Buy It

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 Anolon pan.
It's more attractive looking, with its shiny metal handle. The Anolon 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 the Anolon pan.
The non stick coating on this pan was great, either with cooking or cleaning it. Seemed to be slightly 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 a slight angle.
The Anolon pans edges are sloped more 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.

My 4 year old DCC 1200 sufferred from a broken carafe, and we were worried the hot plate was going too because the coffee wasn't very hot. We saw in a recent CR that the DCC1200 is the best, so we just bought a new one from . We got the dark chrome which is very nice and good for avoiding that dirty stainless steel look.

The interior design, where the water resevoir is, is different from our old one. I took it apart as a father-son project (how stuff works). They have improved the model over time, which is always a nice thing to see.

My advice to you is... we were happy enough to buy another one. We are happier with the performance of the new one.

Only complaint we've had is that it shuts off the burner before we're ready... sometimes we want another cup of coffee AFTER 2 hours. If you hear the beep, just flip the on switch again, and your old coffee will stay hot for another 2 hours.

If you see any complaints here about older DCC1200 (3 or more years old) they will not be accurate as far as what you can buy today due to changes.
