OK for the price(around $30.00). But as a long time owner of the old commercial pans made in Toledo OH, these just don't compare in weight or quality. I've had my old pans for 20+ years and still use them daily. Commercial means that they are Industrial Grade cookware. These are NOT, they are home use grade pans. As a Chef I know the difference, I work with commercial grade cookware daily. These pans are made in China. They are Not shoddy just not what the company used to sell as commercial.

What a disappointment. Calphalon shouldn't advertise non-stick with the hard anondize products. The fact you need to read all these mixed reviews that are so opposite each other, demonstrates that this is not a premier product.
Now, I am afraid to by a new non-stick pan from Calphalon even though my past pans were great! Buyer beware!!!!
Rating: - this pan is not for everyone!
I was not impressed, The pan sticks , and is hard to clean.Even on the lowest heat is does not perform well. I would not buy it again!

The heat dissipation of the pan is excellent. I cooked a seafood
stew and had no trouble with burning spots or overcooking.
The cost compared to an All Clad is an incredible deal.
Cleaning is more involved than a non stick.
Rating: - This pan is AWFUL - everything sticks to it!
I own other Calphalon pans and like the quality, so I was really excited to get the 12-Inch Everyday Pan. I was doing a general stir fry the first time I used it, and a few pieces of the meat stuck to the bottom of the pan. Had to soak the pan for a couple of hours before I was able to get the meat off with a sponge without damaging the coating. Of course, I thought it was user error, so I gave it another try the following week. I was pan frying a large batch of delicious home-made meat dumplings in a generous amount of cooking oil, and every single one of the dumplings stuck to the bottom of the pan like it was cemented in place! My entire batch was ruined and I will never use this pan again.
