Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Flat-Bottom Wok
Customer Review: I like everythng about this pan...
Summary: 4 Stars
...except for the handle. The eye is a bit too small to easily hang it from a pot wrack.
I used believe it was frivolous to pay professional cookware prices for Teflon-based non-stick since the coating wears off no matter the calibre. But this is a great pan at a very reasonable price and Calphalon's multi-layer non-stick should last two or three times longer than a comparable Revereware or Farberware stir-fry, justifying the investment. And trust me, the pressional-weight anodized aluminum base makes a huge difference performance-wise. It heats hotter and more evenly and maintains its temperature even filled with lots of ingredients.
Though its great for stir-frying delicate or stick-prone items like eggs, fish, and rice, I uee it for lots of other preparations. I use it as a general-purpose saute pan. It's great for browning high-fat items like sliced sausages and bacon. However, I use it most of the time for making pasta sauce. Once the sauce is done I toss it with the pasta right in the pan. The wok shape makes tossing and pouring the contents easy. I also found out recently that the round shape makes browning large pieces of meat for braising much easier than a flat bottomed fry pan since it won't tip.
Since the nonstick is Teflon-based, avoid using uncoated metal utensils. You can spend a small fortune on nylon or silicone coated tools that eventually melt or peel, or five or six bucks for wooden or bamboo utensils that will last a couple of decades.
Also, it's not a good idea to heat Telflon-based pans empty. Overheating both damages the surface and supposedly releases toxic gases. Unlike conventional pans which should be pre-heated dry to minimize sticking, pour in a little oil first. In addition to protecting the pan, you also know when the pan is hot enough to stir-fry or saute when the oil just starts smoking.
Description of Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Flat-Bottom Wok
From the comfortably arched handles to the stylish flared silhouettes, the Calphalon Contemporary line is designed to please. Looks aren't everything however, and this cookware line is not simply another pretty face! No indeed, this collection is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, reknowned for its fast and even heating, and it's lined with durable non-stick for easy clean up and low fat cooking. If you love stir frying and are looking to decrease your consumption of fats, this non-stick wok will make it possible. You'll get fast heat and easy clean up with this piece.The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while offering the high-quality construction associated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, attractive look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or special occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalon's original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line--but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also convenient is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them.
This 12-inch flat-bottom wok is an excellent example of the Contemporary Nonstick line's versatility as it cooks classic Chinese stir-fry dishes, such as Hunan Lamb, and is equally as useful for cooking soups or pan-frying fish up the sides. The pan's exterior is made of hard-anodized aluminum for superior heat distribution. The interior is coated with a nonstick surface that is resistant to peeling, chipping, flaking, or cracking. This pan has one long ergonomic brushed stainless-steel handle and one loop handle--both of which stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the wok for durability. All Contemporary Nonstick cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
