Review on 🍳 Calphalon Classic 5-Quart Sauté Pan: Nonstick, Hard-Anodized with Cover by Sean Spence

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Will last for years if you follow directions.

The only reason I have to buy these pans is because of my brother in law. He ruined my other pans by not following the directions. These are the rules for any nonstick pan you want to keep nonstick. 1) No strong heat! These pans work very well on low to medium power. Even preheating these pans at high heat will warp the metal and damage the non-stick coating. 2) HAND WASH ONLY! Dishwasher detergents contain caustic substances that will attack some metals and destroy non-stick coatings. 3) NO SPRAYING! There's a propellant in things like Pam that will also damage the nonstick coating. 4) NO COLD WATER ON A HOT PAN! Who does it? I saw him take a hot skillet and pour cold water straight from the faucet onto it. For real? I'm sure he's doing this to wash off the grease while the pan is still hot. However, this deforms the metal and destroys the non-stick coating. 5) NO METAL GOODS! Again, who is doing this? I have seen metal spoons, ladles, forks, spatulas and even KNIVES being used on my pans. Do not do that. Just.DON'T.Calphalon pans are among the best on the market and will last for YEARS if treated with care and respect. I have a complete set of Calphalon pots and pans. I am very happy with them and am absolutely sure that everything I cook in them will turn out great. Good buy. Five stars.
