Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan Reviews

Superb low-sided non-stick 10" pan. This is the one. Stop looking and buy it. - Review written on September 16, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

My wonderful non-stick Wegman's pan finally just wasn't doing the job anymore - unfortunately they no longer make the same one - it was very high quality non-stick, solid heavy and could be moved from stove top to oven if desired. Clearly having one very very good skillet is an essential, and much more useful than an assortment of lesser tools.

After a fair amount of research I decided to try out this Calphalon model. It was very similar to one that I bought for my father a few years ago, except in a larger 10" format. And, this pan does not disappoint - not one bit.

Amazing non-stick surface. It also has super nice heavy construction that holds a very consistent temperature. Some people have taken away a star or half due to the pan's weight - the weight is a benefit, truly. I don't have to hold the handle while stirring or flipping the food. Not many pans can boast that, leaving my other hand free to hold my plate or bowls with ingredients.

Even with eggs over easy, I can get away without using any oil/butter at all if I'm a bit careful. But I'd probably recommend using just the very slightest amount. And I definitely don't bother using any with scrambled eggs, etc. It also does a great job on pancakes and grilled chicken breasts.

This pan is an excellent value, and I expect it to last at least 5 years of regular use. Even if I replace it every 3-4 years, I really don't care - it's a great pan.

I love this pan. It takes a while to heat up, but when it gets hot, it'll keep the heat fairly distributed. I use this pan primarily for pancakes and crepes and it works great. I never need to add butter/oil/nonstick to the pan.

Make sure you use a silicone utensil and keep the nonstick surface safe. Don't use the rough side of the sponge when washing and it should last for a long time

this pan is too shallow to use for anything but eggs. It is too steep sided to really make and toss a crepe. It is of nice quality and the nonstick surface appears nice however this pan lacks multi functional use. I have no clue where all these glowing reviews come from.

Before I purchased this pan, I tried to cook crepes in a regular skillet. They were delicious but I was embarassed to serve them because they looked terrible. I couldn't get them to turn over without tearing. So, while skeptical (because I thought the problem was just me not knowing how), I purchased this crepe pan. Wow...it made a huge difference! Between this pan and my new Chef'n ZipFlip Small Turner, I have been able to make delicious and beautiful crepes every time.

My wife has always said all non-stick pans are the same until I bought this for her. It's solid, the handle has not gotten hot yet, and it continues to be non-stick. I do wish that we could put it in the dishwasher.

Everything other favorable reviews say is true! These are wonderful pans: the best we've ever had--easy to cook on and to clean. All six frying pans and baking tins we ordered from Amazon are flawless.

It seems a little small to me. We have another Calphalon nonstick pan from a bigger set and that pan is bigger and has higher sides. The sides on this pan seem to be very shallow, like the picture shows. Otherwise, it's great, just have to watch out of you're putting any liquid in it that it doesn't slosh over the sides.

Everything being said about this pan is correct. Great for cooking two eggs, two pancakes, at a time. I'm going to order a larger one for the bigger jobs.

This is the second pan, exactly, of this sort I own and it is the most used pan in my kitchen. The second, as the first had some 'peeling' of the coating and Calphalon replaced it - free. I purchased the new pan during the time the replacement was in transit - I know it will be handy to have two "favorite" pans when I need them.
I heartly recommend this pan - it's very flat bottom and minimum sides make it so very usable -- and Calphalon's guarranty is for real -- no questions replacement (assuming no abuse).

I call this pan my "magic pan". It cooks eggs without a bit of butter, or grease of any kind. I use this pan everyday and could not imagine getting along without it. J.

This is the first time I have used Calphalon. I have always seen these pans in the stores but they were prohibitably expensive, I believe because they are a professional grade. This one was a special price purchase and I am so glad that I found it. You just wipe a little oil on the pan and heat it before you put meat or veggies in and it cooks them just perfectly. No need for high heat. I plan to buy many more.

I loved the skillet when i first got it and thought the non-stick would last forever. I'm finding pitting in the non-stick surface now even though I've been very careful not to use any non-stick sprays and have been careful to clean it properly. The size is great for eggs in the morning. I just wish the surface would have held up better.

Others have already said tons of good things about this... so I won't go on. This thing is great... the nonstick lasts, the pan is solid, looks good, and lasts long (for a nonstick).

I LIKE THIS PAN BECAUSE I ALWAYS GRILL MY SANDWICH AND IT IS EASIER TO TURN THE SANDWICH BECAUSE OF THE LOW SIDES. THE PAN IS USED FOR OTHER THINGS BUT THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON WE BOUGHT IT.

Excellent pan. Use with low heat and the pan heats evenly. And a wipe with a sponge and it's ready for the next use. Highly recommend this item.

A versatile pan that stows easily, heats evenly, and cleans up quickly. Since we don't make crepes, I wish the sides were a bit taller.

Watch for the $19.99 price during Amazon's Friday Only sale. Great non-stick pan for that price. Beware that it is made in China, not the usual Calphalon production. And note the size - rather small so if you are looking for a family size pan, skip this one.

I've owned this pan before. The non stick coating wears off after a few years and then I needed to replace it and it's great that the same pan was available to buy. This pan is used quite often in my kitchen, it's a perfect size for cooking breakfast and other things. I can only hope when the coating wears off in a few years I can purchase another one!

I purchased two of these and used them as every day pans in our kitchen. They were used if not daily close to daily and sometimes multiple times in a day. We hand washed them so, they never saw the inside of a dishwasher.
The nonstick coating has just begun to wear off after three years of use.

This pan has been great for what I wanted it to do. I use it for pancakes, french toast, eggs, omelets, and sauteing veggies. It is heavy and heats very evenly. Nothing sticks and clean up is a snap. It is not a deep skillet yet it holds 2 pieces of toast well. I would definitely buy this over again!
