Customer Reviews

Great non-stick
I bought these pans to replace the plethora of misc pots and pans I've collected over the years. They are a great value. These pans are in the price range of your typical Costco Farberware or T-Fal set, but are far superior. They heat evenly and fast and the nonstick is the best I've ever used. And although they're heavier than your typical budget cookware, they are not as heavy as, say, Calphalon One. Also, the handles on the lids and the pans stay nice and cool (unlike the Calphalon One pieces I had). They have a 10-year warranty which is enough. In 10 years we'll all be using some kind of reverse-engineered alien technology to cook with anyway.I also went out and bought a set of Calphalon nylon utensils to go with these pans and they are a match made in heaven.

One word of advice. As per the Calphalon instructions (and I never knew this), DO NOT use non-stick spray like PAM with your pans. The propellant in the spray will ruin the nonstick finish. This is easily the culprit that ruined all of my other sets (inlcuding my Calphalon One pans). They also won't honor the warranty if you use it. Use an olive oil mister or a little butter instead.

Great set but...
Great set but the info says 2 & 4 Quart Covered Sauce Pans but you actually get a 1 & 2 quart covered sauce pans. Not much you can do with a 1 quart. 4 would have been perfect. But for this price still a great deal.

Inconsistent Quality
After only 2 months of light use the large stockpot's Teflon coating is bubbling and coming loose. Not useable. I had always respected Calphalon - until now.
