Another great Calphalon pan
This pan is perfect for me. I have a 12 inch skillet from Calphalon, and its a wonderful pan as well, but it's a hassle to break that thing out every time I want eggs for breakfast or want to saute a few veggies for dinner. I have been looking for a smaller pan like this for a while, and the one thing I saw with a lot of other 8-inch omelet pans was that they were very light. This pan is thick and heavy enough to retain heat when food is put in, but not too heavy to be cumbersome. The nonstick surface is great as well - food releases with ease, and cleanup is a snap. Don't get fooled by other brands that are just a piece of sheet metal with teflon on them - you'll be looking for a new one in 2 months. This pan is a great buy at this price, and in my opinion Calphalon cookware is head and shoulders above it's competition.
Nice pan, non stick, very small
If you are looking for a small non-stick pan for eggs for one big or two small eaters, this is a nice pan. If you have a family this pan is most likely far too small to suit your needs
The surface is truly non-stick. This pan is great for making omelets, or frittatas, which is all it is used for in my home due to its diminutive size. The pan will hold up fine in the oven, which is where I finish my frittatas.
If you own one of the Calphalon sets, there will be probably be a lid in your home that fits this pan (which I have found useful). This little skillet is the perfect size for making one burger which is where the lid comes in handy.
In order to maintain the non-stick surface I place circles of felt between my pans to keep them from scraping together. This seems to work fine in my kitchen for those pans that are stored inside each other.
Overall, I give this pan 5 stars because it is exactly what it is advertised to be, a non-stick 8...
Great small skillet
I'm a fan of Caphalon and when I decided to replace my 7" skillet with an 8" one I immediately looked to the Professional series of Calphalon with a non-stick interior. I have not been disappointed. This is a nice size for two people whether it be an omelette or using it for prep work for another dish. It has a heavy gauge body and conducts the heat well. The non-stick surface is great for easy clean-up. The sides are high enough so stirring food is not an issue. I was slightly concerned about the configuration of the handle--my other ones are solid and this one is turned metal and open on the bottom. The edges near where it is attached to the pan seemed like they might be sharp but now that I've used the pan for a month or more this is not a problem.The handle does not get hot. I would highly recommend this omelette pan if you are looking for the 8" size.
