Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 9-Inch Chef's Skillet with Lid

Customer Review: My most-used pan.
Summary: 5 Stars

Main drawback? The pan's smallish size. But we can hardly blame the pan, can we? I have still crammed a lot of food into this tiny thing...great for wilting a bag of spinach, great size for making sauces and personal stir-frys.

The nonstick surface is excellent. A few roommates have abused it in my absence and it still works great. I use it for pancakes, etc., since I lack any other skillet or omelette pan. The steep sides make flipping with a spatula a little work. However, the shape of the pan makes hand-flipping quite simple.

I have not had trouble with the pan's balance when empty, however I have dealt with much worse at work and so maybe calphalon's relative excellence had spoiled me. Nor have I had particular trouble with the handle getting hot, but again I'm used to everything being hot.

The lid is great, both because it is domed and it forms a good seal when liquid is present. It also allows the pan to be used for many other purposes to which it would not otherwise be suited (e.g. simmering messy sauces, wilting leafy vegetables)

Final thoughts: this attractive little pan is shaped thoughtfully, comes with a lid, comes clean very easily thanks to excellent non-stick, and can be used for just about anything (I have steamed, boiled, fried, roasted, sauteed...). Don't expect it to feed a family. It's ideal for one or two people, and for larger groups it will be a favorite for side-dishes, tapas, etc. Goes right in the oven.

This skillet is an excellent tool that if given a chance will be useful every day. As long as you don't expect something from it that its size simply cannot deliver, it has earned all five stars.

I just bought three more Calphalon pans (commercial hard-anodized) and expect as much from them.
