This is my least favorite of the six handles.

Cites handle (against)

Calphalon is a decent skillet, but it's more expensive than Lodge and doesn’t provide any additional benefits.

The Calphalon skillet performed the worst. The egg stuck a little bit, and even after I loosened it up, I had to push it with the spatula to get it to move.

I’ve been using Lodge, Calphalon, and Stargazer for years, and Field and Smithey for several months, and all 6 skillets perform really well.

However, there’s nothing unique about the way it cooks. Calphalon, Stargazer, and other cast iron brands also do a great job searing meat, baking bread, and frying eggs.
