Product Description

The 12-in. Everyday Pan is an all-purpose pan. Use it for searing, browning and sauteing vegetables and meats. It also works well for making paella, jambalaya and all-in-one meals that you can bring right to the table to serve. The 2 loop handles make for easier lifting.Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability. Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum, all-metal construction with the advanced technology of the Cool V stainless handles. The aluminum construction provides superior cooking performance by distributing the heat evenly so there are no hot spots as you cook. And because it's made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. The hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to the foods being cooked. The Cool V handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and are balanced with such precision that the pans feel lighter when you pick them up.

Amazon.com Review
This 12-inch everyday pan will end up being the hardest working pan in your kitchen. It is ideal for everything from simmering stovetop succotash and braising brisket to browning Dutch pancakes or cooking fruit tarts. Part of Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized line of cookware, this pan is made of heavy-gauge aluminum that's uniformly thick across the bottom and sides, allowing for quick and even heat distribution. Its durable hard-anodized finish is stick- and scratch-resistant and won't react with acidic foods. The patented cast stainless-steel handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by three sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The included hard-anodized lid is dome-shaped, making it ideal for moist-heat cooking. The cookware and lid are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you can transfer a frittata to the oven for browning without having to switch pans. All cookware in this line is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Versatile, And Looks Great!
While this pan is a true Calphalon original, it is not made in Toledo. It is, unfortunately, made in China like the Simply Calphalon line. I guess that is why it is so "cheap". But, that being said, this is still the Calphalon brand, and you know it when you cook with it! While I've only cooked with it once making a nacho bake, it was very nice to take this from the stove top to the oven, and then to the table. I browned hamburger, and threw in about 16oz of shredded cheese, stirred it, and threw it in the broiler at 425 for about 15 minutes. I didn't want to ruin the aesthetic appeal of the dish, so I just put this on a swivel and let guests scoop it out of the pan. It looked surprisingly good as a serving dish!
Some cons - I was expecting, with a lifetime warranty, that I would be able to throw this thing around and just send it back if it ever broke, right? Well, Calphalon gives you a long list of things you can't do to this - using non-stick cooking spray, metal utensils, put it in a dishwasher, stack them on top of eachother (what - stacking two pots on top of each other will void the warranty? Come on!), etc. After I bought my cookware set if feels like I have a newborn in the house.
But this is great quality Calphalon cookware at unbeatable prices at Amazon.com!

Everyday pan
This is a great addition to my collection.
As the name says, it is great for everyday use.

Not Really Great
The product is not what I expected for being called a Commercial Hard-Anodized product. It's very light and thin comparing to the other Calphalon products I own because it is made in China. I should have known from the price it were to be sold.
