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.
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

Oh, just buy it!:
I carefully read many of the reviews here (many thanks to all contributors) especially the negative ones and I'm glad I purchased this pan! One reviewer noted that the bottom isn't quite flat -- that's not been my experience, and this is important since I have a smooth cooktop. it is a very nice weight, and isn't completely nonstick, which is nice when you want to make a pan sauce. However, very easy to clean with soap and water and a nylon pad for stubborn bits. I genuinely use this pan just about every... more info
It does not work for me.:
I trusted allot of reviewers of this product but it did not work for me. After following all of the instructions this pan is useless, everything sticks to it. It does not meter what I try to make. I gave it one star because I can not give it no stars and it will make a nice planter when I drill couple of holes through it...
Calphalon 12-inch Everyday Pan:
OK for the price(around $30.00). But as a long time owner of the old commercial pans made in Toledo OH, these just don't compare in weight or quality. I've had my old pans for 20+ years and still use them daily. Commercial means that they are Industrial Grade cookware. These are NOT, they are home use grade pans. As a Chef I know the difference, I work with commercial grade cookware daily. These pans are made in China. They are Not shoddy just not what the company used to sell as commercial.
It sticks:
What a disappointment. Calphalon shouldn't advertise non-stick with the hard anondize products. The fact you need to read all these mixed reviews that are so opposite each other, demonstrates that this is not a premier product. Now, I am afraid to by a new non-stick pan from Calphalon even though my past pans were great! Buyer beware!!!!
