Customer Reviews

calphalon contemporary disappointment
I was on my way to purchase a set of All Clad and saw these. The design is gorgeous, the weight is excellent, and Calphalon is an excellent name. I bought the 10 piece set.
I had it for only 10 days and found something very distressing. When you stir the food, what do you do with the spoon? You hit it on the edge of the pan to get off any food. I do this routinely without any problems. To my surprise, the Calphalon's edge dented with every hit. I can only imagine what the edges would look like after a year, given that I'd only had them 10 days and the edges were all beat up. Please, don't get the impression that I'm hard on pots, but the softness of the steel was very disconcerting and was bad enough after 10 days for me to return the set. A $500 set of pots shouldn't dent like these did.

Great Set!!
I had purchased this set after deciding on a Calphalon Tri-ply set. I had done alot of research on the Triply set but after seeing these in store, I wanted them. I love the brushed look plus they are the same triply performance. The handles on this set are twice as thick and much more comfortable. This set did come with less pieces for more money but since I plan on looking at them for along time. I'd rather spend the extra money and get what I wanted. Upon using my pans for the first time, I almost fell over after hand washing them. They had the horrible "rainbowing" effect so many have mentioned. I had preheated them, let the food rest on the counter 10 mins as suggested, Cooked the food at a med. heat, then let the pans cool down. After seeing what had happened I came online and read some reviews on here and thought "Oh No, What did I buy?". I then went to Calphalon's website and right in the FAQ section it addressed this rainbowing and said to use Barkeeper's Friend (which I didnt have) or lemon juice. So I went in a poured a bit of lemon juice in the pan and within no time all colors were gone and they looked as good as new. They have cooked wonderfully. Even heating, much faster than my older nonstick pans. I have been using these for some time now and I love them. They are great. I would recommend them to anyone who likes to cook and is looking for a beautiful, yet effective cookware set.

Great purchase!
Before we received this set, I was concerned since I read the previous reviews after ordering, and some reviewers were concerned about discoloration. The flyers that ship with the product warn against using spray cooking oils, as the propellants may discolor the metal. We have avoided spray oils, used this set heavily for several weeks, and have had no discoloration at all, all pieces cook and clean well. A very complete set that works well on our flat surface electric range. I would recommend without reservation.
