 Chicken pot | |
| Even if you cook nothing else in this pot, buy it just for making chicken. I've switched to a very healthy diet solely because making chicken in this pot is so wonderful. Follow the directions - let the chicken sit at room temp a bit, allow it to cook and 'release' from the cooking surface before turning it - and the absolute best part is having some chicken boullion on hand to make a quick sauce afterwards.
I read the reviews here. My first response is that I would never dream of cooking eggs in this. Get the omelet pan or the international crepe pan offered on this site for that. I have also used it to make a beef roast, searing it on stovetop then putting the whole shebang in the oven. I've even made filet mignon in this pan, when the weather turned bad on a cookout. Simply put, this pan will improve your quality of life. Cleaning isn't an issue. I soak it in hot water afterwards, scrub it, and good to go. About every third time I use it I break out the Bon Ami and scrub pad. As others have commented in reviews, this pan doesn't even get put away. It sits atop the stove in defiance of the heat-and-eat lifestyle I used to have, and every time I look at it I'm reminded of the aroma of garlic being sauteed in olive oil. I <3 this pot!!! | |
| A high quality pan for the money | |
| I have this pan for over a year now. Love it! It is durable, heavy but well balanced. A top quality pan for $30 shipped. You can't go wrong! | |
 Not Happy | |
| I wanted to try Calphalon and the price was right. I read the enclosed documents on cooking and care, but food still stuck to it. Calphalon can not go into dishwasher. I also have the Calphalon non-stick 10" saute pan and love it. It wipes clean with a paper towel and rinses out with soap & hot water. |
