Calphalon Triply Stainless Steel 8-Inch Omelette Fry Pan

Safer cooking option than Teflon coating or the like.

Just what I wanted to replace toxic Teflon coated omlet pan.

It is good pan but difficult keep on shiny . Overall good product

This pan changed my life - starting with breakfast. I love the size and the stainless steel surface.I find I reach for it more often than all my other pans combined, and often use it several times daily.I had a similar "non-stick" pan that lost its non-stick properties after just a few uses. I've got other Calphalon cookware, so thought I'd give this a try.It's easy to clean with a bit of baking soda and dish soap.For those who think food sticks in stainless steel - try cooking at a slightly lower temp. If your oil is smoking, the temp is too high. I deglaze the pan when I remove my food and find it always cleans up easily. And, no worries about non-stick surface sloughing off into your food.If they made this in 9" I would buy that also for larger portions.

The best pan I have ever owned. Made the switch from "non stick" to stainless steel. I've prepared everything from delicate sunny side up eggs to sirloin steaks on this pan with zero issue. It does take a little know how to use stainless steel pans. First, you MUST preheat. Google "Mercury ball test" to see how this is done. On medium heat on an electric coil range I've been able to hit that heat point at under 3mins. Then, depending on what you are cooking, add your oil. Your fattier meats need no oil. Chicken, fish, eggs all need oil. As do veg. Use a good, quality oil. NEVER NON STICK SPRAY! Extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point, and will burn quickly. Veg, canola, grapeseed, peanut, and my favorite, coconut oil works beautifully. Not everything you prepare needs to be at such a high setting. Sauces could be started lower. It all depends on your stove. Wash with warm soapy water. To remove discoloration or stubborn sticky, barkeepers friend! I prefer the liquid form as opposed to the powder. Scotch bright blue to scour. If something is really stuck, place back on stove with water and bring to a simmer. Using a spoon or turner, "scrape" the bottom, then wash as normal. Though they are dishwasher safe, I recommend hand washing to keep its luster.DO NOT STACK THEM ON TOP OF ANOTHER. This will void the warranty as it will scratch the cooking surface of the pan. Scratches are a part of cooking, so small, surface ones occur. However, stacking can cause deep gouges that will inhibit its non stick qualities. Rubbermaid sells a pan organizer for 11$ sold on Amazon.As always, mise en place! Get your ingredients ready ahead of time, because once the oil is in the pan, it starts to break down!Hope you enjoy this pan as much as I have. I've included a pic of the pan after cooking 2-3meals a day in it over the last 2 weeks.

I am switching to stainless steel for healthier cooking to avoid teflon type materials being leached into food especially when using metal utensils. This pan arrived with California warnings from the factory. Says contains PTFE, which is basically teflon (PFAS). The tag also claims “Durable hard-anodized construction Multi-layer, PFOA-free nonstick for lasting release.” This is questionable marketing to me, why not just use a teflon pan at that point. This was their stainless steel premier line. Their website shows no such materials in that product line as these maybe discontinued hopefully. I returned the product and went with their classic line in stainless steel, no such warnings and feels to be no clear coat on the cooking surface of the pan.

I have the 8", 10" and now the 12". They make a fantastic addition to my kitchen. Was using a 12" by 12" grilling platform inside the oven a lot, but cleaning that was becoming a chore. We cook a lot of fish and they get torn up badly on the ribs. So when the cooking gets fast and furious..... and it does when doing fish..... things have to have multiple platforms that can be slung to and fro from oven to cook-top in a flash.The skillets have their place. Nobody like the job of cleaning. The simple mix of DAWN, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, and BAKING SODA makes short work of any cooked on mess and gets me ready for the next day's battle.LOVE THOSE PANS.

First pan came damaged with scratches and dents all over. A replacement was sent and it was also damaged, just not as much. The shipping box wasn’t damaged so I don’t know where all the damage is from. I like the pan itself, would’ve kept it if it wasn’t damaged
