Excellent construction. The non stick surface is very good, although not as smooth as our older Calphalon 10 inch non stick. It doesn't seem to matter, nothing sticks to it and clean up is a snap. The handle does not get hot while cooking which is a nice touch.
My only concern would be the lid, which is made of glass. It works fine and it's nice to see the food simmering away under it, until condensation clouds it up. But mostly, I worry about it breaking at some point as I both my wife and I are rather clumsy.
Otherwise, an excellent choice at an excellent price. I would recommend it.

I have owned an entire set of Calphlon One cookware for years. Originally we received a set of lifetime warranty Calphlon cookware for out wedding in 1995.
After about 7 years the pans were anything but non stick so we brought them back figuring we would get a new set due to the warranty. Well since they didn't make that style anymore we received Calphalon One and still had to pay about 50% of the retail price..
Anyway, that was about 7 years ago and I'm now so fed up with food sticking on these pans that I'm looking for a new set.
I just cooked 3 eggs on the 8" fry pan..heated it up using med heat, sprayed with some light oil, them put the eggs in..I am now soaking the pan so I can clean it because it's stuck all over it.
I will say the pans do still look good but the performance is very disappointing and not sure why they can claim they're non stick.

Love this pan! Previously purchased the smaller pan but needed a bigger one for making eggs for the whole family. Easy clean up.

I don't usually buy "brands," but after trying out various pans over the years, I have found that Calphalon is one of those rare "names you can trust." At one time, I had a full set but those left years ago with an ex-girlfriend when we broke up, so I have been replacing them as I can.
This "Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Fry Pan" is available at a really good price, and is a high-performance and versatile frying pan. I am completely satisfied with the purchase.
Sadly, my apartment doesn't come with a fancy gas range, and my electric burners have been a challenge to overcome with cooking. They always heat up one side more than the other, and I am constantly rotating the pan to get even cooking. This Calphalon pan heats evenly, and while I still have to do a little creative spinning it is not nearly to the extent I did with my previous cheap frying pan.
The nonstick coating is a dream as well. No matter what I am cooking, meat, veg or fish, it just slides off the pan easy as you please. While I am aware that nonstick coating will eventually wear off, it is nice to have the lifetime guarantee that comes with Calphalon pans. In a few years I can just box up this pan and send it back for a new one.
The glass lid is a nice bonus, and the reason why I chose this pan in particular. It is nice and heavy, so I don't have to worry so much about it breaking, and I can see inside while my creations are cooking. Having a 12-inch surface area insures that I can put a lot in there as well, which is appreciated when I am cooking for a party.

We like the pan a lot, but I am annoyed by the seam on the lid. I wonder after a year or so of use if it will come apart there. I might consider buying the pan without the lid next time.
