CalphalonHard-Anodized Nonstick 8" and 10" Frying Pan Set

I inherited a small 8 inch for this exact same pan from my mother. Had it many years and seldom used. I rediscovered the pan and started using it and am amazed how wonderful these Calphalon hard anodized pans are. Cooked food just slides off. Best pan ever for making eggs easy over. I love Mom's pan so much (and it is still like brand new after probably 30 years) that I bought a set of 8 inch and 10 inch while on sale over Memorial Day. Love them!.

I love it. I originally got these as a wedding gift 26yrs. ago and as we got more I took the 8” pan to work because it makes the perfect eggs. Well a guy at work used it and used a metal fork which damaged the Teflon and now the eggs stick to those areas and it should be thrown away. So I insisted that I got the exact same one that I received so many years ago. It’s a great size for a 2-3 scrambled omelette or fried eggs. 🍳

Some of the reviews for these skillets indicated the handles would get hot. I already own a sauce pan and never had that happen. Both of these appear well made. They heat evenly. The handles haven't gotten hot and are definitely nonstick. Overall I like them and would recommend them to anyone. I discovered what "might" be causing the issue with the handle getting hot. I used the 8 inch skillet on a large burner on the stove. It appears the heat will rise up around the body of the pan. The handle is fine on the larger pan. If I put the smaller pan on a small burner everything works fine.

Like the pans, used them and great product for the money.

This is my second set of these two sized (8" and 10") Calphalon skillets. I wanted another 10" size but decided to buy this set and give my current 8" one (which is almost like new) to my stepdaughter. These skillets are the greatest and are truly non-stick. Even when I cook a ham slice and put brown sugar on it, the clean up is a breeze.

I was looking to replace the 10" skillet from my current Signature Calphalon set that met its natural life expectancy with daily use. I also wanted to add an 8" skillet to my collection, so this combo seemed like the perfect choice. If you own any of the older Calphalon cookware made in the USA, be prepared for disappointment. Calphalon has moved most of its manufacturing overseas to China and we all know what that means, cheap labor + cheap materials = cheap quality. That's exactly what you get with this set. First thing I noticed out of the box was the substantial difference in weight. The 10" skillet made in the USA weighs 2lb 8.6on while the Chinese version only weighs 1lb 8.8oz. The Chinese skillets don't have the Calphalon named engraved/stamped on the underside of the handle as the USA pans do, and the handles on the pans made in the USA have a sort of stabilizing bracket with 3 rivets where the handle attaches to the pan, while the Chinese version only has 2 rivets and no bracket, making it far less durable. Finally, the USA pans say they are "metal utensil safe" which really isn't true since I never used metal on mine but the non-stick surface still chipped off; the Chinese version doesn't make this claim on the bottom of their pans. Overall, you get what you pay for and hopefully these last until the remainder of my USA Signature set needs to be replaced, then I'll splurge for a much better quality cookware set, NOT made overseas.

I really like these pans! They cook well, the heat seems evenly distributed and they wash up very easily!

Love that these are non stick and can go in the dishwasher !
