Customer Review: Eh...
Summary: 2 Stars
Was a little disappointed with this pan. Neither the finish nor the performance live up to the Calphalon name. I own probably 10-15 separate calphalon pieces (Commercial Hard Anodized, Commercial Non Stick, Calphalon One, Triply) some made in the US, some in China, all of them leaps and bounds above this pan. I suppose it works well enough and Amazon is not asking too much for it but in all honesty you're probably better off getting a different grill pan or for the same price the 12" Calphalon Hard Anodized Everyday Pan.I will disagree, however, with several users that complain about cleanup. If you read the instruction booklet that come with the pan, you'll not only understand that the pan isn't "non-stick" but also why, for this type of pan, you don't want non-stick. When browning and searing (meat in particular) Non stick has a tendecy (because you're cooking on plastic essentially) to steam the food rather than sear and brown it. Now that's not to say you can't brown in a non-stick (calphalon's commercial N/S is especially good in this regard) but that you will generally get better results and better tasting food if you use anodized aluminum for this type of cooking. Give the pan a quick deglaze after cooking and cleanup will be alot easier And you'll have a fantastic sauce base to work with...
Anyway I probably wouldn't buy this pan again due to its sub standard fit and finish, but for the occasional indoor grilling its not bad for the price...
