boils water like magic. great for french press coffee, instant oatmeal, tea, instant noodle soups, etc. so fast! looks good and well made.

The coffee grinder is excellent. It works well, but as all grinders, it is loud. The shipping was incredible - I ordered on Wendnesday and it was at my home on Friday morning. The service is terrific and I recommend this grinder.

I have tried several types of sharperners and this is by far the best I have ever used. It is very easy to use and will give your knife a very sharp edge.

The toaster over was just what I needed. It fits right in the space on my counter. It took me a while to learn how to use it properly, but other than that it is great.

I thought I was done with using cast iron as I had
trouble with sticking and burning. Was very pleased that
the Logic did neither. It is definitely a keeper
and maybe buy a second one.

First let me say I just replaced my Anolon Classic 10-Inch Crepe Pan of 3 years with this pan. In that time I found the Anolon pan to be excellent, the only reason I decided to switch was because after 3 years the non stick finish inside the pan was starting to blister and peel off. I felt the finish should have lasted much longer than that.

My first impression of the CALPHALON Pan was, it looks and feels quite a bit heavier than my old pan.
It's more attractive looking, with its shiny metal handle. The old pan had a black plastic handle.
It's larger than the Anolon pan. CALPHALON 10in total across, 8 1/4in inside, Anolon 9 5/8in across, 7 3/4in inside.
The slightly larger size of this pan is a nice plus, since I always thought the Anolon pan was a bit small.
To my surprise this heavier pan heated up quickly on my ceramic glass top stove, but the Anolon pan did so in less time.
The heat distribution was good, as it was on my old pan.
The non stick coating on this pan was great, either with cooking or cleaning it. Seemed to be better than the Anolon pan.

This CALPHALON Pan is probably better for all around cooking since the pan is deeper and the outer edges are not as sloped as the Anolon pan. This pan will hold some liquid without spilling if you lift the pan on an angle.
The Anolon pans edges are sloped and not as deep as this pan, probably better for crepes and pancakes if you want to just slide them out.


The only negative I have so far is the handle does not feel right. It's to narrow for the weight of this pan, particularly if there is food in it. I get the feeling it is going to tip left or right since it is hard to get a secure grip on this narrow handle. I left the 5 stars for now since it was not that important to me since I rarely lift the pan when cooking. I did not have this problem with my old Anolon pan, it had an extremely comfortable handle.

All and all this seems to be an excellent pan so far, I'll add to this post if anything changes.

After you hopefully give me a thumbs up on this review, check out my photo on customer images on the product page. Thanx.

Two stage knife sharpener from Victorinox for super sharp, polished edges. Draw dull knife through the coarse "tan" stones several times to bring the original edge back and then draw the sharp blade through the fine "white" stones to polish the edge for long-lasting sharpness. The stones guide the blade to a perfect angle every time and sharpen both sides of the blade simultaneously.
