Product Description
If you are drawn to the beauty of stainless steel, yet are reluctant to sacrifice the cooking efficiency of aluminum, you can now have the very best of both worlds. Triply gives you a mirror polish stainless steel exterior, a heavy gauge conductive aluminum filling, and a stainless steel interior which won't react with foods. The disk is then formed into a pan shape, with walls and bottom of equal thickness, which allows heat to be conducted evenly. Stay cool handles feature an ergonomic design and secure attachment. The versatile size and shape of this pan means you'll use it, well, just about every day.

With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The durable, 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. This 12-inch everyday pan has a domed, glass lid so cooking can be monitored without releasing heat. The lid is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, ensuring the pan not only can be used atop the stove for sautÉing, stir-frying, and preparing one-dish meals but can go into the oven for braising and even baking. Handles stay cool on the stovetop. The pan's rim is flared to facilitate dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to mirror-finish outside for beauty and wears a satin-finish inside to conceal inevitable utensil marks. It goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing better preserves the mirror-finish, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Versatile pan June 17, 2010
Bigwig Y (CA)
This is a big, deep, beautiful, and easy to use pan for everyday use. I use this for stir fry and sauce making because it is deep enough to catch all the spatters. With baking soda, cleaning is a breeze.
Everyday pan...YEAP. May 21, 2010

I love this pan, it has good size, no long handle to get in the way especially when using other burners.

I bought this pan about 2 months ago after contemplating purchasing it for quite a while. I have another Cuisinart Tri-Ply pot (8 qt. stockpot) and I really love it for its ability to heat water quickly, retain the heat, and then clean in a snap. I owned a Cuisinart everyday pan with just the aluminum bottom and while it was good, it wasn't great. When I sauteed fish, even with properly heating up the pan and the oil, the fish would stick. I was impressed with the excellent reviews of the Calphalon Tri-Ply version and decided to replace the Cuisinart pan with it.
Let me say that this pan has completely lived up to my expectations. Unlike the Calphalon version with the aluminum disk bottom, the fully clad Calphalon pan heats up very evenly and retains its heat all the way up the sides of the pan. This is my go-to pan for pastas. I make the sauce in the pan (with its wide bottom, sauces thicken quickly, so it is especially great for the kind of pasta sauces that you make while the pasta water is heating), and when pasta is done in the stockpot on the adjoining burner, I use my tongs (for spaghetti) or spider (for tubular pasta) to move the pasta from the pot into the everyday pan. Then toss in the sauce and add cheese and toss again. It is the perfect size for a dish using 1 lb. of pasta. Finally, it goes from stovetop to table -- it makes an attractive serving piece.
The second major use for the pan is roasting chicken. I recently learned that the best way to evenly roast a 3 1/2 to 4 lb. bird is by butterflying it. The 12" everyday pan is the perfect size to hold a butterflied chicken and the fully clad stainless steel heats up beautifully in the oven creating the right environment for a chicken with crispy skin and juicy meat. It works perfectly every single time.
And the best part is that the pan cleans up very easily. Just let cool, pour out the fat, add dishwashing liquid (Palmolive, not lemon-scented), add hot water and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Then rinse and wipe out clean. Very, very easy.
Buy this pan and see it enhance your cooking skills!

I'm anal when it comes to purchasing something and reading the instructions first. I followed the instructions to the letter and preheated the pan over medium/medium low heat (because you are supposed to be able to cook with less heat) then added oil and heated that for 1 minute. I then added hash brown potatoes. Following the directions to cook the hash browns "undisturbed" left a sticking mess that took real elbow grease to remove. So this is NOT a non-stick pan though no where in the advertising does it say it's non-stick.
It does, however, advertise that it has "stay-cool" handles. I burned my fingers the first time I used this pan. I just wanted to confirm what other reviewers also discovered about the "stay-cool" handles. I've owned pans for half the cost of this that DID have stay cool handles that were oven safe so I don't understand why they couldn't use a similar material on this pan? For this price I expected better performance than I received.
Overall I was quite disappointed. This was labeled as a "collector's edition". Perhaps it wasn't meant to be used. lol
I will continue to use this pan as it does distribute heat evenly and is better than the anodized pans that disintegrate after a couple of years of use. I will just experiment and never touch the pan without a pot holder.
 Good, but not as heavy as older Tri-Ply November 15, 2009

I have several Calphalon Tri-Ply skillets that I bought several years ago. They are marvelous. Very heavy , very conductive, and they were a great bargain when compared to All-Clad or some other high-end tri-ply pans. I use them almost daily and like them very much.
I ordered this 12-inch Everyday pan thinking Its better conductivity would enable me to use it as a paella pan on my stove top. Ordinary carbon steel paella pans are perfect if you're making paella over a wood fire or on the barbecue, but they aren't optimal on a stovetop burner. They don't conduct heat evenly, and most stove top burners aren't large enough to provide even heat across the entire bottom of a 12-inch paella pan, especially at low flame. My thought was that the tri-ply construction of this pan would allow me to make a paella without having to constantly rotate the pan over the burner to evenly cook the paella.
For the most part, my reasoning was correct, although the pan didn't perform as well as I had hoped. I don't think this pan is as heavily constructed as my older Calphalon Tri-Ply skillets. The pan doesn't feel or look quite as heavy, and the rivets are definitely not as robust. While I ended up with a delicious paella, I still found I had to move the pan over the burner to insure the contents cooked evenly. Not to the extent that would have been necessary with a thin carbon steel pan, but still, I needed to rotate the pan. The sides of the pan are also a little higher than are optimal for a paella pan, but that's really here nor there, as the pan wasn't specifically designed for paella.
Given that I had paella in mind, I really didn't need the glass lid that came with this pan, although since the pan will probably be pressed into service for other cooking tasks, the lid may come in handy. I do find the glass to be a bit unwieldy. It's more dome-shaped than a metal pan lid would be, so it takes more room to store, and also requires more careful handling. The fact that it's glass, in my opinion, doesn't confer any extra benefit. As soon as steam forms, the glass becomes virtually opaque, so you still have to lift the lid to see what's going on in the pan.
Over all, I'm pleased with this pan, although I wish it was as heavily constructed as my older Calphalon Tri-Ply pans. It's still a very good value. A similar tri-ply pan from All-Clad would cost two or three times as much, with very similar construction.
