Picked up this to complement my ever-growing collection of Calphalon tri ply pans.And, like every other pan in this series, I have been very pleased!Sautees, cooks, fries great.The 8" omelette pan is ok for one person, the 10" pan is great for a family.In my opinion, the 12" fry pan is much too large, so this 10" is just right.Additionally, the 3 quart saute pan lid will fit this pan (check my other reviews of the tri-ply series).To the person who complained that "used it only once and its interior surface has discolored already."I cook regularly on a gas range, and it takes me several weeks before it starts to get discolored.That statement is like the iPod lawsuit of the guy suing Apple for hearing loss- of course your pans will get dirty with usage, it's not magic. Just remember, use Barkeeper's Friend and a Dobie pad (sponge encased in nylon net) to keep the luster!
Lastly, to the person that complained that these are not of the same quality as All-Clad, I don't see what the difference is.Compared with the All-Clad Stainless line, both use the same tri-ply on sides and bottom with aluminum core.The difference is that AC uses a metal that works better on induction ovens (magnetic), albeit is of worse quality than non-magnetic metals.
If you want to pay for overpriced All-Clad, go right ahead- the only one losing is you and your wallet.
Happy cooking!
** 2nd EDIT **
I've had these pots and pans for 1.5 years now, and have steadily added to my tri ply collection.I'm still very pleased with them.
- They have still retained their mirror finish on the exterior.
- Cleanup is a breeze- just rub a bit of barkeeper's friend (I'd like to shake the hand of whoever invented that- best thing since sliced bread).
- The moisture channeling from the lids is very much appreciated- everything I cook is definitely juicier.
- I was amazed at the quality of material- I boiled some eggs in a pot one day, and 14 hours later, I kid you not, the water was still warm, not lukewarm, but warm!
The biggest complaint I have about the pots, and the sole complaint that I can think of, is that the handles on the lids do get a bit hot when cooking.Just do yourself a favor and grab a pot-holder when cooking.
Otherwise, I'm still very satisfied with them!
