 Terrific Qualty & Excellent Value for small Stir Fry Pan October 6, 2008
R. Taylor (Chicago, IL USA)
I have been an advocate (maybe even a snob?) for 20 years for the All-Clad LTD anodized line of fry pans and saute pans, and I always thought that Calphalon pans were maybe a half-step down from the professional All Clad line in terms of stove-top details and in durability of construction. I have had the 10" Calphalon One stir fry pan for only a few weeks---but, boy, am I impressed.
This is a perfect hybrid "wok" for a stir fry for two or three people. The infused surface has, so far, been a terrific hot surface pan for the type of vegetable and meat/seafood stir frys that my daughter particularly likes. And I have had only easy experiences in clean up of the infused-anodized pan, and the pan looks terrific hanging next to my All-Clad suite. I think that I will check out other Calphalon One infused metal products when it comes time to expand my cooking utensil lineup.
Hope to find the 12" stir-fry pan on sale someday. I would need a larger pan for a stir fry for 4 people or more.
As the manufacturer notes: this pan should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. And note that it does not come with a lid of any type. (The staninless steel lid from one of my All Clad pans fits this 10" stir fry pan perfectly.)
Good job, Calphalon!
 I hate it !! September 18, 2008

This pan is a good size, stable, heats evenly, is just all around great. I'm tempted to get a couple more and use them for everything.

Concur with the other reviewers for the most part. The price is hard to beat, and the cooking properties sold me on the line enough to buy the higher-priced 1.5qt saucepan.
My only gripe is specific to this stir-fry pan: the flat bottom is small, so given the shape of the sides and the long, heavy handle, the pan does not sit flat on a ceramic cooktop. I get around this by just propping it up, but it is a serious flaw, particularly since they explicitly claim it's well suited for ceramic cooktops.
Value? April 13, 2007

I own _both_ the 10" and 12" Calphalon One Infused hard anodized woks and they are PERFECT in every way. They do what they are designed to do and they do it elegantly. Beautiful to look at and they are American made with superb quality.
So what's not to like? The price. If you put the 10" and the 12" side by side, the 12" is quite a bit bigger...but it is not more than three times bigger!!! Yet that is the difference in price with the smaller priced at $50 and the larger at $160. Either the 10" is under-priced at $50 or the 12" is grossly priced at $160.
The $50 price for the 10" is the same everywhere and I happened to buy it locally on for the convenience of it. I was unwilling to pay the $160 price for the larger one and happened to luck out at a certain auction site where I was able to buy the 12" boxed and brand new for about half of what Amazon was asking, shipping included.
In my opinion, the 10" is priced right. At $160, the price for the 12" isn't.
