Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I learned how to cook at the tender age of ten, thanks to 4-H Home Economics back in the day. From even back then, the need for quality cookware was drilled into me. I've always had the best I could afford (which, for many years, wasn't much - especially during the negative-income days of the college years) and for a long time that meant having one stainless-steel saute pan and one nonstick saute pan. I'd use the stainless when I wanted to create a lovely browned meat and then deglaze the pan with wine or broth. The nonstick pan got pulled out when I was making something more delicate, such as a fish fillet.
This year, my ten-year-old nonstick saute bit the dust. I noted the coating starting to bubble a bit, and I wasn't willing to risk using it any longer. I began my search for a replacement and was led to the Calphalon Unison line. After much research and hemming and hawing, I decided to go with the reasonably-priced 3-qt. saute - the exact size match to my old pan would have been the 4-qt, but I wasn't quite ready to shell out over $200 for a pan yet untried. Now, of course, I wish I had sprung for the slightly larger size.
In short, not only has this pan replaced my trashed nonstick, I have no problem using it in place of my traditional tri-ply stainless much of the time.
It browns meats, but releases foods (and mess!) easily. It goes in the oven. It goes in the dishwasher. The handle is sturdy. There's a helper handle (one reason I vetoed a similar pan during my search) for when you need the extra stability. For dinner tonight, I seared a pork tenderloin on all sides and then put it in the oven to finish. After a quick rinse, the pan went into the dishwasher. Is it any wonder this is my new favorite pan?
