CALPHALON CALPHALON/M-2078254

Used all the time for two years now and have two of these and a third in storage. Gave two as Christmas presents because so impressed. Almost as good a BBQ grill and same or better than cast iron pans, except so easy to clean compared to cast iron. Does not require high heat which is how I ruined two slide unison pans; the handles do get hot. Have all but one unison pan and all are great. Use lowest heat to hear sizzle and wash well with soap. Writing this review after just reading the 3,2 and 1 star reviews. IMO most are not for the 12 inch calphalon unison sear everyday pan. Albeit thinner than other unison pan it is much thicker than most and does not warp if cool before washing (when cool soak in soap and water for ten minutes for even easier cleaning). Several reviews said warped on their glass cooktop, which would be hard to do since not magnetic, which is required to heat up. Again, must not be for the 12" calphalon unison everyday Sear pan. Unison has been discontinued and hard to find; most prices are outrages. Current Amazon price at this writing is $59, as much as $100 below all others on the web. Treat this pan and all Unison with care and IMO will last a lifetime. Hard to believe the non-stick coating would come off. Took my ruined pans and scrubbed with a green scrubber trying to remove the carbon coating created by high heat and not cleaning well. After removal of some of the carbon the non-stick coating was in place; could not remove enough and non-stick quality was not good so trashed.
