I'll have you know I carved my own pan with a hammer and chisel out of a piece of wood. AND I LIKED IT.

Got a calphalon set as a wedding gift. I love them.
>>7488486
Price range?
I sell mine
>>7488536
would like to spend under 100.

also would like to add I have an all-clad 14 inch but it's too impractically big. so unless I'm cooking something huge, or a pasta sauce, I don't use it.
bumping for recommendations or confirmation that this pan isn't a hunk of shit.

Are the 778 reviews on amazon not good enough for you?

As an American, this kind of thing concerns me. Others have mentioned that it was made in China. Who knows what corners were cut? Not to mention the lost jobs.
Op I would recommend you get a good old fashion cast iron pan, like your grandmother used. Made in USA right here where I can see it! And if you learn to use it it's more nonstick than that newfangled teflon stuff that all the feminist tumblrinas and their smart phones have to use because they never learned to season.
Or learn to speak Chinese and buy these crap pans that turn all the colors of the gay rainbow flag. Just don't come crying to me when you wake up one day and it's not even the same country anymore.
Trump 2016!

That reviewer is a moron. The colors she's talking about appear on stainless in general. My all-clad pans (very expensive, made in USA) do the exact same thing.
This is what happens when you let morons write reviews.

>very expensive, made in USA
That doesn't rule out the obvious: that they were made in a factory that employs minority laborers as a concession to militant social justice warriors.
There is a reason your grandpa used cast iron. Say no to these newfangled gay rainbow pans.

>That doesn't rule out the obvious: that they were made in a factory that employs minority laborers as a concession to militant social justice warriors.
Fair enough, my point was simply that the "color" thing is perfectly normal (even for a Rah Rah Go Trump Made in the USA Patriot Pan!), and the reviewer is a moron for mentioning it.
Yeah, cast iron is great. I own several CI pans. But you know: different tools for different jobs.

They weren't 20 years ago

I stopped watching after just a few seconds. If that moron thinks that you need an apostrophe to make a world plural then I'm not listening to anything it says.

tard detected.

That handle will probably come loose after a while, it looks a bit flimsy.
Just get a Mineral B pan.
>>7489084
All of the Calphalon products are combined in the review section. All of the different types of pans, pots, etc. Smart ass.
>>7489097
Also this is normal. bar keepers friend will take care of that in 5 minutes.

>Op I would recommend you get a good old fashion cast iron pan
I have a cast iron. I want a stainless for different things.
>>7489097
>rinse pan out once a week with bar keepers friend
>no discoloration

three ply pans combine the conductivity of aluminum and the ease of care and heat retention of stainless steel. The only better you can do is copper pans but those are definitely out of your price range

looks heavy.

*moonwalks into the chatroom, and spins around like michael jackson* Hold up bud, I'm here to stop you from making a horrible mistake. Real cooks like me use cast iron pans, as they are the best. You never need to use pam when you cook in them. And they are THE BEST way to make pizzas, bread, stew, tomato sauce, cookies, pancakes, macaroni and cheese. Don't buy into the Aluminum consortium, cook like my grampy did. My pans have been handed down from generation to generation since the fucking colonial era, so if it's good enough for making scrapple, it's good enough for me. The best part is they're non stick naturally. When the bottom is caked in meat, all you have to do is scrub them with a brush and run them under water. Pic related, it's my current tool of the trade. Well, I gotta go, need to go make some fudge, and ol' reliable needs to be taken out of the stables. *puts on porkpie hat, and instant transmissions out of here*
