Calphalon® Premier Ceramic Nonstick 12" Frying Pan with Lid, Mushroom Grey

After extensive research on different ceramic frying pans, I was feeling at a loss, as each one seemed to be false advertising, short lived, or ridiculously expensive. Then I found the Calphalon Premier pan. From the information on the company’s website and other customer reviews, it appeared that this pan was the best I’ve seen. And at $65, it would be well worthwhile, plus it is oven safe as well. So I ordered it, only to find that the box was punctured (likely due to a forklift) and the pan was bent out of shape. I promptly requested a return authorization and ordered another. The second pan arrived in perfect condition. Right away I knew that this was a quality item - heavy pan, smooth coating, fully closed cast handles, sturdy glass lid with precise stainless steel trim. So I tested it with the two foods that stick incredibly well to stainless steel pans - egg whites and tofu, and neither stuck to this ceramic pan at all. Calphalon did not disappoint. I’m thoroughly pleased with this purchase.

I love this pan, everything just slides right out of the pan, it is a little heavy but works well.

We’ve used the pan for 7 months. It cooks evenly and is easy to clean. Very durable and versatile.

I bought this 10 months ago (August 2025). About 7 months into using it, I noticed food starting to stick. I am using it to cook some Impossible burgers, and they are sticking like crazy. I added oil to the pan, I only had the heat on medium, and the non-stick is completely failing. I've been really careful cleaning it for these 10 months. As expensive as it was, I expected it to last longer. Really disappointing.

I am in love with this pan. Purchased this pan 4 months ago and use several times a week. I have one Calphalon pan that I have used for 15 years and loved it. That is what led me to purchase this pan when I needed to replace an old Teflon coated pan. I have had no issues with food sticking or the coating scratching/coming off. I have noticed that I need to reduce the heat while cooking with this pan. This pan holds and distributes the heat very well. I still only use silicone or wood implements when using the pan. Clean up is a breeze. I am very happy with my purchase.

Love! This skillet is not too heavy, has a large cooking surface (whereas many skillets sloped sides leave much less surface area), heat distribution very good. I looked at many skillets and chose this one for the weight, balance, quality, & included lid - IMO this is the best skillet! UPDATE: I only hand wash and don’t cook at high heat, however the inside bottom of the started to get a bit of haze and was not as slick or easy to clean. I was able clean off with a paste of vinegar and baking soda cleaned it perfectly.

This is a high quality frying pan, I have owned Calphalon products before and never been disappointed. This pan has seen a lot of use now and the blue color is still bright and vibrant without any staining. The pan is thick and distributes heat evenly across the surface. I would give 10 stars if I could!!

I bought this in February 2026, and I love it. No wear showing at all, nothing sticks!!! Ionly hand wash and towel dry.

It's new so I don't know how resilient it'll be, but so far it's the best I've ever owned
