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

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.

Received these about 2 weeks ago and we could not be happier. They are well built and extremely easy to clean. The handles are braded on not screwed. The handles get warm to hot the closer you get to the pan itself but if you put a comfortable grip on the handle it is not hot just warm not hot at all. Nothing sticks to the pan and after letting them cool a bit just run warm water into the pan and everything washes right off. Take care of them and they should last a long time.

Perfect skillets and truly non stick...if you are used to cooking stuff at a high heat on the burner, DON'T do it. No need to cook on high...maybe that is why some people complained that food stuck. Some of the photos that I saw in the 1* reviews had food stuck & looked as if the food was cooked way too high. I cook fried eggs, scrambled eggs, potatoes and rib eye steak and never once have I experienced sticking. I do know the instructions say NOT to use aresol sprays like Pam...they say only to use the pump type or mist type non stick products, so I do.The skillets are easy to hand wash (with soap & water) as well. I do not put my skillets in the dishwasher.

Great product-very durable. Great heat distribution and durable non stick coating but shipped by the USPS who couldn’t walk a couple of extra steps to put my package out of the rain and lied about the delivery time.

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.

I quit buying cheap non-stick cookware after my first Calphalon pan. This one is as good as the others I have. It heats fast and evenly, browns food nicely, and is easy to clean.I hesitate to call any non-stick pan "scratch resistant", but these are as good as any and better than most. With a little care they last many times longer cheaper non-sticks.

Be careful not to turn your burner above medium heat. Setting it on high wiil destroy the no stick surface. Likewise don't clean with any abrasive for the same reason.

I needed some non-stick pans. I have been using all-clad D5 stainless steel for the past 6-7 months of cooking. While they're good, some times you just need a non-stick pan to keep your sanity. (Especially since the D5 series heats and retains that heat... lots of scorched foods as I navigate the learning curve)I did some research on amazon before buying these two pans. I considered getting a whole flight of pots and pans but thought do I really need all that cluttering my cabinets? NO. 2 pans is all you need when you've already got pots for boiling or simmering.These two pans get the job done and are a cinch to clean! I used the small pan to sear some burgers, then finished in the oven. Despite them being greasy, the pans wiped clean with a paper towel. Ohhhh what a relief that is!The only cautionary tale I have is that the small pan's handle is quite small for my hulk hands. When heating, take caution as the handle can get quite hot toward the base of the pan. Nothing a potholder or oven mitt can't solve though.
