Editorial Review

Stretching 10 inches in diameter and shaped like a deep bowl, Calphalon's commercial nonstick stir fry pan functions similarly to a wok, but rests evenly on the burner without aid. Perfect for preparing a medley of chopped vegetables and cut meats, this versatile pan transitions comfortably from atop the stove to the oven for warming or re-heating. The excellent heat conductivity of heavy-gauge aluminum results in a rapidly heating pan while its nonstick interior surface requires less oil thus enabling low fat cooking. As with all nonstick surfaces, nylon, wood, or plastic utensils are favored over their metal counterparts. Secured by three rivets, the cast, stainless-steel handle stays cool with regular stove-top use and stretches 7 inches from the body to provide a firm grip for even transport. Washing in warm, sudsy water with a nylon scrub brush brings best results; dishwasher cleaning is not recommended. This item is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and comes with Calphalon's lifetime warranty. Read more

Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch Stir-Fry Pan Review
I've purchased a few of these pans over the years. While I generally prefer cookware from Calphalon's competitor (Company A), this pan is a terrific value.
Calphalon the best
this one is a must have, for a 2 people family, right size, elegant, and as alwayz, Calphalon has the best quality in cookwares, easy to clean. i highly recommand it.

Works great
I decided to purchase this pan based on prior Calphalon experience and the reviews here. I am very pleased with it. I don't find it that heavy, but the extra thickness does spread the heat very evenly. I have mixed feelings in general about the nonstick surface, but this is an instance in which it performs well. ... Read more

Great little pan
This pan is the perfect-sized stir-fry pan for an individual or a couple.The non-stick surface is very easy to clean.The pan itself is quite heavy for its size but I believe the weight is conducive to its efficient cooking ability.As someone mentioned before, the base of the pan is small, which makes the pan somewhat unstable but you can just hold on to the handle as you're cooking.Overall, this ia a great buy, especially considering its low price.

Easy to Clean
This pan is very easy to clean.However, the small base won't sit stably on my gas range.I keep a hand on the handle and pay attention to how it sits on the range to overcome the problem.

A rare feature among hard-anodized cookware, Anolon Titanium isactually dishwasher-safe. However, it offers cooks many advantages longbefore cleanup time.

Their handsome, charcoal-gray exterior is harder than steeland resists scratching and denting. Inside, they're coated withDuPont's exceptionally durable Autograph nonstick that readily releasesfood. Stainless-steel handles have an attractive satin-finish. Thehandles are rounded for comfort, hollow to stay cool on the stovetop,oven-safe to 500 degrees F, and have hanging holes. This 12-inch stir- fry pan has a helper handle and a rounded bottom that's perfect forcooking Asian-style food.Read more

Anolon Titanium 12-Inch Open Stir Fry Pan with Helper Handle
I was actually very upset that I had purchased this pan instead of the 12" Fry Pan.I had trouble getting Amazon to exchange it for what I really wanted.Amazon wouldn't so I ended up purchasing the 12" Fry Pan separately.I love both pans.They are great.I never thought that I would be so pleased with cookware - I mean I rarely get excited about any "thing" - but I love Anolon.It is a little heavy, but it cooks things quickly, evenly, and with NO sticking.Then, the clean up is a swipe of a sponge.Wow.
Great product!
This is done a great job so far in cooking.Cooks thorough, evenly and has a nonstick surface. Very durable, thick, strong construction.The only problem I had with this was that it is a bit too heavy to handle easily.Especially when washing. But that's what you get for durability and strength.

Not a true non-stick
This pan, does work nicely-yet cleans up horribly.It doesnt have a quick release on the food you are stir-frying or searing.I would have spent the $$ on a nice straight up anodized pan. ... Read more

Great!!!
I just got it today and can't wait to cook something in it. It is very good looking, larger than I expected and very deep. I will be cooking everything in it from now on.

$15 for this pan? Anytime.
Well, maybe I wouldn't pay $15 anytime someone offered me a pan, but the $15 I paid for this pan was more than worth it. The pan is excellent for stir-frying, as well as many other things - I've used it to boil water, melt chocolate, make pancakes (one at a time though), etc...
Great Addition to the Kitchen
I use this pan every day. Its deep enough for stir fry's and stews.Great buy for the price. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This 14-inch wok is crucial for stir-frying classic Chinese dishes, such as beef with asparagus. However, it also is great for steaming, braising, saut;eacute;ing, and stewing and can easily become the most used cookware in the kitchen. This Circulon 2 wok is made of heavy-gauge hard-anodized aluminum, which heats foods evenly without hot spots and stands up to constant use at high temperatures. An advanced nonstick coating covers the exterior and interior of the pan to keep food from sticking and staining as with less expensive aluminum woks. The interior also has Circulon’s patented Hi-Low grooves, which expose just a small portion of the nonstick surface to cooking so it outlasts many other nonstick formulas. The polished 18/10 stainless-steel lid is domed for capturing moisture during steaming or braising and forms a tight seal against the wok to trap flavors. The two comfortable handles on the wok’s sides and one on the lid are ergonomically designed of phenolic plastic, which stays cool on the stovetop and is also oven-safe to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This cookware is covered by a lifetime guarantee. Read more

Very high maintenance
I like to steam my veggies and that destroys the seasoning. Very high maintenance wok! Heats up only at the bottom. Rusts easily and evrything I cook turns black beacuse of reacting with the caron steel.

Just like ours in China
I had the same wok for four of the five years that I lived in China.It was made of the same type of carbon steel as this one.When I came back to the USA last year, I looked all around for this kind of wok and was very happy to find it.
very disappointed
I purchased this wok based on other people's review, expectinng it to be a fairly nice product. However, I was very disappointed with it after using it. It's way too heavy for a woman to lift it with a single hand. After just first use, the wok became black and sticky. I should have purchased an ironwok, instead of a carbon steel one. ... Read more

Perfectly designed electric wok.
Wow. What a nice machine. I have used stove-top woks before, even though we have an electric range. They never seemed to work as they should. Even when using a butane countertop burner the results were disappointing. So when I saw this Cuisinart electric wok I was intrigued, not least because it was designed and made by a decent company, which satisfies with its other products. Being a former design and manufacturing engineer I saw the advantage of the high heat output of this elegantly designed wok. When I read other peoples' reviews I just had to try it. My wife gave it to me as a present, and I just love it. It gets to temperature very quickly, maintains that temperature, and has no little "quirks" that I can detect.It excels at browning during stir-frying, probably the toughest test for the heating element. I also love the way it comes apart for cleaning, doing so very quickly and logically. It is very easy to clean (non-stick interior), either in the sink or dishwasher. And I love the stainless steel, it being much easier to maintain. The included steamer rack is large enough for both of us to have a meal. What a winner, and I cannot believe the reasonable price for what one gets.

This wok is worth paying more for...
This wok is easy to use, I like that the pan detaches from the heating unit, making it so easy to clean. Gets really hot so you can have crisp cooked veggies just like the restaurants cook them.

NO NONSTICK FOR WOK COOKING!
You should NOT use nonstick coatings for wok cooking.Wok cooking is extremely high temperature. Nonstick coatings tend to burn away and to "off gas" at wok temperatures. Use hard anodized, plain or stainless steel for wok cooking. Use an oil with a high smoke point. For everyday cooking I use canola or olive oils. I personaly use a blend of oils for Chinese cooking. I use Corn oil (or canola) as the base with a small amount of peanut oil (very high smoke point but has a distinctive flavor which is good for chinese thai etc) and a touch of sesame oil.

very good buy
The non-stick ability of Circulon Total is just amazing... when you wash this wok you would barely have to scrub it.At first I was thrown off by the humongous un-aesthetically pleasing lid, but I bought it anyway at Linens 'n Things (for $60) cuz it was a much cheaper option than Calphalon or Emerilware woks.To my surprise, this wok works great and was definitely worth the money. The huge lid is great for steaming, and if you have the storage space for it, go ahead this item wouldn't disappoint you ... Read more

Wok Assistant
If you own a carbon steel wok, you may as well add this spatula to your cooking tools.It works much better than a long handled metal spoon and is certainly safer than using a standard stainless spatula.Instead of stirring the food around the pan, the spatula helps to toss the food around and get it up on the sides of the wok.It also allows you to scoop out more food than a spoon or regular spatula.I considered purchasing another wok spatula but the handle had an angle that made it appear to be better suited for scooping and flipping burgers on the grill rather than stir frying.Speaking of handles, the one on this spatula may work itself loose after a few uses.If this happens, you will need to bang it against a hard surface to reposition it.I originally gave this 5 stars because I hadn't experienced the handle coming off.I still think it works pretty good but would rather give it 3 stars. ...

Very Puzzled & Disappointed
I purchased this item as a filler. I have two steamers already that are 5+ yrs old. First of all i found this item to be smaller than i expected. Secondly, i washed this item as instructed and left it out to air dry (as i do with my others without any problems), on the second day i noticed some dark blemishes on the underside. These eventually turned into numberous dark spots on the underside on both basket parts of the steamer. I have never experienced this before! They were deep into the bamboo, this item had just been steamed then washed in very hot water and allowed to air dry... i have no idea how this happened? I used one of my others at the same time and it never developed this problem. I returned the item to Amazon.

Works well, but gets grungy easily
This steamer is great for dumplings and vegetables, though its shape makes it difficult to tell how much water is left in the pot you're steaming it over, and the bamboo comes into contact with very hot pans, producing a slight smoky smell sometimes. The more you use it, the more the bamboo will relax with age. My only real problem with this steamer is that it's somewhat small (6" diameter), but I couldn't find a larger one.Read more

With aluminum cores enclosed by stainless-steel layers,Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the best attributes of bothmetals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly acrossthe pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides.

This 10-inch pan is 2-1/2 inches deep and has steeplyrounded sides to facilitate stir-frying. It can also be used forsautéing and can go into the oven for pan-roasting. Its handlestays cool on the stovetop and has a hanging hole, and the pan's rim isflared for dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to a mirrorfinish outside for beauty and wears a satin finish inside to concealinevitable utensil marks. It goes safely into the dishwasher, althoughhand washing better preserves the mirror finish, and carries a lifetimewarranty against defects.Read more

Great Pan
We are replacing all our coated pans.This is a great pan

great wok
It's a great stir fry pan, larger than I expected. The size is perfect for a stir fry dish. Not as sticky as I expected. It's got sticky only when starch is used, but very easy to clean. My husband likes it, too.

A fine pan
I just recieved my pan yesterday and proceeded to make pasta primivara, and like all of my other Calphalon pans it performed wonderfully. No discoloration, and easy cleanup. In fact the Tri Ply line I have found to be extremly easy to clean, I just keep a can if Bar Keepers Friend at the sink if needed. To the individual whose pan looked like a tailpipe. Perhaps the pan was not clean or was overheated. I have several of the pans from this line and I have never experienced that type of discoloration. I have seen the tri ply copper turn strange colors on the outside but never the stainless.Regarding a comment made by one reviewer about hard anodized, it does NOT react with acid foods, that is the reason it is used. Also, regarding professional kitchens, and I have worked in a few, it is almost universal that aluminum pans are used in resturant kitchens, very few use stainless. Aluminum is the next best conductor after copper. And, as such, hard anodized pans conduct heat much better than stainless clad pans, faster and more evenly distributed.

Wok and Roll!!!
I received this yesterday.They are very sturdy and well made.I used one piece to stir fry last night and was very pleased.It also cleaned up easy.I am very impressed with the weight and quality of each piece.This particular set (in a clear plastic box) is treated wood.The price is very much worth what you get.
Why the perfumy odor?
These spoons have a nasty perfumy odor.I have to wonder what smell are they trying to hide with that perfume?For myself, I will return these rather than take a chance.

Not Round Bottom, But Good For A Flat Bottom Wok
Juat a "heads-up" for those of you looking for a nice Round Bottom Wok. This wok is listed as "round bottom", so I ordered one for use on my gas top stove. I specifically wanted a round bottom wok as I not only believe they cook more evenly, but I have a wok ring to use with it. Amazon suggested I buy a wok ring to go with this wok. When it came, it was FLAT BOTTOM! I was so disappointed, but ordered another (which shipped very quickly, thank you Amazon) and the second one was ALSO FLAT BOTTOM! I returned it, too. I am taking a break from the order-and-return cycle, but hope to shop again here with Amazon. I just won't order the Joyce Chen Round Bottom Wok...although the quality looks superb.

Wok this Way!
This is heavy, solid, and BIG. Lightly ridged sides keep food out of the oil. It's sturdy, well-made, generously sized -- this is a real treat to cook with. 6 years tops
I have used this wok for 6 years and now need a new one. The surface deteriorates with constant use over time. We did season properly and followed direction. It does however provide excellent results and it is great for the occassional wok cook. We need something else that won't break down over time. ... Read more
