The 10 inch Calphalon Contemporary nonstick deep skillet is perfect for eggs, frittatas, potatoes and more. Deep sides make it an excellent choice for sautéing.

Positive Features

Both of these skillets are made of hard-anodized aluminum, which distributes heat evenly and quickly. They can both be used in the oven as well as on the stove. While the chef's skillet is not nonstick, it is stick resistant thanks to the sealed anodized surface. The nonstick skillet keeps its interior coating very well through repeated use.

The handles are balanced and designed to stay cool during cooking. The sizes of these two Calphalon skillets are useful for many cooking tasks. The nonstick skillet browns well and cleans easily. It stands up to everyday use without a problem. The price is a good deal on these two skillets, especially when they go on sale.

Considerations

Some people have noted that the handle is so heavy on the chef's skillet that it tilts the pan off the stovetop. The biggest criticism is that some have had more problems with food sticking than they thought they should be experiencing with the chef's skillet.

The pans can be heavy for some people, but the handle helps balance the weight of a full skillet. The depth of the two skillets also left a little to be desired for some, who were expecting a flatter, shallower skillet.
