It heats evenly and is easy to use/clean.
Second, the bottom and sides meet in a slope, a curve. Most cast iron skillets are sharply angled at that juncture. The curved corner makes foods easier to move around (fried eggs, for example; also scrapple, burgers, steaks, and grilled cheese sammys) or to stir (stews and the like). The curved corner also makes it easier to clean - nothing gets stuck in the angle between bottom and sides.
I've had this skillet for a little over three weeks and it has performed up to my every expectation. It has taken additional seasoning well (the bottom is now almost as slick as Teflon - some of that may be due to using chain mail on it). My only criticism I have is that Calphalon doesn't make 10" and 8" versions of this skillet.
Second, its big. Big enough to cook a couple decent sized steaks and can probably fit 4 burgers.
It would be a 5-star (to me) if the factory-supplied seasoning had been a bit better. I actually feel guilty about knocking an entire star off...
Before I even used it, i had got a couple drops of water on it and it had some surface rust where the water was left (nothing severe, not worth changing the decision to purchase in my opinion).
Fortunately I'm somewhat experienced using iron skillets so applying my own seasoning is not a problem (I just cooked some bacon on it and that seemed to solve the problem) but it was a mild inconvenience for my first meal of leaner t-bones.
Other than that the construction is solid, doesn't seem to have any hotspots, didn't warp or bend when I heated it to smoking on my stove. Seems pretty sturdy.
I did the conditioning 4 times in my oven, doing as they suggested, after baking it for 2 hours, turning off the oven and leaving it in there for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Well, I love fried eggs, and with just a thin coat of oil or Pam, it's as good as any coated pan. I can't express it well, but it's a better 'cook taste' for things like veggies. Yes, it does require a pre-heat, but then I have an electric glasstop cooktop, so I can't be accused of being a gourmet.
For frying eggs, the handle will not be warm enough to require a hotpad to move it off the hot burner after the eggs are done. For things which require longer cooking, a hotpad on the handle is a good idea. If one gets a magnetic hook, one can hang a pad right on the stove, always handy. Between cooking, after it's cooled down, I wipe down with a paper towel. One can clean it by using a dollop of cooking oil as if it were soap, on a paper towel.

La verdad da muchas opciones.
Es muy cómoda porque permite de cocinar en el fuego con muy alta temperatura, para sellar/dorar y después terminar la cocción en el horno. La comida agarra un muy buen sabor.
Lo único es que se tiene que lavar justo cuando se termina de comer. No conviene dejarla allí hasta la mañana siguiente.
Para lavarla, la paso con un cepillo de esos para ropa, si se queda algo pegado algo uso la esponja de metal. Use jabón un par de veces también porque me daba cosa dejarlo así después de cocinar pollo.
Pero cada vez, después de lavarlo, se tiene que secar bien. Cuando seco, aconsejo de pasarlo 1 minuto en el horno, se mete un poquito de aceite y se pasa con papel en todas partes, para que esté listo para usarse la vez siguiente.
La verdad cuando se hace esto de meterle aceite, aconsejo usar un aceite extra virgen de olivo, para que la vez siguiente la comida tenga buen sabor. Use una vez un aceite barato de estos 123 para tratarlo y la vez siguiente la comida supo de taqueria barata, este sabor fuerte y pesado que se te queda entre garganta y nariz. Mejor el aceite Evo para tratarla.
Si la tienen siempre protegida con aceite van a evitar que se oxide. Si la dejan seca, se le va a oxidar muy fácil.

Yes it is heavy but after all it is cast iron and it does have a little grip piece opposite the handle so you can easily use two hands. Should anything stick it's quite easy to clean. Seasoning is also simple. This pan should last a lifetime and a great selling point is it works on all cooking surfaces including Induction and camp fire.
I must admit I've always been keen on Calphalon pans and this one doesn't dissapoint. An excellent buy that provides great results. If your in the market for a pan of similar specs i don't know that you'll find anything else with better bang for buck.
