This 10-inch Skillet is indispensable for sauteing veggies and fish, searing meat and preparing eggs, and when not in use, the mirrored polished pan is beautiful enough to display on your stovetop or hang from a rack. Made from a durable, heavy gauge aluminum that is sandwiched between two layers of stainless, it offers uncompromising cooking performance, whether you cook every day or every hour. Easy to clean, these pans have a thumb indent on the long, Cool V handles for ease of use and are well balanced to ensure you won't tip or spill pan contents. Interior is softly brushed to mask any signs of wear and tear. Calphalon Tri-Ply is an affordable and worthwhile investment for cooks of all levels.

1st time I used this pan browning link sausage the inside pan bottom got a burned on, bronze film that was *very* difficult to remove. in fact, there is still a slight residue. i attribute this to the lack of extra thickness on the pan bottom. this feature is typical on other quality pans. I suspect the heat transfer was too much although i had the burner on "low." I admit to trying to save a buck vs. "All-clad" brand but wish i hadn't

Perfect Pan
»
Originally bought the smaller size to make omlets. Loved it so much that I got this size for larger meals. I use it for everything. The quality and weight are excellent.
I don't have to worry about the poisons that "coated/Teflon" pans put out when heated.

Great Value

This is an excellent value and a hell of a sound product. You cannot go wrong with pan. I recommend it to anyone, in fact, I purchased one for my mother after being utterly satisfied.

Tr-Ply Rusted after one use?!?!...RUST?!??...unbelievable.
»
This has to be the strangest review you'll ever read regarding a tri-ply stainless steel pan, but yes, after using this pan ONE TIME, it started to rust.
I purchased the pan here, from Amazon, received it 2 days ago. Used it the first night and had some chicken fond stuck to the bottom of it. I put about a 1/2" of water in it to soak overnight. The next morning I noticed a very slight brown coloration in one of the rings on the interior wall of the pan. I thought it was just a scrape from a utensil, but in the back of my mind, it seemed like rust starting, which should be impossible for this pan. This pan is built with stainless steel surrounding aluminum, both of which, do not rust.
So, to be sure, I cleaned the pan completely, and put 3/4" of tap water in it to see what would happen, and left it overnight.
Well, the next day I awoke to a 6" rust line around the inside of the pan, and it looks like if I left it longer, it would have encompassed the whole inner diameter.
So, after thinking I was losing my mind, I called Calphalon. They said they've never heard of such a thing and they wanted it sent to them to run tests. I'm sending it to them as we speak and am VERY curious what the outcome might be.
My advice is if you've bought one of these tri-ply pans recently, do a water test overnight and see the outcome.
These should never rust, for any reason, it should be physically impossible.
These are manufactured in China. Obviously my pan is not made of what it says it is, or it would not rust. What I want to know is what ARE they made of? And is it even safe to cook with?
This is very troubling.

10" Omelet Pan
»
I love all my Calphalon Triply Stainless Steel pans, including the 10" omelet pan. It is a nice medium-sized pan, great for poaching eggs, grilling a sandwich, small fry jobs for 1 or 2 people. Like all the Triply Stainless Steel cookware, it heats quickly and cleans up easily. I highly recommend this size for a small family.
