Customer Review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PAN!!!
I was using a stainless steel "chicken fryer" but it was sooooo heavy. This Calphalon pan is wonderful! It's light yet sturdy. The heat was evenly distributed and I had no "cold" spots. I don't even mind the unusual handle. I could grip it comfortably. I thought my previous pan was big but it actually fit inside the Calphalon pan. It was money well spent. I am very pleased with the pan. I bought a new set of hard anodized cookware less than a year ago and I'm very sorry it wasn't Calphalon.
Customer Review: Not what is Pictured, but...........
This pan looks more like the Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid but has a different handle. Yes it has a stainless metal lid and yes the pan is big, REALLY BIG! It has a full 12" of cooking area, flat bottom and sides. It also has a strange handle unlike other Calphalon wide oval handles, this is a flat long bar bent into a tight "U" shape. Not a comfortable handle but you will not be flipping or moving this pan around when cooking with it. The pan comes in a white box with no other marking than UPC code which i wonder, but the words Simply Calphalon is stamped in the lid. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it will have the same Calphalon quality.
