The kettle that could! Aroma AWK-115S Hot H20 X-Press 1-1/2-Liter Cordless Water Kettle I immediately loved this electric kettle. I just set up my office, and it was the first, and most important appliance. Boils quickly, easy to see water level, looks good, small footprint. I will probably be getting one for home, too.

POSTED AT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 03, 2010 505 COMMENTS COMPARISON :--CALPHALON - Vs.- ANOLON --10 inch Crepe Pan Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan 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.
