Not nonstick???
I recently transitioned to only stainless 5 ply cookwear but wanted a nonstick pan to make eggs easier in the morning, Used this for the first time to scramble two eggs. Look at the photo on my review... never had a nonstick pan this bad. Going back to stainless.

Hi there, Thank you for giving our Calphalon 8" Hard Anodized Aluminum Nonstick Fry Pan a try, and I’m sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations—especially for something as simple as making eggs. A few quick tips that may help improve the nonstick performance: 1. Use low to medium heat: Nonstick coatings perform best at lower temperatures; high heat can reduce effectiveness. 2. Preheat briefly, then add oil or butter: Even nonstick pans benefit from a small amount of fat for delicate foods like eggs. 3. Avoid cooking sprays: These can leave a residue that builds up over time and affects the surface. 4. Clean gently after use: Use a soft sponge and avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the coating. We will make sure to share your feedback with our appropriate team, as it helps us continue to improve our products and overall experience. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our official website's "Contact Us" page. We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5 PM ET. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve your experience. Thanks, Calphalon Consumer Care

This replaced an old model. Favorite part, it is not as heavy as the old one. I am also going to purchase the next size up.

Love it, but not like my old Calphalon
I really love my new 8"? Calphalon frying pan, but it seems very light weight. The old one, which I still have, and use, seems heavier. A bit worried that it could tip or be knocked over and the spilled hot oil or food would be dangerous. Clean up is great! Well made, just much lighter.

Do Not Buy this Pan
I would not buy this product. The heat from the pan transfer the handle to pick it up. You cannot pick up this pan without a heat mitt if you are using it to cook on this stove

Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Here are a few tips that may help in the meantime: 1. Use low to medium heat settings to reduce the amount of heat that transfers through the handle during stovetop cooking. 2. Ensure the pan is centered on the burner so the flame or heat source isn’t extending up the sides. 3. Allow the pan to cool slightly before handling if you’ve been cooking for an extended period. 4. Use a silicone grip or sleeve if you need extra protection while cooking. Your feedback about the heat transfer is important, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. If you need any assistance with your Calphalon product itself, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly via our official website — we’re always here to help! We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am – 5pm Eastern Time. https://www.calphalon.com/support/contact-us Have a nice day!

Too hot to handle

Great!
This frying pan is rxactly as pictured on the Calphalon website. It is sturdy and has a goood teflon coating that makes the cooking surface ideal for cooking without a lot of additional butter or oil. I highly recommend it!

Not a heavy weight skillet
I was disappointed in this product. It's not a heavy skillet like I assume Calphalon always has been in my past purchases. It's not a bad product but it just isn't high quality like I was hoping

Hot handle
This would be a great little pan except I didn’t realize how hot the handle would get when I was using it. I’ve not had that problem with my other calphalon pans.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Calphalon® Hard-Anodized Nonstick 8-Inch Frying Pan. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced an issue with the handle getting hot during use. This isn't typical for Calphalon pans, and we understand how this can be inconvenient and concerning. Our pans are designed with user safety and comfort in mind, so it's important to us that you have a positive experience. We recommend using oven mitts or a pot holder when handling the pan if it becomes too hot. Additionally, please ensure that the handle is not positioned directly over a heat source, as this can sometimes cause it to heat up more than usual.

We can provide further assistance, discuss potential solutions. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience.

Pan review
Sturdy pan, non stick surface is great, smaller than my previous frying pan, but easily makes scrambled eggs (3-4 eggs), fried eggs (only one at a time)

Used to be good
I’ve loved Calphalon pans for years, but the quality has plummeted! I bought this to replace an 8” Select fry pan and the quality isn’t even close. I’m not sure how they are even allowed to call this pan nonstick. Also, it’s 8” at the widest point. The actual cooking surface is more like 6”. Sorry to say I’ve bought my last calphalon product. The cheapest stuff at the big box stores are better than this junk.

It's OK
This pan is just OK. I bought it with a larger one to replace old Caphalon pans. These are much lighter, and I had eggs stick to the pan after flipping them the first time I used it. I long for the days when we could shop at stores, not online - lesson learned.

Expensive garbage
After using it for 6 months, it looks awful, and everything sticks to it. You might as well buy a cheaper frying pan.

Awesome non-stick
OMG! These pans are awesome!! I replaced my old ones because they were no longer non-stick. I’m an egg flipper are nothing sticks in these pans. My handles don’t get hot. I bought 4 pans so far! I put my money where my mouth is!! Enjoy 😊
