Personally, I just adore my Calphalon frying pans and have no plans to swap them with anything else in the future, but I will admit that they are a little bit plain, since they are all black. Black, silver and copper are all common colors for cookware and most chefs don't expect to see color on their stove top unless they are using an enamel-covered piece of cookware, such as a Le Creuset dutch oven. At Target, however, they have started to carry a line of frying pans that have vibrant designs painted on the sides and bases. The pans are made in Italy by Esprit and all measure 10-in. across. They have a nonstick coating on the interior, "stay-cool handles" and are dishwasher safe.
The pans are only $13 each, so you may not want to run out and replace some of your more expensive cookware, but they're certainly appealing to the eye and I can see them working well as a much-used piece of equipment in a college apartment.
