Love these pans…
By midwestfarmgirl
I purchased a two pack of the 8 and 10″ skillets from Macy’s this past summer. All my pans work great. I find they are a bit like cast iron. Once they heat up (on medium), they retain their heat and cook evenly. I use medium heat, and may oftentimes get by with med-low. No warping or flaking yet. (The key is to not use any more heat than necessary – exuberant high heat may demolish most skillets) I also got a griddle which is the Calphalon One Infused Anodized – their top line. I love it as well, and would buy either again. I went for the most part with the Contemporary line due to lower price. Be sure to read the packaging to see what line you are getting, as they have various lines out there. There is the ‘infused anodized’ and the ‘hard anodized’, nonstick and without the nonstick, etc.
Check out their internetlocation for more information.

Great pans!
By BeagleGrin
These pans have magnificent heavy bottoms. I don’t have too numerous gripes, except it would have been nice if the handles were welded to the outside rather of being bolted in. Stuff will stick to the bolts.
I just cook neater and keep out of the way of the bolts, and I’m fine.
We use these pans for in a literal sense EVERYTHING that may be cooked on a stovetop!
SHIPPING was SUPER FAST!!!

Excellent product UNTIL we had guests who “helped us” clean up and put them in our super heavy obligation dishwasher… After that, the finish was never the same. I have ALWAYS hand washed my non stick pans. I’m frighted the trip through the dishwasher killed them. Now, our dishwasher is brutal, much more harsh than the intermediate dishwasher, i have to admit.
We still use them, I’m a fan of the heavy bottoms and even distribution of heat. But now, I have to use cooking spray to keep feed atoms from sticking

Favorite pans
By Harp lady
These are the pans that get used in my house closely each day. They are heavy which distributes the heat evenly, but make the huge one difficult to carry when it’s full. The nonstick surfaces are better than most, but don’t last forever. After with regards to 4 years of popular use, they started sticking a bit.
