The Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Omelette Pan is one of the best frying pans (nonstick) available today. It has a hard-anodized exterior, making it strong and durable. Cleaning is a breeze and cooking with it is a healthy, low-fat option. The pan is also versatile, as it can be used for a variety of dishes, and is oven and broiler safe. Owners of this pan are highly satisfied with its convenience, value for money, and quality.Amazon Customer: I've had a set of Contemporary Caphalon for about 10 years. I did not realize they discontinued this line. Found this 8 inch pan recently, added to my collection, matches in weight, style and quality. Arrived packed in manufacturers box, wrapped and in perfect condition.

MindsEyeMindsEye: As in other reviews, my “new” pan showed with a series of small gouges on the lip. Additionally, I know occasionally Amazon skips on the packaging, mine showed up wrapped in a plastic bag tossed in a box. No box or any official packaging of any kind. As far as the pan goes, rock solid, great handle, feels great, I’m keeping it. It’s just in other reviews, this was obviously part of a set, or just there way of selling damaged products.

Maxine R. Morgan: This is a Calphalon CONTEMPORARY, and the top diameter is actually 8 1/2". It will fit an 8 1/2" lid, but an 8" lid is too small. That being said, the pan is solidly built and smooth. An omelet slides right out of the pan, and the pan is easy to clean. This is my second pan, replacing one that had see daily use (and abuse) since 2015. SOME people say you can clean these in the dishwasher, but I don't recommend it. My first pan' interior turned a brown color after the first time I put it in the dishwasher, and it was never as non-sticky again.

Raindance: I cannot vouch for the durability of this particular pan as I have only used it a few times since it (very quickly) arrived from Amazon. But, I also have an 8 month old Calphalon Sear/Non-stick pan which lost its "sear" quality pretty quickly even though I did not use spray oil, metal utensils or dishwasher. So, with this pan, I am using spray oil, but still no metal and hand washing. It sautes and browns really well. Burnt onions slide right off (I answered the phone while cooking). It cleans up in a flash. I give it 5 stars for the beautiful carmelization it achieves despite my poor cooking skills. The pan is fairly lightweight and the handle does not get too hot. It is also a good size for a steak or fish fillet, being about 8 1/2" across. But the description says it comes with a lid and it does not. The lids are sold separately or there appears to be another version of this pan with a lid. Amazon made everything all right with a credit for the lids, so I have no complaint about Amazon at all. Amazon has been very fair with me.
