Kitchen gadget lover
By Nathan H Heinrichs
I recently bought this pan to start replacing my T-Fal that is starting to chip after only 5 years. I LOVE this pan. It works great for our family of 4. The clear glass lids are wonderful and nothing sticks to them. Clean up is a breeze and gets me out of the kitchen fast.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the handle on top of the lid gets very, very hot. Not a great idea, as a plastic one would work, but probably would melt if put in the oven.
It was worth the money and am back to purchase another one at this great price!

Love this pan
By atmj
I've had this pan for several weeks now and I'm overjoyed with it.JUST THE RIGHT SIZEI make about 3 cups of rice regularly for meals. Generally the 2 & 3 quart pans I have are either too small or too large for the job. This one is perfect. Being shallow it is squattier on the burner too, so it covers it more efficiently as well.
HEATS UP AMAZINGLY FASTThough I have a decent set of pans to compare it with, I never realized how much a difference a good pan could make. It heats up in half the time the other pan does. This pan must be made for ceramic top stoves. My other pans are flat bottom and aluminum base, but a bit thinner. The speed difference was very noticable.Also another thing it does is maintain its heat well and very consistently.
HOT HANDLE ON COVER CAN BE A RUDE SURPRISEThe only negative, was since the cover is glass with a metal handle, you are in for a shock if you are used to a plastic handle on the cover. This one gets hot, really hot. I chuckled when I read the other reviewer's complaint. It is not so much that it is glass (which I think is a real plus, no need to lift to check), but the hot handle and the glass make a deadly combination when you accidentally lift it without a pot holder and then are inclined drop it. I think Calpholon would do well to replace it with a plastic one.
HAND WASH ONLYThe other concern I had was needing to hand wash it. Given that it is non-stick, this is real easy work and is not an issue. Most of the time I hand washed my other pans anyway.
GREAT WAY TO GET YOU HOOKED ON CALPHALONI think this was a great buy and I plan to invest more in some other great Calpholon pans.

This is a great pan. I have the larger one and I use it on a daily basis. It is by far the greatest cookware I have purchased! It cooks evenly, and is very easy to clean. A must!
