User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a lid option? I would like to use it for bacon and keep the greese from going all over the stove
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. The Calphalon Premier™ Space Saving Hard Anodized Nonstick 5 Qt. Saute Pan is NOT compatible with induction stove tops, as it is made of aluminum. This cookware is intended for use on gas, electric, electric coil, halogen and glass cook tops. Cookware made from iron, such as our Enamel Cast Iron cookware, contains a ferrous material, and therefore is suitable for induction stove tops; however, aluminum, copper and glass cookware is NOT suitable. To determine if your cookware is induction capable, look for the induction icon on the bottom of your pan, which looks like a coil or spring.
Question:	how high are the ridges on the pan
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. Correct! The 5qt Premier Space Saving Saute and Sautese pan have the same dimensions and features, the only difference is the handle.
Question:	Is this safe on induction stove tops
Answer:	Yes, very nice
Question:	What is the difference between this and the cheaper one that looks identical
Answer:	We greatly appreciate your interest in our products. Both the Calphalon Premier Space Saving Nonstick 5-Qt. Saute Pan With Cover and the Calphalon Premier Space Saving Nonstick 12-In. Fry Pan With Cover have 12-inch diameters and can stack with other 12-inch diameter products. The 5-Qt. Saute Pan can hold up to 2.8 quarts while the 12-In. Fry Pan has a capacity of 2.4 quarts.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan

Featuring a ridged surface that adds authentic grill marks to your food and helps drain fat while cooking, the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan is a stylish and durable solution for stovetop grilling and searing. Ideal for chicken breasts, hamburgers, sandwiches, and vegetables, this nonstick square grill pan is made of heavy-gauge, hard-anodized aluminum construction that ensures even heating, while a multi-layer nonstick surface offers exceptional durability and easy cleanup. And unlike most hard-anodized cookware, this grill pan is dishwasher-safe. The Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan is oven safe to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and backed by a full lifetime warranty.

Ideal for Grilling and Low-Fat Cooking

The Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan’s ridged surface sears authentic grill marks onto your food and helps drain fat as you cook, making it a great choice for grilling bratwurst, fish, eggplant, steaks, and more. Its square shape fits easily on a burner while maximizing cooking area and it is oven safe so you can use it to sear foods on the stovetop and finish them in the oven.

Hard-Anodized Aluminum for Even Heating

This heavy-gauge grill pan is made of hard-anodized aluminum that offers consistent heat distribution, making it ideal for searing, grilling, and more. A long, double-riveted stainless steel handle makes handling easy and stays cool while you’re cooking on the stovetop.

Multi-Layer Nonstick Surface

Thanks to a durable triple-layer, PFOA-free nonstick surface, the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan lets you cook confidently without worrying that food will stick to the pan. The nonstick surface also allows you to use less oil or butter for healthy, low-fat cooking.

How to Cook with Nonstick

- Never use cooking spray. Aerosol cooking spray leaves a gummy residue that is difficult to remove, and that residue will cause food to stick. Instead, use an oil mister filled with olive or vegetable oil, or dab a bit of oil on a paper towel and carefully wipe the interior of the pan.

- Use the correct heat setting. Use low heat for warming, simmering and preparing sauces; use medium heat for frying, grilling, sauteing, searing or stir-frying; use high heat for boiling or reducing liquids.

- Preheat the pan. Nonstick cookware can take a minute or two longer to preheat compared to aluminum or stainless steel cookware. For best results, make sure your nonstick pan is heated to the proper temperature before adding food.

User questions & answers

Question:	What material is used in the nonstick coating
Answer:	I believe it comes with a 6 month warranty vs 12 month for new.
Question:	Can these be used on an Induction range
Answer:	KitchenAid has service centers in multiple places in the USA and Canada, but only one location if you live outside the USA and Canada. That place is in Mexico and Uthat is were I suspect it is made. I gave the processor as a gift, so I can't just flip it over and check.
Question:	Can these go in the dishwasher
Answer:	I would think so, can't speak to the wear and tear it might have on the motor I would suspect it still very similar to the kitchenaid blender motor however. We have used ours to do some pretty tough things.
Question:	Has anyone noticed the lids holding any water
Answer:	The package says "made with organic chicken from the USA" I have a little schnauzer with digestion problems who loves them and has no problem digesting them. They are a little expensive for my budget, but Buddy is family and I make sure there is money to buy him a box every month.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick cookware is created with multi-layer nonstick for ultra-durability. The interior includes three layers of nonstick coating – two layers provide durability and the third layer offers easy release performance.

Heavy-gauge aluminum construction ensures even heating and is hard-anodized for durability. It also makes it dishwasher-safe.

The long, brushed stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop. Pans and covers are also oven safe, making it ideal for finishing a gourmet dish.

Durable, Hard-Anodized Aluminum Construction

Simply Calphalon is constructed to meet Calphalon's strict standards for performance and durability, crafted from a disc of virtually pure, medium-gauge, hard-anodized aluminum for even heating.

In 1968, Calphalon created the original hard-anodized aluminum cookware, an innovation immediately embraced by the professional culinary community and later by home cooks seeking commercial performance.

Hard-anodized aluminum cookware is exceptionally durable. In fact, it is over 80% harder than stainless steel, making it tough enough to stand up to the rigors of a busy kitchen. It is safe for use in both the oven and the broiler.

Durable PFOE-free Nonstick Coating

Contemporary Calphalon Nonstick cookware three layers of nonstick coating – two layers provide durability and the third layer offers easy release performance.

Calphalon carefully controls its nonstick coating process to maximize the durability and resilience of the cooking surface. The coating is designed for long-term use when used properly and at the recommended cooking temperatures.

Easy Food Release - Reliable release makes it easy to get the results you want – even with delicate or sticky foods – and it’s a great way to build confidence in the kitchen, too.

Cook With Less Fat - Because foods will 'slide' on the pan surface, you don’t need to add extra butter, fat or oil. It’s a great way to make your favorite recipes a little bit healthier.

Effortless Cleanup - Because most foods will lift from the pan, cleanup is extra quick – in fact, hot, soapy water and a sponge are generally all you need to keep your Calphalon nonstick clean.

Dishwasher-Safe

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware is constructed from heavy-gauge aluminum that makes it dishwasher safe.

Tough Exterior Surface

The rich, elegant exterior color is not a surface coating, but is a result of a change the vessel’s heavy-gauge aluminum undergoes during Calphalon’s renowned hard-anodization process, resulting in fully-infused, dishwasher safe color that won’t chip, crack or peel.

Cast, Brushed, Stay-Cool Stainless Steel Handles

The long, cast stainless steel handles stay comfortably cool, even when the cookware is hot, and have a lightweight, ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to hold pans for extended periods. Handles are double-riveted by hand for durability and stability.

Tempered-Glass Lids

Clear tempered-glass lids let you see food while it's cooking. They are oven safe, so you can finish covered dishes in the oven or keep them warm until you're ready to serve. The domed design returns moisture to food. Wide metal bands strenghten and stabilize the lids.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this on a glass top electric stove
Answer:	Yes you can.
Question:	I just received this griddle; it doesn't seem that the bottom will actually touch my induction cooktop.Will it work if it doesnt touch the surface
Answer:	Works great on our induction cooktop on either side. Heats very rapidly if you want, but of course the way to heat cast iron is slowly so it comes to the temp you want to cook at. Cast iron is of course way better than the clad cookware that can get loud from vibrations as the different layers absorb the magnetic energy at different rates. This also doubles as a great defrosting plate from stuff from the freezer. Your great-great grandchildren will be glad you bought this as they're using it.
Question:	Will this work on glass top
Answer:	According to www.lodgemfg.com, it will work on your glass cooktop. It does say however to not slide the cast iron on the glass top. This link should give you more answers. http://www.lodgemfg.com/useandcare/seasoned-cast-iron
Question:	How well does this griddle work on electric stoves
Answer:	Be careful, cast iron can scratch your glass top stove but it will work on it!

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the size/diameter of the lid for the 1qt sauce pan? I want to know if I can use my lids interchangeably with my other cookwares
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our Calphalon products. The diameter from rim to rim is 5.5 inches and the interior measures 4.47 inches approximately.
Question:	How wide is the inside bottom? (in other words, what is the diameter of the actual cooking surface?) Thanks
Answer:	The bottom of the pan is stamped 12" 30.4cm. In measuring it, it is from rim to rim 12" and the inside flat bottom is 10" wide. For Mother's Day I used the pan to cook a Dutch Baby pancake and it came out great using this pan. I use this pan for everything and clean up is the easiest part.
Question:	lthough it says dishwasher safe, i am skeptical. has anyone washed this pan in a dishwasher regularly? if so, any damage to coating? great price
Answer:	I had a Calphalon contemporary pan, and the non-stick coating is flaking off. I did use it in the dishwasher, but it's supposed to be dishwasher safe. I would expect that the non-stick would flake off this too, but might take longer.
Question:	Where is this pan made
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our products. The 12" Signature Hard Anodized Nonstick Covered Everyday Chef Pan is manufactured in Toledo, Ohio.
