Calphalon One Nonstick 11-Inch Chef's Skillet with Glass Lid Review

This is my second Calphalon nonstick skillet.I have an older omelet skillet w/o the lid, but I rarely use it because it is not deep enough for items such as fish and stir-fry stuff.I don't want a stir-fry wok.I purchased this chef's skillet mainly because of its size, weight, nonstick surface, and lid.My fish turns out great using this skillet! The skillet is just right for me since I don't need to cook in large quantity.

Of course, the skillet is very easy to clean. This should be my last skillet - I've got another set of skillets from Calphalon stainless steel. I think the price for chef's skillet is a bit too high (compare this to the nonstick 13" deep skillet), but I am glad I made the purchase.Got from Macy's on sale and free shipping!

Anolon Advanced Ultimate 12-Inch Covered Stir-Fry Pan Review

This is a great piece of equipment for many cooking tasks; don't let the "stir-fry" moniker limit your uses of it.In fact, because of its large flat bottom, it doesn't quite work as well for stir-frying as a traditionally shaped wok, and the nonstick coating, while durable, means you have to be a little bit too careful when moving food around -- a true stir-fry should be stirred with abandon.But this large pan is good for all kinds of sauteeing, and because of the high sides its capacity is tremendous.Combined with the tight-fitting glass lid, one of the best uses of this pan is to make risotto for a huge crowd; it's also really nice for tossing almost-cooked pasta into a hot sauce.

A few minor notes: be aware that the pan is really very large, and quite heavy, and because of this it takes a long while to heat up.It can be hard to lift when full of food.You probably wouldn't want to use this for a side dish, to whip up a little sauce on the side, or to cook for one or two people.It can block nearby burners on a small stove.The silicon-covered handles are oven-safe to a degree, but they're not magic; coming out of a hot oven they will be painfully hot to the touch.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Cover Review

I bought this pan in a department store on a whim; I had a gift card that was about to expire. I have some All-Clad and was hoping to find another All-Clad pan to add to my collection; I was not too surprised when I could not. I "settled" for this pan. It's not much of a "settle" because this pan is great.

I am an avid cook - it's how I relax - and I use this pan all the time right along side my All-Clad. I will be purchasing more Cuisinart pans in the future. For the price and the quality, you can't beat them. They are great on a ceramic top stove.

I did notice that food stuck the first time and that discoloration did appear the first few times. This is normal for stainless steel pans. Just heat up and deglaze to remove the food. For the discoloration... just keep going, all my stainless steel pans, that have been discolored, have gone back (to a stainless appearance) after I use them a couple more times. Just keep in mind that because this is a quality pan, the heat will not need to be nearly as high as with other pans. Heat being too high can cause permanent discoloration and can ruin a pan.

Over all - great pan - great buy.
