I bought one the other day. It seemed like a good deal to me. I'm using as a Christmas gift.

I bought this pan last year for $20 - I love it. And I never have seen it go any lowere price.

Thought about this one but these two issues made me decide it might not get used much.

 

Now, for the issues: As with all true Calphalon products, you can not put hard-anodized aluminum into the dishwasher. It will damage the surface, leading to pits and discolorations, and void the lifetime warranty to boot!

 

Second, this is not a nonstick pan. If you want nonstick, buy Calphalon Commercial Nonstick, the best ever made (The Commercial nonstick line has the more advanced LRS3 coating versus the much less effective LRS coating on the cheaper Professional Nonstick II line).

 

To clean, simply buy a Dobie pad or its equivalent. For the tough stuff, I find a little Bon Ami or Dormond cleaner does the trick without too much effort.

 

Enjoy!

I hate non-stick and dont have dishwasher so I got one for my dad and then one for myself. I'm moving away from non-stick and was going to stainless but figd I'd try this...thanks

thank you tn-dave, great info

its naturally stick-resistant -- if you know what you're doing you really wont have a problem with food sticking - plus you dont have the health concerns of a non-stick lining.

I have an calphalon stovetop pot that is like this and I love it. I am ordering this one for my birthday. Lame I know!
