Customer Reviews of Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 8-Inch Omelet Pan, Chili Red
Customer Rating:   Summary: mixed results Comment: We purchased this pan as a green alternative to our conventional 8" non-stick pan. We liked the idea of a cooking surface that was chemical free and we liked the look of this particular piece. Additionally, we were pleased that it was made in Germany and not China. After about a month of use I can report mixed results. The pan works best using low or low medium heat. Anything higher and there is a tendency to decrease any non-stick ability the enamel surface possesses. With some foods, or in a slow reheat of already cooked foods, the pan is excellent. With other foods, frying an egg for instance, the pan has a tendency to stick even when using oil. Clean up has been easy regardless of how the pan performed while cooking. Chantal has the look and feel of quality and is a welcome addition to our kitchen even with it's limited non-stick performance. Customer Rating: Summary: Enamel on steel but Excalibur non-stick inside? Comment: I may be wrong, but from Chantal's website the enamel-on-steel interior is Excalibur so that's not enamel inside and in fact Excalibur is similar to teflon if I'm not mistaken. I hope Amazon clears this up soon. Customer Rating: Summary: Slick! Comment: I am in love with this pan. I ordered the 8 inch omelette pan as a test-run with the idea of possibly purchasing an entire set of this cookware. I am looking to replace a set of Calphalon stainless cookware, which I hate because EVERYTHING sticks to it. I want to avoid Teflon, because I have a pet bird, and Teflon is very very bad for birds, and honestly, if cookware can kill my bird, it can't be that great for me either, regardless of the assurances that DuPont tries to give. I thought I would give this a whirl. I tested it out with eggs, as they are one of my biggest challenges with the stainless - half of the eggs stay in the pan, and even with my one remaining teflon pan eggs can still stick. They don't stick to this pan. Water doesn't even stick to this pan, it runs right off and leaves a couple of beads behind. So I scrambled up some eggs, gave the pan a spritz of olive oil spray and about a teaspoon of butter. The eggs came out smooth and tasty leaving only a slight residue around the pan at the level the liquified eggs filled it to. I let the pan cool before washing it (to avoid thermal shock.) A tiny bit of dish-soap, a swipe with a dobie pad and no trace of the eggs remained. I gave it a quick scrub and it wound up clean as a whistle. That is how it has been every time I use this pan. Chantal says that it is dishwasher safe, but I have yet to put it in the dishwasher - I haven't needed to, it is that easy to clean. The pan is also quite substantial, it isn't as heavy as cast-iron, but it does have some heft to it. If you hit someone over the head with it might not knock them out like cast-iron, but it would certainly throw them for a loop, so you know, I wouldn't recommend it. It also probably would void the warranty, which is for the lifetime of the original owner. Nice. Now I just need to save up the cash for the 10 piece set, because I am sold on this cookware. Customer Rating: Summary: Great product! Comment: I do not cook very often and I misplaced my skillet used for cooking eggs and onions. I purchased the Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 8 Inch Omelette Pan and it cooks very well and clean up is a breeze. I am very impressed with this product. When I do need to cook the Chantal Enamel-On-Steel 8 Inch Omelette Pan is one of the first things I grab. More Reviews Chantal's Enamel-On-Steel 8-in. Omelette Pan in Chili Red performs beautifully. It is the perfect blend of beauty, function, versatility and high quality. Healthy non-porous surface won't react with foods or flavors. The long stainless handle with a patented air pocket stays cool during stovetop cooking. 
Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 8-Inch Omelet Pan, Chili Red
Kitchen tips -> Lettuce Dry lettuce and other salad greens before adding dressing by tossing a couple of paper towels with the greens in a large bowl. Once the towels have picked up the excess moisture, pull them out and throw them away |
