The handles are very comfortable. They are heavy but not so much that they are hard to lift when full of food. I like the measurements in the pots and the strainers in the lids. Also, I like that there is a pour spout on the smaller pots. I am very happy with my purchase.
I bought this set a month ago, I like the set cuz have all types of pots. they are very hard to clean them and when u are done they still have stains and they get burn very quick.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for the review and feedback that you have provided.
Someone from our consumer care team will be in touch with you to check on the matter about the cookware.
I bought this about a month ago to add to a few stainless steel pans I already owned. I’ve been using stainless steel for years with no issues but this set not only shows discoloration after only a month of use but most food sticks. Waste of money.

Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that you have experienced with your Calphalon Classic Stainless Steel 10-Pc. Cookware Set. Stainless steel requires oil or butter to prevent the food from sticking to the pan as it doesn't have a nonstick coating. Regarding the discoloration, you should be able to restore the stainless steel by washing the pan with Bar Keepers Friend cleanser and a nylon sponge or soft bristle brush. Our Consumer Care team will reach out to you by email to provide assistance.
Wish I had read these reviews before replacing my 45 y.o. faberware set. My old set after 45 years looked better then my barely used 6 month set. Thought calphalon were the best pans around. Sadly disappointed i gave away my faberware. Appears calphalon knows thus is an inferior product.

Bought this set less than 3 months ago and have tried everything to keep things from sticking to the pan and the stainless steel has turned a brownish color. Absolutely impossible to cook things on. Very disappointed in this product.
