Calphalon One Nonstick 11-Inch Square Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this griddle for a couple of years now. The surface has turned somewhat dark and the non-stick surface is not quite non-stick any longer.

Someone had told me that using canola spray oils (like Pam) can cause a sticky buildup on non-stick surfaces which are difficult to come off and then end up burning on and ruining a surface like the Calphalon.I really don't know if it's true or if the pan has just lost its non-stick properties over time.The ONLY non-stick cookware we've ever purchased which has not ever lost its non-stick surface after a few years are some high end ("expensive") stuff we bought at Costco from one of their traveling road shows.

But I contacted Calphalon. They said they the cookware has a lifetime warranty and all we have to do is pay shipping to send in the pan and they will replace it free.

What REALLY disturbs me about this pan is that it slides over the stove top grates.This may not be a problem on glass cooktops but on the standard ceramic type grates that came with our GE Profile gas oven/cooktop, this griddle is the ONLY one of our pans that slides around. I consider that potentially dangerous.

I would spend the money to ship back and replace, but I certainly would not one new again.

Calphalon C1210P Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have upgraded my rating after using the pan every day for a month.I am giving it five stars because it is a tremendous value.I was too critical in my initial review.
This is my first Calphalon pan. I purchased it primarily to use as an egg and breakfast fare pan. I wanted a good non-stick pan, because most of my other pans are stainless steel.
I consider it a very good buy for the price. It has a very attractive design and the interior non-stick cooking surface appears to be very durable. However, the pan is slightly heavy and slow to reach the proper temperature compared to stainless steel. The manufacturer's enclosed brochure says the slow warm-up is due to the non-stick surface (true of most non-stick pans). Once it arrives at the required temperature, it performs very well. This aluminum pan is the equivalent of a permanently seasoned cast iron griddle. It produces foolproof omelets and the food never sticks.I use it to warmup chicken breasts and make grilled sandwiches too.It is the most used pan in the house, because of my passion for eggs.
This product, like a few other Calphalon products I have examined, slipped past the quality control inspector. On my pan there is an interior area, smaller than a grain of rice, that was not sprayed with the non-stick coating. It is high enough on the pan where no one will ever cook on that spot, but it is there in plain sight. The lack of quality control may have something to do with the Calphalon pans being manufactured in third world countries - no offense intended. This pan is made in China.You would probably not have any trouble forgiving the stray blemish.Especially, when you consider this pan's beauty, functionality, and price.
Here is my list of PROS and CONS for this purchase.
PROS:
- Good price.
- Excellent non-stick surface - appears to be very durable too.
- Excellent stain resistant exterior.
- Cool & comfortable handle.
- Attractive appearance.
- Lifetime warranty.
CONS:
- Slow to warm up, because of the non-stick surface.
- Fairly heavy pan - you won't flip anything without a spatula - think griddle.
- Quality control at Calphalon could be better.
- The handle is beautiful, but the finish on the handle and rivets are not as refined as some of the more expensive cookware brands. However, it has no impact on the cooking.
Conclusion:Excellent pan for the price.

Calphalon Unison Nonstick Nonstick Grill Pan and Griddle Set 2-pc. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These pans heat unevenly to the point where they simultaneously burn and undercook food. We have not had this problem with our older Calphalon or All-Clad pans. The uneven heat distribution is undoubtedly related to the thickness of the aluminum. The bottom of the pans are 3.9mm thick. Our older Calphalon pans are 5.5mm thick--40% thicker! Indeed the pans feel lightweight and cheap, similar to non-stick pans you buy at the local supermarket. I suggest you avoid these pans and either buy a cheaper item of similar quality or hunt for better quality.

This review is based on 6 weeks experience with these pans.

All-Clad Nonstick Double Grill & Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried several stove top grills, so I feel qualified to comment on this one.First I bought the non-stick aluminum Nordicware grill, which worked ok till the non-stick peeled.Next I tried the LeCreuset, which was sooooo heavy, hard to clean, and began to develop rust spots.Next was the Lodge Logic, which was similar to the LeCreuset, but cheaper.(Too heavy and hard to clean.)Finally, I purchased this All-Clad Grande Grille Pan, which is the largest of the lot.It cooks evenly over two burners on my gas stove and cleans up easily with a little soaking.So far, this grill out performs any of the others and I am finally HAPPY with my purchase!(If you are a Foodie, you may notice Giada DeLaurentis using this same grill on "Everyday Italian".)If you are in the market for a quality stove-top grill, this one won't disappoint you.
