Bad finish or damage from warehouse?
By Marie E. Raven
I don't know if these pans were damaged or if they were just poorly finished, but I returned the original and the second set that were sent to me for the same reason. The first set had numerous scratches or dents on the edge of the pan along where the non stick surface finishes onto the anodized back. The 10" pan had the most. The 8" pan had that and a large dent smack in the middle of the cooking surface. The finish looked fine where the dent was, which leads me to believe it may have been like this out of the factory.

The second set I received also had the scratches as the first (one again, more scratching on the 10" than the 8"). The 8" pan this time had discolorations in the finish, which are likely caused by poor application of the finish at the factory.

Overall, I'm not impressed, and certainly not for pans that are "list priced" for 200 dollars. In my opinion, Calphalon should package these better in the first place. 1/3 of the pan isn't protected by the packaging at all. Not good when you're dealing with non sticks, where once the finish is damaged, you really shouldn't continue their use.

I can flip pancakes with just a fingernail in these GORGEOUS Non-Stick pans
By rejuvenationmd
This Calphalon Unison Nonstick 8-Inch and 10-Inch Omelette Pan Set just arrived well packaged and in great condition from Amazon. I just wanted to show you on video what it looks like out of the box in case you are interested in how it is packaged which is perfectly! As you can tell from the video, they are GORGEOUS!

I was looking to purchase a new healthy pan to replace my Saladmaster 10" electric skillet that we use to cook silver dollar pancakes twice weekly. About two years ago we purchased an ultra-expensive titanium Saladmaster oil core electric skillet which over time has turned into you have to put tons of oil to be able to flip the pancakes; it is almost like you have to deep fat fry them now although it worked great at first. I first selected the The 10" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri, with Textured Ceramic Non-Stick Coating (100% PTFE and PFOA Free) to try. We made 3 batches of 3 silver dollar pancakes the day after cooking a goat cheese scallion omelet in them; they both flipped ok and cleaned fine HOWEVER afterwards I noticed it had left a strange taste on the food both times; both items cooked in the pan left a strange taste in my mouth as well as made my mouth a little numb. It was similar to the sensations just prior to or just subsequent to your mouth being put to sleep for dental work. I decided it might be healthy for environment and easy to clean but possibly harmful to eat foods cooked in there!

So then after much research, I selected this Calphalon Unison Nonstick 8-Inch and 10-Inch Omelette Pan Set and I am so glad I did! My pancakes were so easy to flip the first time, I tried flipping them back over with just a fingernail and it worked! VERY NON-STICK. Cleaned up with a mere wipe of wet towel. Fantastic! And the pans left no weird aftertaste on the food or in our mouths nor numbed our mouths so these pans are keepers! They are beautiful and the perfect weight. I use them on a smooth top stove. Thank you Calphalon and Amazon for great healthy pans at a great price!

The only con for this pan set is for our dog who is very disappointed that each pancake comes out perfectly in our new Calphalon Unison Nonstick 8-Inch and 10-Inch Omelette Pan Set and wants to continue to get the pancakes that don't turn our right like she did with the Saladmaster electric pan....

Wonderful, really do slide
By E. Maddox
I bought the set direct from Calphalon before it appeared elsewhere. The finish is wonderful, the food actually does slide from the pans. My warranty says they can be washed in the dishwasher. I like the weight, they seem to be more like the old made-in-USA Calphalon bought years ago and passed on to family as I have cut back in cooking. I needed good omelet pans (you'd be surprised how many eggs seniors eat (smile)) and these more than satisfied me. A cover I already own fits one pan and I have ordered a cover from Calphalon for the other pan. That's because I tend to use these pans for almost everything I cook, stir fries, sautees, sauces, meats, veggies, I just made BubbleNSqueak in the large pan yesterday and needed the cover for that dish to tenderize the cabbage. I recommend this set without hesitation. I am sorry I wasn't able to buy it from Amazon, I am a died in the wool customer of Amazon. I will buy more in the Unison line and it will be from Amazon.
