Commercial Hard-Anodized Omelette Pan (8-in.) by Calphalon

The 8" omelette pan is just what my husband and I wanted. Following the directions of using just a small amount of butter and heating the pan well before placing food in it, we had a perfect omelette. I don't particularly like non-stick pans with coatings because inevitably the coating starts to deteriorate. We have had a Calphalon hard-anodized stir fry pan for over 20 years and love it so we gave this pan a try. Success!

This pan is exactly what I was looking for.

This pan was purchased because an identical one is in use all of the time - we wanted to be able to have two at the same time. The old one was made in China the New one in Toledo Ohio. They appear to be the same. But the old one - probably 10 years old - is far superior. The old one is really non stick and easy clean - does not need oil. The new one sticks to everything even with oil. Number 1388 on the bottom of both pans. We are hoping that over time it will season and improve - but don't know.

Upon unpacking the item I noticed where the coating was missing on the edge of the pan just above where the handle is attached to the pan. I am returning the item for replacement.

after the first use, this omelette pan exceeded my expectations. It's not too heavy but heats and keeps the heat like an iron skillet. Eggs slip right out of the pan with no problem. It is a pleasure to use.<br>
