I mentioned that I did eggs in my stainless (NOT non-stick) - no
problems. Hot pan, drop in some butter, let it melt, drop in the egg
- super easy, and I can just wipe out the pan (although I wash it in
soap and water). I can cook them on high heat or low heat, either
way, they never stick.

I have no clue what's with your Calphalon.
