What Customers Are Saying
Many customers praise the nonstick surface and effortless cleanup, noting nothing sticks and the coating works well for eggs and vegetables with minimal oil. However, a substantial group expresses serious concerns about dangerously hot handles requiring pot holders and perceived quality decline compared to older models, describing current pans as lighter and flimsier. Some feel misled by the 8-inch sizing, noting the actual cooking surface is closer to 6 inches. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the nonstick performance valuable for daily cooking, though handle safety remains a significant dealbreaker for many.

Size has changed
Would Not RecommendJust purchased, product code stamped in is 1388. it is PHYSICALLY smaller (8" exactly) where my older 1388's are 8 1/2". Therefore I have NO Lids available to use with this pan.

Better than ever
This frying pan is even better than my old set of Calphalon pans. If I could afford it, I'd replace all my pans with this newer version

Sadly disappointed ☹️
Would Not RecommendI have been a 30-year user of Calphalon pans. Never bought another brand. I recommend the brand to family and friends. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of this last purchase. The pan is extremely lightweight, almost flimsy. It was supposed to be their hard anodized line but I feel like i either got the wrong pan, or your standards have changed.

Huge disappointment
Owned for 3 months, followed all care and use instructions. All we've ever cooked in this pan is eggs and its terribly scratched. I was instructed by Calphalon to file a warranty claim...which of course they denied. Disappointed in the product durability and the service. We've have cheap pans that has lasted better than this one. Save your money.
