This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 10-Inch Omelet Pan (Kitchen)
I own the entire set of Calphalon Contemporary and use it daily. These pans are outstanding; the heat distribution is excellent (I've checked it with a laser thermometer), it's nicely weighted and the curved sides on the pan itself are excellent when flipping contents (which makes you look quite professional, if I do say so myself).
As for the handles, the curved design makes it easy to keep the contents of the pan level when picking it up and they stay surprisingly cool during cooking. While they're long enough to give the proper leverage, they are slightly shorter than some other pans I've used. This is a tremendous benefit though - I have two little girls in the house and I always point the handles inward toward the center of my cooktop; because they're slightly shorter, they don't overlap or tangle with one another.

I have purchased many pots and pans in this collection. I have the exact pan in non-stick but wanted the stainless version. Now I've had some mishaps (tilapia) but for the most part the pan has performed extremely well. It heats up very fast and I have a ceramic cooktop. I love the feeling of cooking with out non-stick cookware. I plan on purchasing the 12 inch soon.
Love me some Calphalon,

I've purchased the SS as a replacement for a non-stick Calphalon skillet that I enjoyed using. It's holding up well to my cooking style, which involves a fair amount of high-temp quick cooking that sears the meats I use. I only wish it could help when I set off my fire alarm due to the smoke!
