Calphalon D1382PB Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid
Truly an "everyday" pan, (What's this?) I've had this pan for six years now and it wasn't until I really got into cooking a couple years ago, that I realized just how versatile it is. I own All-Clad pans for pan-searing and making sauces, three cast-iron pans for browning and searing, and numerous other pans, but the Calphalon Everyday pan is the one that I reach for the most, because it can handle such a variety of uses and does it so well. The main advantage to it are the flared sides, which allow me to easily handle large sauces that would normally create a mess in a traditional 12-inch frying pan. I frequently use it in place of a wok for stir frying, and it handles browning exceptionally well. Even though it's a 12-inch pan, the flared sides make it act more like a 14 or 15 inch pan due to the extra room, while still taking up only minimal space on the burner.
The pan is made of hard-anodized aluminum, which is a method for making cookware stronger and thicker. Even after hundreds of uses, this pan still looks almost as new as the day I bought it. It is not a no-stick pan, but it does have some lucubration properties and foods do not stick as badly as with other non-stick pans. It cleans up very easily (anodized aluminum is easier to clean than bare aluminum). For tougher stains, I just rub it down with some Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish: 12 OZ and everything comes right off. Even after constant use I can spent 10 minutes on it with some Bar Keeper's Friend and get every single stain and smudge off it so it appears brand new.
The conductivity of the pan is excellent. It heats up very quickly, retains heat fairly well, and goes right into the oven. The lid of the pan has a secure fit to prevent heat loss. The pan is not too heavy, but is very sturdy and well made. I don't have any dents or scratches on it despite banging it around in my cabinets for years.
Deceptive Name, (What's this?) We purchased this "Everyday Pan" to replace our aging skillets. The product discription says it is a stick-resistant pan that won't react with foods. We have tried to use it 3 times, following all manufacturer's recommendations/instructions and EVERYTHING sticks. We called Calphalon, and were told by the Customer Service Rep that "Everyday Pan" is just the "style" and that this pan is intended for BROWNING AND SEARING only. Excuse me, Calphalon, but I can brown and sear in any pan I currently own. Why would I purchase a pan with only one purpose? We were also told that you can not cook any foods that contain starch. This pathetic pan is going back. I'll stick with my well-seasoned and trusted cast iron. It may be heavy, but I know it works for more than one purpose.
My favorite pan, This is my most used pan for the last 15 years. I love it and do everything in it. Buying this pan could not be a mistake. It has a large fat bottom with nice highish sides. I can also put it in the oven. Often I will sear one side of a steak on top of the stove and then broil the other side in the oven. Easily able to make dishes with sauces.
Calphalon and their non existant warranty, (What's this?) I bought both the 10 inch and the 12 inch calphalon everyday pans because I wanted the short handles. Both were made in China.
not as promised, (What's this?) Had used Calphalon cookweare before and loved it. However, this product does not live up to my expectations. Even after following instructions food sticks very well. Not at all liking this product.
Years of use, great utensil, (What's this?) After using this for the last 2 years or so, it is a solid utensil.
this is a great pan, I'm switching over from nonstick pans to anodized everything. It's so convenient to be able to use metal and be able to place in the oven! It's a must, heats up well and evenly. I've cooked many things in this pan, brought it straight to the oven with no problems whatsoever.
totally unusable after a little while, we've had ours for a few years and it has gotten progressively worse as the finish quickly wore off and disappeared, even on the lid which we don't use a lot. Washing it with a soft sponge turns it completely black, and magically, after getting rid of all the blackness, it's back the next day. I shudder to think what amount of metal or other material has gotten into our food-- thoughts that convinced me to finally carry it to the trash can today. That 30 feet of holding it turned my hands black, but I can at least be happy that it won't again. Replacing it with All Clad-- have some of those which get heavy use and haven't let me down.
Most versatile tool in my kitchen, Aptly named erveryday pan which I use literally everyday! From frying eggs for breakfast, burgers for lunch or a steak or stirfry for dinner this is a great pan. Not really nonstick but with care I can fry eggs with no sticking. Perfect size for a light stew or stirfry, or even oven use.
