Great starter set or 'empty nest' change-out
on March 1, 2012

Wanted non-stick because scrubbing is a pain. Only had them a couple of weeks but no complaints so far - they look great, not too heavy & performed well so far. CON: handles are WAY TOO long: in the way on the stove & make storage a problem, whether cabinet or hanging. Larger pans also lack opposing grab-handles which makes them unwieldy to use. Old set was Calphalon commercial anodized so lighter weight greatly appreciated but lack of grab-handles sorely missed.

Simply put the best set of pots and pans I have ever owned. I love them and with all the great features plus a lifetime warranty to boot. If your on the fence about spending the money don't be it's worth it.
Also clean up is a breeze
I would recommend this to a friend!

Practical Set--Would Recommend to Anyone!

I received these off my wedding registry, and am really glad I did. I was using a mismatched set of hand-me-down cookware from college, and needed a refresher. I was unintentionally ruining a lot of food because of sticking, uneven cooking, and the occasional flaking of my "so-called" non-stick coating.
I love that these are dishwasher safe and low-maintenance! I can enjoy my meal after cooking without having to worry about food being caked onto my pots and pans--after leaving them to cool, they are incredibly easy to get clean! They have a good weight to them and are very attractive, so I'm not embarrassed anymore when I cook for company.
I have yet to use these in the oven, but love that option. Sometimes I like to get a good sear in before baking, so this should definitely help me avoid having to transfer food from pan to pan during the cooking process. I would recommend these for anyone looking for a practical set (all of the sizes seem useful!) of low-maintenance cookware.
I also love that Calphalon has a lifetime warranty on their products. I hope to never have to use it, but have heard great things.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Non Stick is Sticking
on January 23, 2017

We received this set for our wedding. It says that they are dishwasher safe, but we did not trust it so we have only handwashed. Food is already sticking in our 12" fry pan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NOT non-stick
on October 23, 2018
Posted by: Emilyglesley
from Arkansas
Gender:Female
We’ve had this set for barely over a year. During that time we have made sure to follow all care instructions to a T. The set has been hand washed, never used with cooking spray, used over mostly medium heat, and only been used with plastic/silicone utensils. We use the pans almost daily and they are nowhere NEAR nonstick now. They were nonstick for about two months and now EVERYTHING sticks unless an immense amount of oil is used. I am so disappointed in these and will not be buying another Calphalon set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
