I watched the Unison demonstration video on the Calphalon website. This has been a great product for various applications. No problem with cleaning up, handle's "Y" shape helps to keep it cool. Highly recommended :-)

I'm an outdoor grill cook -- big time. I got the Calphalon Grill Pan as a birthday present, and I must admit I wasn't too enthused. Why would you want to pretend to grill indoors, right?
Well, a nice steak and a rainy day gave me the opportunity to try my pan. I cooked the steak over medium heat on an electric range, and the results were fantastic. I ate the tenderest steak I've ever cooked on a stovetop, rivaling the tenderness I get from the grill. Sure, you can't mimic the flavor of cooking on an outdoor grill, but the look (grill marks) and tenderness were identical. I got a slightly sauteed taste because I had a trace of butter and oil in the pan -- enough to make a thin layer coating the bottom. The taste was definitely different from an outdoor grill, but regardless the meat tasted excellent. I seasoned it just like I would for the grill before cooking.
Being a natural skeptic, but enthused by the results with the steak, I decided to try the pan again cooking boneless chicken breasts. Same results! Super tender, juicy, and great looking meat came out of the pan. I'm sold. This is the pan for me when cooking grill meat indoors.
The secret to nonstick is to let the pan heat up fully over medium heat (no higher) before putting the meat in the pan. Putting a little butter and oil in the pan, and waiting until the butter turns golden brown lets you know when the pan is ready to use. Soaking the pan in warm water immediately after cooking makes for easy cleanup. Enjoy!

Calphalon is the top of the line for cooking. Added this Gill Pan to my collection as this is great for searing chicken,steaks etc.

I already had the pancake pan and I wanted to be able to grill so I got this one. I am happy with the purchase and it sears well.

I was swayed by the hype about the Unison line - you can brown meat in a nonstick pan! It's kind of true, but I realize I don't like the grill ridges. It seems like they exacerbate the collection of liquid under the meat, which interferes with the sear. If I want a grill I'll use a real grill and it will actually work. I'd rather have a flat pan to sear with (my mistake). The pan is also very wide and shallow, which I find inconvenient though others may like.
