Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid

There's plenty of room for sauteeing, enough depth for frying, and the short handles don't get in the way on the range top. The lid is nicely crowned, which lets you pile up vegetables as you're cooking them down. And it's attractive enough to serve from at the table.

A good componant of a basic set of cookware.

I purchased this pan for our college age daughter and her first apartment. I thought of just trying "it out" before giving this pan to her. I cooked a chicken stirfry in it plus some spiced rice. She is now getting my old faberware pan and I am keeping "my" new all purpose pan. This pan is sturdy and the handles are much easier to grip than the old faberware handles. The only negative aspect of this pan- pot holders "must" be used in griping these handles because they are steel and become hot. This is an easy pan to both use and wash- can take a lot of banging around and hard wear and tear-it is a lot of fun to use.
