Should have done this sooner

"Great pans for eggs! My eggs were cooked as I like them without any mess to clean up afterwards. No sticking, just beautifully scrambled. Only complaint is no tops were included. I will need to order tops."

Best Pans Ever

"Wow! These pans help make you a great cook. The two sizes are very common. The pans are very heavy and well made. They conduct heat very well. These pans are so much better than other pans I have had. If you cook alot, you will want a pair of these pans. Throw out those old worn out frying pans you are still using. These pans are worth every penny! These frying pans would make a great practical wedding gift."

Not what I ordered

"While these pans were nice, they were not what I ordered.
These were advertised on line and in the catalog as 'fry pans', but on the actual packaging it says they are "omlette pans" -- and they had a different shape that what I expected for a frying pan, so I returned both and got my money back."

Still cooking after 2 YEARS CONSTANT USE

"I got this as a wedding gift 2 years ago and have used it almost EVERYDAY since then. This pan is still working great 2 years later. Although some of the non-stick coating has come off I still do not need to add butter or oil to cook eggs. I have used this pan to make everything from pancakes to pan-fried chicken tenders to caramel sauce. I LOVE IT and you will to."

Great Product/Bargain

"I have owned a nonstick Calphalon omelet pan for years, and it has been a workhorse in our kitchen (it's my husband's favorite). Thus, when I saw this special offer (two nonstick Calphalons, of the most useful sizes--10" and 12", for such a terrific price), I jumped at the chance to purchase them. The night they arrived, I used one pan to saute cod filets that came out a beautiful golden color, crispy on the outside, and flaky on the inside--I knew my purchase had been a wise one. (Let me add that cleanup was a breeze.)"

My Cooking Buddy!

"This pan is the essential frypan in my kitchen. The non-stick finish is perfect for my not so perfect cooking; it fills in where i left off. Heating evenly to cook a meal well done. Can't do without this fry pan."

Great Item!

"I really like this Frypan. It is nice and heavy, but cooks evenly. The great thing about Calphalon is that it truly is non-stick. They are easy to cook with, and easy to clean!"

Stands the Test of Time

"My husband and I married 18 years ago and registered at Crate&Barrel for our cookware. We received a set of Calphalon and have used it exclusively all these years. Just this Father's Day I bought this pan for my husband and we are so happy with it. It has the same wonderful heft to it that our original set has, with the added bonus of the non-stick surface. My husband especially loves to make eggs in this pan. He is an excellent cook in his own right, but this pan makes him even better!"

Heavy pan, excellent for every day

"I really like how hefty this pan is. The lid has a nice heft as well and it fits well for this pan. The pan cleans up nicely and still looks new, despite over a year of use. No complaints at all."

Best Housewarming Gift

"My roommate's mom bought these pans for him a few years ago. They are so amazing - especially for eggs. I am moving into my own place and bought a set for myself. I also bought a set for my friend as a housewarming gift. Whenever you can get the set of 2 for half price - it is SO worth it. Stock up - they make awesome wedding/housewarming gifts for young people just starting out!"

Love These Pans!

"I have a special devotion to Calphalon; back in Toledo, my brother and I attended school with the children of the man who started it all! So, I was delighted to find such a deal, although they are worth every penny at full price! I purchased the set of two non-stick pans and they are THE best non stick pans I have ever owned. I cook 5-6 nights per week and they still look great!"

10-inch skillet

"I purchased an 8-piece Calphalon set from another store about 4 years back. I recently purchased the 10-inch skillet from C&B to replace the one I'd been using almost daily, due to normal wear and tear. Initially I was worried it would look different from the set but they look exactly the same and it cooks just as well as the one I'd been using. I bought the skillet when C&B was having a 15% off promotion but would've paid full price. Definetely worth every cent."
