This pan now has one function, to uselessly take up cabinet space. Food sticks so badly that it becomes unpresentable. Cleaning it takes all night. The cooking surface doesn't seem to add any real benefit. One reviewer wrote that the pan works better if you don't clean it, though many Calphalon users display their pans when not in use and prefer not to have to have caked-on nastiness just to be able to use their cookware. I would avoid this at all costs!
