Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid
Customer Review: Excellent (for a teflon pan, that is)
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are certain you want to get a pan with teflon non stick surface - this is the one to get. I had it for about a year and surface is still holding pretty good (only a few minor scratches that are result of improper use - using fork instead of a plastic utensil). Pan itself is big and gorgeous, it comes with a beautifull shiny cover that I use on other pots as well.
However, my ideal pan is not one with teflon surface (I got this one only because it was so cheap - under $30):
1. Teflon pan can't go into the dishwasher (although I do put it there when I'm lazy to wash it by hand)
2. You've got to be careful and not use sharp utensils (I generally don't use sharp, but still, every once in a while, I'll grab something from the pan with a fork, or cut food while it's in pan... enough to do some damage). And once it starts chipping - you can toss the pan.
I'm still searching for the ideal pan... Innova makes enameled cast iron pan with non stick surface for which they claim is very durable - they say you can use meatk utensils and was it in dishwasher. However, I have their enameled cast iron pot and the enamel started chipping off soon after I bought it (I didn't save warranty and I can't find their contact anywhere on the web).
I recently got two pots from Zepter as a gift. They look like regular stainless steel pots, but they are truly amazing. Expensive though. Plus, I don't think they sell them here (Europe only).
Description of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid
Company's coming and your spouse just told you? Don't panic, Balsamic Chicken to the rescue, quick, easy, delicious and made from ingredients you probably have on hand. Of course you'll want a reliable sautE pan that won't scorch or stick, with quick even heating and a lid for simmering. Don't give clean up another thought, a simple washing will have it spotless in no time.Calphalon Commercial pans are made for the serious cook who's looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. For example, this straight-sided, 12-inch diameter, 5-quart sauté pan, with its heavy-gauge aluminum bottom and sides, heats evenly and won't warp under higher heat needed for pan-frying. Use a light hand on the heat dial though to protect the nonstick surface from overheating. Also, use plastic, coated, or wood utensils to protect the finish. The curved cast stainless-steel handle is easy to grip and stay cooler than expected, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan. There's also a short looped utility handle on the opposite side of the pan for heavy lifting. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides the flexibility to take the pan to the oven to keep food warm until it's ready to serve. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish, and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale Steinke
