Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 10-Inch Everyday Pan with Glass Lid



Everyday, Everything Pan
I purchased this pan because of the tempting sale price. I have found that I reach for it again and again. It is a great size for two people, for preparing most everything. Very convenient. Good heating........easy cleanup.

Great pan, but I wish the handles stayed cool longer
This 10-inch pan is a very nice size for a small family. It's nice not to have to fit yet another long handle into my pan cabinet. The stainless cleans up easily, and is dishwasher safe. The tri-ply technology (aluminum inside, going up the sides) really does seem to help. I've found this pan better than the non-stick coating pans for not sticking, as long as you (1) let food warm to room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes or by warming in water, and (2) pre-heat the pan according to the manufacturor's directions. My only complaint is that the handles get hot very quickly, and they are small enough that pot-holders are awkward. Good for frying and baking a small roast. You'll want a traditional frying pan with long handle to complement this pan.

Better than expected.
In response to the review that stated this pan is too small for one - that is simply not the case. This pan is actually much deeper and larger than I was expecting! It can easily hold 3 or 4 medium sized chicken breasts with vegetables in the same pan. It's crafted very well, and the lid doesn't jiggle at all. I LOVE this piece, I can see myself using it several times a day!
