Kitchen Aid Cookware: Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pan Review

I usually don't use Nonstick very much and prefer the Calphalon One Infused Anodized pans.But, sometimes there are eggs and cheese and sticky stuff to deal with.I have usually bought a set of less expensive Nonstick in sets, an 8", 10" and 12" and they are usually good for 1 or 2 years and then I toss them and buy another inexpensive set. Pricier Nonstick has problems after a few years too, but with Calphalon One's Lifetime Warranty and a low price tag I thought I'd give it a shot.

This Calphalon One 12" Nonstick Pan with a lid was a promotional deal just too good to pass up for $49.95 (usually $130 without a lid) and so I bought 2 and gave one to a friend as a gift. She loves it. Over the past 5 weeks I have used mine at least a dozen times for eggs and cheesy foods and it works just fine just like a quality pan should.Food glides right out of the pan and the 12" high-quality glass lid is a great feature.The pan itself is also a rugged high-quality pan one would expect from Calphalon One. I have 6 other Calphalon One Pans and this one is high-quality just like all the others. Made in the USA with a Lifetime Warranty which they do honor.With the Nonstick it is a good idea to season the pan with Xtra Virgin Olive Oil when you first get the new pan.

I'd encourage anyone looking for a high-quality 12" Nonstick pan to buy this one at $49.95 before the promo price ends.The only difference between this one and the non-promo pan( at $130) is that this one has a $35 lid included and does not have the helper handle...which I seldom use anyway.A great deal you should not miss.Cheers!

2 Year Update 2/23/10:I have used this pan now for over 2 years and the nonstick is still in very good condition as well as the entire pan.I would guess that I have cooked with it about 450 times in the 2 year period.I usually will use it with anything that could be sticky like eggs, cheese, bacon, etc.I do notice that the nonstick surface is not as pristine as it was 2 years ago and I notice a few very light marks although I only use nylon or wood utensils with it.I also season it from time to time with Xtra Virgin Olive Oil.Otherwise, it is 2 years old and cooking great and the nonstick is working just fine, something my cheapie pans never could do after a year or so.
