 - Great pan if you are a good cook, but remember, it's not non-stick!I bought this for little over $20 and wanted to give this pan a try for all it's great reviews... I liked the pan at first look. It's quite heavy for an aluminum pan (I've seen thicker ones, but this is among the top three thickest I've seen). Size is about quite right for me, though I wished it was a little deeper, but I can live with it. Now for the negative part, I've owned this for about a month now and tried it out a few times, but it always turned out to be a disaster for me. I am used to non-stick pans and this one is definitely not one (I knew this while buying it, but didn't expect it to be so bad). I know it all depends on what and how you cook, but for me, I am still trying to justify my purchase :( pal :) Rating:  - Very nice panI have had good luck with the Calphalon products, Amazon has occasional mark downs on Calphalon pans and thats when I buy them. Amazon is a great company to order from they always keep you informed about every step of the order. Rating: - Oh, just buy it!I carefully read many of the reviews here (many thanks to all contributors) especially the negative ones and I'm glad I purchased this pan! One reviewer noted that the bottom isn't quite flat -- that's not been my experience, and this is important since I have a smooth cooktop. it is a very nice weight, and isn't completely nonstick, which is nice when you want to make a pan sauce. However, very easy to clean with soap and water and a nylon pad for stubborn bits. I genuinely use this pan just about every day! Wish I had bought two. Rating:  - It does not work for me. I trusted allot of reviewers of this product but it did not work for me. After following all of the instructions this pan is useless, everything sticks to it. It does not meter what I try to make. I gave it one star because I can not give it no stars and it will make a nice planter when I drill couple of holes through it... Rating: - Calphalon 12-inch Everyday PanOK for the price(around $30.00). But as a long time owner of the old commercial pans made in Toledo OH, these just don't compare in weight or quality. I've had my old pans for 20+ years and still use them daily. Commercial means that they are Industrial Grade cookware. These are NOT, they are home use grade pans. As a Chef I know the difference, I work with commercial grade cookware daily. These pans are made in China. They are Not shoddy just not what the company used to sell as commercial.
