I bought this item to replace an aging skillet. The old one used to be nonstick but has become scratched over the years. I bought the Calphalon to replace it and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. Deep enough to make a good quantity of pasta sauce, but with sides that slope somewhat, making pouring easier. So far nothing has stuck to it. I've cooked meat, sauce, even eggs and dishes containing cheese. No sticking, no issues at all. Washes out easily in the sink. Heed the warnings that come with this pan. Don't wash it in your dishwasher. You may use soft plastic or high temperature rubber or even wooden utensils in this pan. Avoid metal, since it can scratch the nonstick surface off. Absolutely awesome pan, I highly recommend it!

Wish I bought this item from Amazon, now I'll have to pay for shipping to get it returned. We primarily used it for eggs and quesadillas (not high temperatures) and the pan sunk in the middle somehow...it doesn't sit flat against my glass cooktop and therefore doesn't heat evenly. I had the same problem that I had with my $25 discount store pans!
Best Deals for Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 13-Inch Deep Skillet
I needed a large volume skillet to cook fried rice in. The recipe I use doesn't fit in a T-Fal 12", and it barely fits in a Lodge 12" cast-iron skillet (plus the rice sticks to the Lodge). This skillet is a great size because it has a large flat bottom for cooking, and sides high enough to prevent flinging rice everywhere when stirring. The bottom cooking surface is smooth all the way out to where it smoothly curves up to meet the sides. Other skillets I have investigated recently include All-Clad, all of which seem to have a domed center, and T-Fal, all of which seem to have a channel that runs around the edge of bottom, where the bottom drops slightly before curving up to meet the sides. Both of these conditions result in the cooking liquid (oil or broth) running away from the center of the pan and pooling around the edges. That is not a problem with this skillet.
Honest reviews on Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 13-Inch Deep Skillet
Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 13-Inch Deep SkilletThe pan was larger than expected but I love it. I have used it to make stir fry chicken & vegetables and a pasta dish. I has lots of room to cook and I can make a large dish in it and make enough for two meals for the 2 of us or enough for company. And I love the two cool handles, make it easy to pick up.

This is the best frypan I have ever owned: definitely worth the purchase price. The extra space in a 13" pan is great for big batches of sauted foods.
