Calphalon Reviews

I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 5, not because this isn't a good product but because Calphalon should include these grips with their pans, rather than forcing us to fork over another bucket of dough so we don't have to burn our hands...Other than that, this works well enough.

If you use Calphalon, this is the ONLY heat handle to use. Slides on smmothly, stays put and keeps your fingers from burning. Highly recommend. Hint: To lift Calphalon lids safely, use wine corks pushed into lid handles. Lift by corks. Like a charm

This Calphalon Small Cool Grip Handle is essential for use with the Calphalon Professional Hard Anodized cookware, such as 7- and 8-Inch Omelet Pans, 1- and 2-Quart Saut� Pans, 1- and 1 1/2-Quart Sauce Pans, and 1-Quart Windsor Pan. I leave my cool grips in place over the handles. Like the Calphalon pans, the cool grips must be hand-washed. If I don't have a cool grip for a Professional Hard Anodized pan, I use the Calphalon suede panhandler or a thick potholder because the chrome plated iron handles on these pans may be hot to the touch.

Calphalon makes great pans! This griddle distributes heat wonderfully. It would be nice if the sides were just a little higher to prevent spills, but they do make it easy to get to anything on the pan.

I purchased this for myself several years ago and liked it so much that I gave it as a wedding gift on two occasions. The brides liked it so much that I make it a standard gift for weddings.
