Best pan! I'll never go back to "non stick"
The best pan I have ever owned. Made the switch from "non stick" to stainless steel. I've prepared everything from delicate sunny side up eggs to sirloin steaks on this pan with zero issue. It does take a little know how to use stainless steel pans. First, you MUST preheat. Google "Mercury ball test" to see how this is done. On medium heat on an electric coil range I've been able to hit that heat point at under 3mins. Then, depending on what you are cooking, add your oil. Your fattier meats need no oil. Chicken, fish, eggs all need oil. As do veg. Use a good, quality oil. NEVER NON STICK SPRAY! Extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point, and will burn quickly. Veg, canola, grapeseed, peanut, and my favorite, coconut oil works beautifully. Not everything you prepare needs to be at such a high setting. Sauces could be started lower. It all depends on your stove. Wash with warm soapy water. To remove discoloration or stubborn sticky, barkeepers friend! I prefer the liquid form as opposed to the powder. Scotch bright blue to scour. If something is really stuck, place back on stove with water and bring to a simmer. Using a spoon or turner, "scrape" the bottom, then wash as normal. Though they are dishwasher safe, I recommend hand washing to keep its luster.DO NOT STACK THEM ON TOP OF ANOTHER. This will void the warranty as it will scratch the cooking surface of the pan. Scratches are a part of cooking, so small, surface ones occur. However, stacking can cause deep gouges that will inhibit its non stick qualities. Rubbermaid sells a pan organizer for 11$ sold on Amazon.As always, mise en place! Get your ingredients ready ahead of time, because once the oil is in the pan, it starts to break down!Hope you enjoy this pan as much as I have. I've included a pic of the pan after cooking 2-3meals a day in it over the last 2 weeks.

The Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 10-Inch Omelette Fry Pan has quickly become my favorite pan for cooking in the house! Its even heating ensures that food cooks perfectly every time, and the stainless steel construction provides excellent durability.
Cleaning this pan is a breeze, which makes it convenient for daily use. Whether I'm making omelettes or sautéing vegetables, this pan performs beautifully and consistently.
Overall, I highly recommend the Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan for its exceptional heating and easy cleaning. It's a must-have for any kitchen!

I have the 8", 10" and now the 12". They make a fantastic addition to my kitchen. Was using a 12" by 12" grilling platform inside the oven a lot, but cleaning that was becoming a chore. We cook a lot of fish and they get torn up badly on the ribs. So when the cooking gets fast and furious..... and it does when doing fish..... things have to have multiple platforms that can be slung to and fro from oven to cook-top in a flash.
The skillets have their place. Nobody like the job of cleaning. The simple mix of DAWN, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, and BAKING SODA makes short work of any cooked on mess and gets me ready for the next day's battle.
LOVE THOSE PANS.

As other reviews suggested, I let the pan heat up on induction hob on a low setting. Once it was hot I added grape seed oil and then some coarse ground london broil. The meat released easily with a nudge from a bamboo turner. the maiden voyage yielded a deeply browned meat. As other reviews suggested, the pan was left discolored and not clean on the inside satin finish, even after a 20 minute soak in warm fresh dishwater with Dawn brand dish soap and an earnest scrub with a microfiber cloth, the soil and discoloration were not moved. Next I tried a dusting of Bon Ami with the microfiber; i used only enough water so the Bon Ami formed a paste and rubbed with the grain of the satin finish, still no success. finally I dissolved 1 teaspoon Cascade dish washing machine compound in two cups of very hot water and poured it into the pan to soak for 30 minutes; when I returned i could see the stains were barely visible. I dumped the dishwasher compound solution and rinsed while I rubbed the inside with the microfiber cloth. Now the satin finish was spotless and like new. I think the handle may be cast aluminum, so the chlorinated alkali dish washer compound would corrode and mar the finish on that if I were to immerse the whole pan in a solution, but it sure worked well on the inside of the pan.

Heavy enough to evenly distribute the heat, but not too heavy. Quality feel and beautiful finish.

I ordered 2 10" skillets and had to send one back as defect. It rocked terribly on the stove top and did not heat evenly. Amazon took care of the replacement in very short time.
I bought these pans to replace a couple of non stick coated pans that were not really bad but just to be on the safe side and for the health reasons. I have some other Calphalon pans and decided to add to what I already had.
Before I bought I checked with All-Clad as well but the price was double or more and didn't feel like changing everything to match. The quality is comparable so I chose to stay with Calphalon.
I have used stainless cookware for many years now (Wolf Gang Puck) and found out years ago that if you season your pans with coconut oil or lard you can make your stainless pans non stick. I did just that before I cooked anything with my new Calphalon skillets and I fell in love with them. Love the rounded bottoms, and the heat transfer is amazing (Used a Raytek Ranger ST temp gun) and my eggs were fantastic, my shrimp stir fry excellent, Vegetables with/ onions and garlic perfect.
clean up was easy and fast, just hot water rinse and wipe with paper towels. By the way it fries eggs with a crispy edge like they do in my 8" Lodge cast iron that I've had for ages.
I do recommend these pans if you think and cook like a chef, they will last a lifetime with care, not to mention the lifetime warranty by Caphalon. Thanks , Amazon for your service and the great prices that you offer.

This was ordered to down-size a bit and be smaller and not so heavy
as my 12".. it is a beautiful fry pan but huge in that it flares out widely and is very heavy for this senior citizen. I ordered another brand 9" and it is pretty small but can be cooked with easily without being too heavy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Que maravilla de sartén !!
Reviewed in Mexico on May 15, 2020
Por el precio es una ganga!!!!, hay sartenes de triple capa que cuestan mínimo el triple o hasta más de 20mil pesos y este sartén cumple su función a la perfección! Es lo más barato y de buena calidad que encontrarás con triple capa, de verdad no te la pienses en comprarlo.
Solo ten en cuenta que NO ES IGUAL A UN SARTÉN DE TEFLÓN se cocina totalmente diferente al teflon y la limpieza es también muy diferente.
El uso correcto es dejar que se caliente el sartén hasta que al salpicar con poquita agua el sartén las gotas de agua ni hiervan si no que se transformen en esferas, ahí es cuando le pones el aceite y ya cocinas. La carne se va a pegar pero es normal para eso es el sartén para que se pegue y se forme costra en la carne y ya formada la costra la carne solita se despega.
Las costras que quedan en el sartén sirven para hacer una salsa solo pones vino y mantequilla en el sartén y al final tienes una salsa riquísima y sartén casi limpio.
Para la limpieza estando caliente si no querías hacer salsa echa un poco de agua al sartén para despegar lo más difícil y para dejar el sartén como nuevo límpialo con bar keepers friend.
Usándolo correctamente el sartén te durará toda la vida!.

Reviewed in Canada on January 12, 2014
Excellent value, excellent pan. I would purchase the whole set if it was easier to find (ended up going with the competition box set with slight regreat but tri-ply stainless is all pretty much the same). I've had this pan for 3 years, used it on coil, flat top and gas and performs great on all of them. I use a stainless steel cleaner and it still looks awesome. Absolutely no complaints, anybody complaining doesn't know how to care for their cookware.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1, 2, 3.... intentos fallidos. De repente BAAM! Todo funciona a la perfección <3
Reviewed in Mexico on June 12, 2020
The media could not be loaded.
Primer intento, se me pegó la comida así que busque videos e instrucciones de cómo usarla (hay que precalentar muy bien la sarten).
Segundo intento, se me pegó la comida y se me quemó el aceite lo cual manchó mi sartén. Así que volví a buscar más videos y más instrucciones.
Tercer día igual, me metí a la página del fabricante, a ver opiniones de la demás gente, porque que me pega todo? Porque dicen que no se pega?
Bueno aquí está lo que funciono, después de 6 intentos fallidos, cuando al 7mo día al fin no se me pegaron los huevos:
1)Sartén completamente limpia y seca.
2)Se sacan los huevos del refri (cualquier comida) y dejar que se ponga en temperatura ambiente por por lo menos 15 min. Yo saco 10 minutos los huevos, luego los rompo en un plato, donde los dejo por otros 5 minutos a que se pongan menos fríos.
- cuando rompo los huevos, pongo la sartén a calentar en fuego bajo (lo más bajo que tiene mi estufa de gas), durante aproximadamente 3-4 minutos. Tiene que quedar caliente: para ver que esté caliente con una cucharita le hecho unas gotas de agua, y si el agua no se evapora sino que se hacen gotas como de “mercurio”, entonces ya está caliente. Se limpia el agua con un paño.
4)Se agrega el aceite (como 1 cucharada), tiene que ser un aceite de alto humo (ósea que no se queme rápido). Y espero unos 30 segundos a que se caliente mientras balanceo la sartén para que se impregne todo el aceite por las paredes y la base.
5)bato los huevos y los vierto en la sartén. Pero no los toco hasta después de 15-25 segundos para que agarren bien la temperatura de la sartén.
Después de esto ya se pueden revolver como a uno más le guste.
Servir y disfrutar. Y bailar de emoción de que al fin no se pega nada en la sartén... después de muchos intentos.
