Simply Calphalon Nonstick 12-Inch Omelette Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This all started when I bought America's Test Kitchen's book of skillet recipes. Reading through it, I realized I didn't have the proper tools for many of the recipes (including fabulous skillet pasta dishes where you cook the raw pasta right in the skillet with the rest of the ingredients). The recipes and the skillet buying tips told me that I needed two 12" skillets. One of them had to be a non-stick skillet that:
a. Was not over-the-top expensive, since all nonstick skillets do need replacing every so often.
b. Was durable and sturdy enough to last for several years with good care.
c. Distributed heat evenly.
d. Was oven-safe to -- get this -- 450 degrees.
e. Was a true skillet with respect to the height and slope of the sides.
f. Had a cover.
It took me days to do the research to find a pan with all these qualities. This one was it -- minus the cover. A bit of shopping around unearthed a 12" Calphalon lid designed for pretty much every Calphalon model EXCEPT this one. I bought one at Macy's and brought it home to try it on for size. It's not perfect, but for my use it's just fine.
You've got to try those ATK pasta dishes -- and pretty much all the other recipes in their skillet book. They're wonderful.
(PS: For the other skillet, go with the All-Clad stainless with cover -- I've seen some incredible sales on it at [...])
