Product Description: The 12-in. Everyday Pan is an all-purpose pan. Use it for searing, browning and sauteing vegetables and meats. It also works well for making paella, jambalaya and all-in-one meals that you can bring right to the table to serve. The 2 loop handles make for easier lifting.Backed by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized Cookware is made to professional standards, offering the home chef unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability. Each piece in the Commercial Hard-Anodized line is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum, all-metal construction with the advanced technology of the Cool V stainless handles. The aluminum construction provides superior cooking performance by distributing the heat evenly so there are no hot spots as you cook. And because it's made entirely of metal, each pan can be used in the oven and under the broiler. The hard-anodizing seals the cooking surface, making it stick-resistant and non-reactive to the foods being cooked. The Cool V handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and are balanced with such precision that the pans feel lighter when you pick them up.
Amazon.com Review: This 12-inch everyday pan will end up being the hardest working pan in your kitchen. It is ideal for everything from simmering stovetop succotash and braising brisket to browning Dutch pancakes or cooking fruit tarts. Part of Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized line of cookware, this pan is made of heavy-gauge aluminum that's uniformly thick across the bottom and sides, allowing for quick and even heat distribution. Its durable hard-anodized finish is stick- and scratch-resistant and won’t react with acidic foods. The patented cast stainless-steel handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by three sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The included hard-anodized lid is dome-shaped, making it ideal for moist-heat cooking. The cookware and lid are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you can transfer a frittata to the oven for browning without having to switch pans. All cookware in this line is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

The lady I work has one of these and I like it so much I ordered one for myself. My sister, who cooks for her five adult children loved it so much I gave it to her (I'm a softy). Anyway, I have ordered myself a second one and look forward to using it. HHUUUMMMMMMMMM, maybe my son and daughter-in-law should have one?!

The pan is very versatile, however, when coking, food tends to stick to the pan more than I had anticipated. The cleanup process usually needs to soak the pan and use a non-abrasive pad.

I basically only eat veggies and rice. I love stir fry with a passion and I always find myself making that, fried rice, and plenty of other things. But my pan wasn't made for that kind of stuff, so it drops out everywhere and burns everything. It was frustrating and I hated it so I decided to get this pretty cool looking pan. I didn't even know that it was going to work, but what the heck, it looked like it would. It doesn't spill or burn, my stir fry comes out perfectly. I've used this day in and day out and I love it. It's a good thing to have and made with good quality.
Rating: - Love this pan!
This is the first Calphalon pan I've purchased. I'm a big fan of All-Clad but the price on this one was too good to pass up. I'm so glad I bought it. I highly recommend it. It's become one of the most used pans in the kitchen.
Rating: - A Good Pan
I really love this pan. I have tried it out with different types of food and have not had any difficulties with food sticking like some of the other reviewers have. Perhaps the cooking method makes a difference. I have a Viking Professional Propane Stove so maybe that has something to do with the fact that the food doesn't stick.
In fact I love this pan so much that I just ordered a second one.
