Calphalon One Infused Anodized 10-Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These pans put together the best qualities of cookware....
non-stick and stick
Amateur cooks will expect these pans to be "fully" non-stick. If you expect that, then buy a pan for $9.99 at your local department store.
These pans have non-stick qualities but not fully non-stick. You want food to stick somewhat, which in turn makes the fond on the bottom of the pan, which you turn into a sauce or gravy.
The stick qualities give you the proper browing and carmalization your looking for in cooking foods on your stove top.
Clean up is a snap! It is best to use Bar Keepers Friend as this removes all residue from the pan. I have found that regular dishcleaners do not work properly.
These are expensive, but they will be the only pans you ever need to buy, if you take care of them properly. Do not throw them into cold water right from the stove. All pans will warp if you do this.
They are a nice heavy weight gauge too.
As a professional chef, I have used many brands of pans and these are the best currently on the market. I do not use them in the restaurant as they are expensive and they would get destroyed in our fast paced atmosphere, but I have 2 complete sets at home and you get what you pay for. Perfection!
I mentioned before, if you expect these pans to be totally non-stick, then look for something else.

This exciting hybrid combines qualities of both traditional metal and non-stick cooking surfaces. Now not only can you brown, sear, and reduce sauces as the recipe intended, but you can also breathe a sigh of relief as you won't have a battle removing food and stains from the pan following use.

Both interior and exterior surfaces are infused with an advanced release polymer which actually penetrates below the surface of the metal, into its very pores, offering superb durability and versatility. The intrinsic properties of aluminum ensure fast and even heating, as you've come to expect from Calphalon. Every kitchen needs fry pans in a range of sizes. The 10 inch size is handy for sauteing a couple of chicken breasts, scrambling eggs for breakfast, or making a quick sauteed veggie side dish.

Nordic Ware Divided Skillet Omelet Pan & Poacher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The description fails to note a warning contained on the back of the product's label regarding glass/ceramic cooktops; "Use of high or even medium high heat will damage this pan and your stovetop."
The description states, "The pan's heavyweight construction". Actually the pan is made of very thin, lightweight aluminium. This explains how the pan can be damaged by medium high heat I guess.
Yes, I'm aggravated by the omission and false statement. It might show.
I returned mine.

This clever pan from NordicWare allows the cook to prepare omelets and poached eggs in the same pan. The pan's construction allows it to heat evenly for gentle cooking or rapid sautéing, and the durable nonstick coating helps delicate omelets release without sticking. A three-egg poacher insert fits into one side of the divided pan, and the other half can be folded over to form a lid for poaching. A large, easy-to-grip handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop, and a helper handle provides an even more secure grip. This pan should be washed by hand, but the nonstick coating makes cleanup quick and easy. It may cause damage to ceramic or glass cooktops if it overheats. Nordicware cookware is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan is quite a nifty little kitchen gadget. Before purchasing, I had said to myself, "Making an omelet in the microwave? Impossible." I got this pan and was proven wrong. To my surprise, the omelets made in this pan come out rather tasty. I was also pleased that the eggs come right out of the pan and don't stick at all. However, as others have said, you must use some kind of cooking spray, oil or butter for a completely non-sticking surface when removing the egg from the pan. It's easy to clean. No stuck-on, hard to remove egg whatsoever.
I remember reading one or maybe a few reviews that said their pan didn't come with instructions. Mine did. I followed them and the resulting omelet was not the best. It came out a bit hard. It was edible and not bad but not particularly the best omelet. The instructions are rather standard and goes as follows:
- 2-4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of milk or water
- Beat in a small bowl
- Pour the mixture in the omelet pan evenly on both sides
- Cook for 2 minutes
- Stir from outside in
- Place the toppings on each half and cook for another 1.5 minutes
- Remove from the microwave
- Fold the pan to make the omelet
What the instructions do not take into account is the wattage of the microwave you're using or that times may vary depending on the amount of eggs you use.
My findings based on the use of 2 eggs, which I think is more than enough(for me anyway), is that hand or electrically mixed eggs took 1.15 to 1.30 minutes to be completely cooked or when the eggs started to bubble up and it looked like they would bubble over and the wet egg was consumed. Any longer or following the above directions provided by Nordic Ware resulted in the hard or rubbery eggs that I described earlier. However, using the times I indicated resulted in a soft, fluffy, fully cooked omelet which was more to my liking. Another important note is that I'm using a 1250W microwave. Perhaps the factory directions would be more suitable if you have a lower wattage microwave or are using more than 2 eggs.
I mostly make cheese omelets. I like to place the cheese on after I take the omelet out of the microwave because from experience when I did it as instructed, the cheese came out watery.
Pan fried, stove-made omelets taste better in my opinion but this pan still does a good job and in a fraction of the time.
I also use the omelet pan for making eggs to put in my breakfast sandwiches. I just beat one egg and pour it on one side of the pan. Cool gadget for quick eggs in the morning.

Joie de Vivre 50162 Mini Fry Egg Pan with Nonstick Surface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would have never bought this pan if I had seen the reviews here, but I bought it on an impulse at a cookware outlet and I'm so glad I did! My pan doesn't have any of the problems (hot handle, peeling nonstick) that the other reviewers here have experienced. I suspect that since those earlier reviews the pan has been redesigned by the manufacturer.
Whatever the reason, I absolutely love it! It's the only pan I've ever found that is the perfect size (4") for english muffins and orowheat sandwich thins. Honestly, I'm a rather practical person, so I generally don't buy things with little characters on them, but this pan has ended up being the most-used pan in my kitchen. It's perfect for making scrambled egg sandwiches, so I use it several times a week.
If the handle starts heating up or the nonstick peels off, I'll update this review, but in over six months of weekly use, it's performed like a little champ! And, over time, the cartoon egg on the handle has grown on me, it seems kind of shocked or amazed... perhaps because it has to watch me cook an egg!
BTW-The secret to light, fluffy scrambled eggs is to use a low heat and stir constantly. It takes a little longer, but it is so worth it.
Enjoy!
Claire

Calphalon Unison Slide Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Omelette Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a professional chef I run across all sorts of products that are supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread. However, this pan just so happens to be the next best thing, and I picked it up at my local Le Gourmet Chef in Hagerstown, MD.
Simply put the ultra smooth non-stick surface is smoother than glass; thus cooking requires little if no oil and clean up is a breeze with a simple rinse and wipe. As long as you stay away from aerosol sprays you will have an enjoyable experience with this cookware or any cookware for that matter. If you must spray in your oil then I suggest you buy an oil mister because spraying from a can simply adds residue that ruins pans and takes away from the flavor of your food after buildup occurs. The best feature for all you home chefs is that this pan is 100% DISHWASHER SAFE! It's also oven safe to 500 degrees.
The clear glass cover rounds out the entire package deal and is equally easy to clean. It's nice to be able to cover your pan while cooking and still see what is happening inside without lifting the lid and loosing heat or worse causing a steam burn. Last but not least, the cookware is guaranteed for life, so what are you waiting for, go get one and start something new and exciting in the kitchen!

A useful addition to any cookware collection, this 12-inch omelet pan features a wide flat base and gently curved sides that make it easy to flip fillets, toss vegetables, or gracefully slide omelets from the pan to a plate.

Constructed from heavy-gauge hard-anodized aluminum, the cookware heats quickly and evenly (no hot spots to worry about), plus it provides an ultra-smooth Slide nonstick interior that effortlessly releases food--especially important when making omelets, crepes, or delicate sauces. To protect the nonstick cooking surface, be sure to only use nylon, coated, or wooden utensils. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, the cookware supplies a domed, tempered-glass cover--complete with a stainless-steel rim and riveted handle--that helps seal in heat, moisture, and nutrients, plus allows for checking on cooking food at a glance. The pan's long stainless-steel handle comes riveted for strength, stays cool to the touch on the stovetop, and offers a hole at the end for convenient hanging storage when not in use. The cookware cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
