Calphalon Unison Omelette Pans

I have had Calphalon since we got married in 1997.This set of pots and pans (new for 2009) are by far the "best" version of Calphalon I have ever seen! I can practically wipe them down, they are so easy to clean.They are also dishwasher safe, which is what I need given my busy lifestyle.Of note, you can't use PAM or such sprays on this new Unison set.No problemo as it cooks everything with about 1/3 the oil required.I hardly use any oil (get MISTO spray and put olive oil in there) and the pans cook up everything perfectly. The handles are supposed to be stay cool types but like other metal handles, they do heat up if left on the stove for a long time (or if they are short handles like those on the large stock pots).Great set overall!Cannot recommend highly enough.

At the outset, I want to note that I am very happy and have no problem using stainless pans for 90+% of my cooking.But for a few things (e.g., eggs) I just prefer to use a nonstick pan.Meanwhile, we have had All-Clad pans for more than a decade and we have been very happy with them EXCEPT for a couple of nonstick pans we bought.The nonstick surface wore off the pans too quickly and they just did not last like the rest of our stainless steel All-Clad pans have over the years.

So my wife picked up this Calphalon 8 inch omelet pan for those few occasions where I want a nonstick surface.

This pan rocks!It was apparent right from the start that the nonstick material(s) on this pan totally outclass what the All-Clad pans use.And this pan has proven to hold up much better.We have been using this pan for well over a year now and the interior still looks like new.I have no doubt that this pan will last us for many more years.

I still love my All-Clad stainless steel pans.But when it comes to nonstick pans, I think Calphalon is better and the best I have ever used.

UPDATE 1/20/12

The nonstick surface on this pan is still working great . . . while the surface on my last All-Clad "non-stick" pan (a 10 inch skillet) became totally useless.So we tossed the All-Clad pan and bought the Calphalon 10 inch Unison non-stick skillet that is the companion to this one.If possible, it seems that they have even IMPROVED the non-stick surface on these pans.Again, I really like my other All-Clad pans, but for some reason they just don't seem to make a good non-stick pan.Until they do, I highly recommend these Calphalon pans.

While the pan has performed well, there is a 1/8-inch flaw in the non-stick coating.So far it appears to be cosmetic and does not affect the cooking properties.Not worth returning.

My husband and I purchased this omelette pan after purchasing the Unison 15 piece set (omellete pan didn't come with the set).Although the pan is expensive, it is worth every penny!Excellent quality, so easy to use and clean.You don't have to put butter or oil in the pan. . .great for healthy cooking!Make sure to grease the pan before using it for the first time and wait for the pan to cool completely before washing.I highly recommend the Unison cookware to anyone!

This pan was a dream initially, but already has small scratches and a blister after less than 3 months of use!I use this pan 3-4 times per week, never above medium heat and only with plastic or silicone utensils.I have never put it in the dishwasher (although that's supposed to be okay) and I have always waited for it to cool before washing it with hot, soapy water and a sponge.I can't believe the poor quality!

Update:My replacement arrived with a small gauge on the cook surface.Really, another problem with the manufacturing process?!I expected more from Calphalon, especially at this price.Needlesstosay, I won't be giving it a third try.
