This Calphalon One 12" Nonstick Pan with a lid was a promotional deal just too good to pass up for $49.95 (usually $130 without a lid) and so I bought 2 and gave one to a friend as a gift. She loves it. Over the past 5 weeks I have used mine at least a dozen times for eggs and cheesy foods and it works just fine just like a quality pan should. Food glides right out of the pan and the 12" high-quality glass lid is a great feature. The pan itself is also a rugged high-quality pan one would expect from Calphalon One. I have 6 other Calphalon One Pans and this one is high-quality just like all the others. Made in the USA with a Lifetime Warranty which they do honor. With the Nonstick it is a good idea to season the pan with Xtra Virgin Olive Oil when you first get the new pan.
I'd encourage anyone looking for a high-quality 12" Nonstick pan to buy this one at $49.95 before the promo price ends. The only difference between this one and the non-promo pan( at $130) is that this one has a $35 lid included and does not have the helper handle...which I seldom use anyway. A great deal you should not miss. Cheers!
2 Year Update 2/23/10: I have used this pan now for over 2 years and the nonstick is still in very good condition as well as the entire pan. I would guess that I have cooked with it about 450 times in the 2 year period. I usually will use it with anything that could be sticky like eggs, cheese, bacon, etc. I do notice that the nonstick surface is not as pristine as it was 2 years ago and I notice a few very light marks although I only use nylon or wood utensils with it. I also season it from time to time with Xtra Virgin Olive Oil. Otherwise, it is 2 years old and cooking great and the nonstick is working just fine, something my cheapie pans never could do after a year or so.

This is a wonderful fry pan. The pan is a bit heavy, but the easy clean up makes up for the weight and the quality of the pan is great. I am very pleased with this product and will go with the Calphalon brand for any other new cookware I will need.Best Deals for Download Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pans
I have used other Calphalon One nonstick pans before and loved them. So when they offered this pan for $50 with a lid, I jumped on it. I'm glad that I did. It is very nonstick and up to par with Calphalon's other pans. But it is a bit shallow than i expected. I find myself still reaching for my 5qt saute pan by calphalon more often. But a great deal, and quick shipping. Well worth what I paid.Honest reviews on Download Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pans
Heavy with a nice sturdy lid. I have had this on high heat a dozen times and it has not warped yet (I am holding my breath). I purchased the Calphalon Commercial 12-inch first and it was just a sad sad product to use on a flat stove top.I have other Calphalon One non stick and the coating is great so far. I really watch it though with non abrasive utensils and not heating or cooling the pan too fast.
OH. I hate the rivets where the handle attaches. Food sticks, I have to scrub them etc. That's why only 4 stars from me. I am thinking about going to a 'cast' pan with the handle cast with it just to avoid these stupid rivets.

I scored this one during a half price Macy's sale! How cool is that? The skillet looks beautiful I didn't even want to cook in it! But after I did, it cleaned up so easily and still looks like it did out of the box! I've made omelets, cheesy fries, chicken, you name itit comes clean with just running water. I haven't had to touch this skillet with a cloth yet to get it clean! Awesome!Some cons I was expecting, with a lifetime warranty, that I would be able to throw this thing around and just send it back if it ever broke, right? Well, Calphalon gives you a long list of things you can't do to this using non-stick cooking spray, metal utensils, put it in a dishwasher, stack them on top of eachother (what stacking two pots on top of each other will void the warranty? Come on!), etc. After I bought my cookware set if feels like I have a newborn in the house.
But this is great quality Calphalon cookware at unbeatable prices at Amazon.com!
