Is thia a heavy-weight commercial grade pan?

Yes, I ordered the sheet cake pan with a lid. I was very satisfied with the weight of the pan, and have used my many times. It is well worth the money, and far better than the thin ones in stores.

I'm not sure if this is commercial grade, but it's a good quality pan. Ten times better than anything found at Walmart and dollar stores.

The base is, in my opinion - although the plastic lid wouldn't be. Hope it helps - I would not be without mine.

This is a heavy aluminum pan, like a frying pan and it is clearly a Teflon type coating, thicker than silicone coatings.

It is a sturdy aluminum and cleans up fantastically. It is a very nice pan and well worth the money.

I don't know, but I have owned it for about a month and love it. I use stainless for all my cooking having been scared by all the hype of aluminum and Alzheimer's. This pan is a good weight and the two handles make it easy to handle. The dishwasher cleans it well after a cursory scouring with a scratchy pad. I think the manufacturer specs would list the 18/10 issue question answer.

I don't know if they are the same as the commercial grade but they are extremely heavy, maintain their shape in the oven (i.e., don't warp) and are very non-stick. I've used mine for everything from cookies to roasting vegatable with no complaints. They are very, very good pans.

It says "commercial grade" on Amazon page description. I just know that its thick, sturdy, and heavy (not thin and flimsy - better than the Wal-mart nonstick or Wilton nonstick brand--unless you like nonstick :-). I bought the 3-piece set (cake pan, sheet & cover) and they fit perfectly in my Breville Smart toaster oven. Easy to clean too.

It's a great quality pan with even hear dispersion. I would say it's definitelu thicker than most. I know what you mean and it is not one of the thin bottom pans

I don't know. It's not labeled either way. When you ask at the Calphalon website the answer is that all products are made with the highest quality materials and that whether they used 18/10 or not depends upon when it was made. That makes me think that it probably isn't. Overall, it's a great pan-well worth the money. It cooks great, and cleans up easily.

This pan does not appear to be "really thin"; it's actually very similar to what I have seen at World Market, etc. I do not know if a heavier pan might be better because I am a novice when it comes to cooking paella.

yes it is on the heavy side but it's the last pan of that size you will ever need to buy.

It's not "double walled"and I'm not familiar with what is described as "commercial grade stainless steel". But this grill has held up for me, the stainless steel it's made of is pretty thick.

I'm not sure. The pan is not particularly heavy, I'm pretty sure it's made from aluminum and I'm not sure if there's another type of metal in there too. Honestly, I don't have the pan anymore; the coating began to peel from the outside after about 18 months, and I decided to get a stainless steel tramontina, also from Amazon. Cleanup is not quite as quick, but it cooks beautifully. I'm sorry I don't have the answer you need!

I would assume so being cast iron. Pan is really good quality, I would recommend it

Woul not be able to answer that question...metal is very thick and pan is very heavy....

It's very heavy and sturdy and I would think it would be fine in that regard. My concern would be with the non stick coating - isn't there an upper limit for non stick pans?

It is heavy duty so it will hold up well.I have Anolon heavy duty pots and pans and have no complaints.

I packed mine away do to pitting & refusal of company to replace w/o receipt. BUT if I recall properly the top pan was lighter weight than the bottom.Don't know if you would want to use it as a regular pan.It also recommends hand washing.
