Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chantal 8-Inch Copper Fusion Fry Pan, PlatinumCustomer Review: great pans but like all cookware has limitations Summary: 5 Stars
I have been cooking with calphalon for the past 25 years, mostly without teflon but some with. I decided to switch to nonreactive and nonteflon cookware and a friend recommended the Chantal Copper Fusion and I love it. I got the big saute pan for my birthday and just got a set of pots for Christmas so lots of my old cookware is going to the goodwill.
As far as eggs sticking, I've found unless you're willing to use teflon an egg is going to stick to a pan. There is one other option for eggs and that is a well seasoned old cast iron skillet. And it has to be an old vintage one, not a new rough one made in China out of old engine blocks melted down or whatever they're making them from. One reviewer complained that a searing a steak in the Chantal didn't work. Get a cast iron skillet for for that too and you will be a happy cook.
I find with the Chantal I don't have to turn the heat up as much. I cooked risotto tonight and it cooked like a dream. Previously I had a small teflon calphalon pot I used but its going to the goodwill.
I find that there are certain types of pots that are better for certain tasks and you can't expect one brand to suit all needs. You need your LeCruiset for your Dutch ovens. You buy your big pots for boiling pasta for $39 at Costco. It doesn't take a $200 pot to boil water.
The Chantal will be my go to pots when I want even heat for sauteing, braising, sauces etc. When I want to fry an egg or sear a steak I'll use my cast iron. I may hang onto one teflon skillet for a while to see if I need it or not before I toss it out.
Other women lust after shoes. I lust after cookware. Well, not really true. I do lust after shoes a little bit.
