Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Simply Calphalon Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 12-Inch Jumbo Chicken Fryer with Stainless-Steel LidCustomer Review: Work like a Chinese wok on my ceramic cook top Summary: 4 Stars
I have bought a new Whirpool flat ceramic cook top range and have been searching a wok/ or wok alike that would work on this flat cooking surface. Most of the Chinese wok have a round bottom and won't work with this kind of cook top. I have been using the normal pan for stir frying but it is not the same as a wok. Well, THE SEARCH IS FINALLY OVER. I found this Simply Calphalon Nonstick 12 inch fryer the last trip to Bed Bath and Beyond store. It was on sale for $31.99 and I have those $5 off coupon they sent to my house. So the total cost was $26.99 plus tax. Not bad at all for a 10 years waranty. The lady there told me if I EVER unsatisfy with it or if it scratch before 10 yr waranty, I can just bring it back to the store and they will give me refund or a new one. I am so happy.
Here are some of the things I like about the pan
- This pan does NOT require highest heat for cooking. I normally used the highest heat with other pan, but I only need med/med-high when using this pan.
- The edge is high enough to hold everything inside when I toss stuff in it.
- The bottom is exactly the size of the big cooktop and it transfer the heat really well. (unlike the chinese wok that has round bottom and it won't work with the flat top- believe me I am chinese..LOL)
- The nonstick part works really well. I used less and less oil when cooking and sometimes none.
- cleaning is a breeze. I just wait for it to cool down and just rinse it with sponge. I know you can put in dishwasher...but I find it easy to clean.
I gave it 4 star because of the size. It is big...I wish they have a smaller one..10 inch or 8 inch may be. Don't get me wrong..I have small kitchen. If you have space for it..this item is a must have.
