Product Review

Perfect flips, and no flops! Calphalon's Contemporary Stainless omelet pans feature a thick, flat, wide bottom for quick, even heating and cooking with little to no oil. The gently sloping sides allow the omelet to glide freely, flip in one quick motion, and slide easily from the pan to your plate. Plus, cleanup is easy. The rolled stainless-steel Cool Touch handle conducts heat more slowly than cast-iron handles, so it stays cool on the stovetop. It's sure to bring out your sunny side.

Amazon.com Review

Contemporary Stainless is for home chefs who place as much importance on cookware style as they do on performance. The sleek, modern vessels in this line have curvaceous and smooth flared tulip shapes that create a stunning presence while heating on a stovetop or hanging from a pot rack. The brushed steel exteriors are a beautiful complement to professional stainless-steel appliances and are less likely to show baked-on grease or wear than a polished finish can. Gracefully curved stainless-steel handles are comfortable to clutch and are forked in a half-moon shape at the riveted base to prevent heat from transferring down the shaft.

Heating in this 10-inch round omelet pan is sure to satisfy the performance requirements of discerning cooks. The pan boasts triple-layer construction with stainless-steel exteriors bonded over a full aluminum core that extends up the sides as well as through the bottom. Aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, providing consistent cooking of fish fillets or chicken breasts or uniform setting of eggs for a frittata. The sloping sides keep food from spilling out during cooking but then aid serving as crepes or omelets slide right out. The stainless-steel surfaces are safe in the oven and can withstand broiler temperatures as well as the use of metal utensils. All Contemporary Stainless is dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

From the Manufacturer

As the kitchen becomes the social center of more and more American homes, consumers are focusing greater attention on the details of kitchen design. Now, style-conscious home chefs with a taste for all things modern have a new line of cookware to call their own: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless brings stunning, contemporary design into the home kitchen. Crafted from lustrous, brushed stainless steel and featuring clean lines and curvaceous silhouettes, Calphalon Contemporary Stainless expresses the very soul of modern style. Sweepingly sexy, sculpted handles and subtly domed glass covers lend additional panache to each piece.


Professional, Versatile, Comfortable

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless features tri-ply construction--the choice of many professional chefs. A layer of heavy-gauge aluminum, sandwiched between the stainless-steel interior and exterior of each pan, provides superb conductivity and even heating throughout the vessel.

Each uniquely shaped Calphalon Contemporary Stainless vessel is designed to accommodate several cooking techniques. Pans are ideal for use on the stovetop, in the oven, and even in the broiler. They’ll also look fabulous on your table, so you can use them for serving, too.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless makes it easy to keep an eye on what you’re cooking. Sparkling glass covers let you monitor a whole stovetop full of pans at a glance. The cookware also features long, sculpted handles that are as comfortable as they are beautiful. Not only do they feel great in your hand, they’re designed to stay cool on the stovetop.


Easy Cleanup

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless is 100 percent dishwasher-safe for effortless cleanup. (That’s a feature you’ll appreciate at the end of a long evening of entertaining.) You can also hand wash your pans using a dish cloth and hot sudsy water. For occasional polishing, we recommend Bar Keeper’s Friend.

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 did notice another reviewer remark that food sticks to them and that they're hard to clean. I don't want to pick on anyone, but I suspect that...Read more

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.

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!
