW thinner style will last as long.

The only reason I'm having to buy these pans, is because of my son-in-law. He has ruined my other pans by NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. These are the rules with any non-stick pan that you want to KEEP non-stick. 1) No high heat! These pans work exceedingly well at low and medium. Even pre-heating these pans on high will warp the metal and damage the non-stick coating. 2)HAND WASH ONLY! Automatic dishwasher detergents have caustic agents in them that will damage certain metals and will ruin non-stick coatings. 3) NO SPRAYS! Things like Pam have a propellent in them that will also damage the non-stick coating. 4) NO COLD WATER ON A HOT PAN! Who does that? I've seen him take a sizzling hot pan and run cold water right out of the faucet on it. Really? I'm sure that he does that to get the grease out, while the pan is still hot. But, doing so will warp the metal and ruin the non-stick coating. 5) NO METAL UTENSILS! Again, who does that? I've seen metal spoons, ladles, forks, spatulas and even KNIVES used on my pans. Don't do that. Just.....DON'T. Calphalon brand pans are some of the best on the market and will last YEARS if they are treated with care and respect. I have a full set of Calphalon pots and pans. I am very pleased with them and have full confidence that everything I cook in them is going to turn out great. Good purchase. Five stars.

The 10" pan is all you want from a nice, nice-stick pan. Thick walled, even heating, fast heating, durable. The handle remains cool, and despite the thickness of the walls it's not heavy. So all in all, and excellent pan. However, don't buy the set. While the 10" pan is pretty much perfect, the 8" pan's handle is about 2" too short. At first I couldn't figure out why they'd do this, then I realized that if the handle was the appropriate length, the pan would fall over. The handle is so short it's almost unusable, as it gets too hot that close to the pan. And I don't have very large hands. This would be a 5-star product if not for the handle length of the 8" pan.

I like the pans

We are very satisfied with the 2-piece non-stick Calphalon fry pans we recently purchased. The surface is smooth, just remember to use the proper non-stick utensils with any pan of this type! they're very easy to clean. This is the 2nd set we've had, can't remember how long the 1st set lasted, but definitely got our money's worth!

These pans are great! My last non-stick pan purchase was from Pampered chef, and they only lasted a year. I was pretty disappointed in those, so I wanted to find something more durable, and ACTUALLY nonstick! Not to mention less expensive! .my hubby and I found these and we love them! You really don't need any oil in them at all, and they wash so incredibly easily. Also, I was quite pleased with how the handles only get warm, and not hot to the touch. We've been using these almost daily for over a month, and very pleased! Also my husband is happy with how easy he can flip an egg in the smaller one.

10/2/21 Update - Yesterday I FINALLY got to speak to someone at Calphalon and I wasn't on hold forever. She created a new case and upgraded my replacement pans to their Signature Series for the aggravation of getting mine replaced (and I don't think they have any more of the 8" pans of what I originally bought). I think it might take up to a few business weeks to receive. Still not changing the title of my review because I did have trouble getting someone to resolve this. I did raise it from 1 star to 3. I hope these pans hold up much better than my originals. I was working with a customer service person who agreed to replace my 8" and 10" pans. We've been communicating since 9/5/21 after I submitted the warranty claim. I've had some family issues which interfered with my being able to give them all of the information they wanted (since I was out of town and couldn't get pictures), but that's been done. I've been trying to get in touch with this person to see when I can expect the replacement pans and she's fallen off of the face of the Earth. It's now 9/30/21 and I would like to know just how much longer I have to cook in my sticky pans. I tried calling today after they stopped communicating with me via email and, like everybody else, they "are experiencing very heavy hold times". I held on; it sounded like the phone was answered and then there was nothing. I have not cooked on high temperatures. I've hand washed these pans and used nothing but wooden or plastic utensils, but the oil seems to have stuck to the sides of the pan and now food sticks to the bottom.

Have purchased this brand of fry pans for years. It was time for a replacement and the newer pans are really poor quality. Nonstick lasted about 3 weeks and nowhere as heavy bases as the previous purchases

重いがしっかりとしている。10年は使えそう

Leider nicht für Induktion geeignet

Llegaron 3 días antes de lo esperado, estoy En México City, super bien empacados y protegidos. Son de excelente calidad pesan, sin llegar a ser estorbosos. Si preparas alimentos sin aceite llegan a adherirse un poco pero con el paso de la cocción comienzan a despegarse solos. Si lo usas con cantidades pequeñas de aceite son una maravilla, nada se les pega. Hay que ser cuidadoso al lavarlos y no someterlos a choques de temperatura para mayor durabilidad del teflón. Excelente producto, altamente recomendado.

I think it's a different non-stick technology compared to the Tfal. But other than that the pans are great, they are still non-stick, just don't expect to fry an egg with zero oil. And that's fine for me, because I know Tfal's have a lot of chemicals. I'd rather have some oil on my eggs than chemicals.
