Customer Review: Passed our crepe test
Very pleased with the appearance of these pans. Bought them in Crate and Barrel, got home eager to test them. Decided the perfect test would be to make crepes in the 10 inch frying pan. After heating the pan, I noticed the immediate formation of exotic colors and starburst design in the copper bottom; visually stunning. After seeding the pan with a thin coat of oil and heating it up to a fairly high temperature, I applied a thin layer of butter just before pouring in mixture. A thin delicate crepe with light brown crispy edges formed almost instantly. To my amazement the crepe broke free from the pan with almost no effort, no sticking. This was the easiest pan I have used to make crepes in 30 years. The handles are somewhat ergonomic, the copper is a delight and the overall design is pleasing. We chose this set over an all-clad set that seemed less ergonomic and we are glad we did.
Customer Review: You'll get what you pay for.
I was excited to get such a beautiful set of copper pans for such a low price, however, I was disappointed. They are lightweight (not much copper), and they don't conduct heat nearly as well as my more expensive copper pan. But what is even more disappointing than the food sticking (especially in the fry pans--I can't make a crepe in these without ripping it) is the horrible yellow color they are turning. While my expensive copper pan has developed a beautiful deep red patina, the Calphalon pans have ugly yellow and brown splotches all over them. I wished I would have just saved my money on the Calphalon set and bought just a couple of well-crafted copper pans instead (Mauviel, Falk, or Bourgeat). I feel like I got cheap copper pans at a cheap price.
