The quality I have known in the past from Calphalon just isn't here on this Classic Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set. The edges around the lip of the cookware feel sharp and the finish seems dull, in my opinion. The bottom of all of the cookware isn't seamless like Calphalon products I purchased a year ago. This leaves a channel or groove for oil, grease, and food collect, if not paying attention.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Would not recommend purchasing. The original aesthetic of the pots and pans are nice. The weight of the pots and pans is sufficient, not too heavy or light compared to others. However pots and pans stained and discolored after one use. They burned the food u was cooking and it stuck to the pan

If this remedy still does not work, please let us know. Thank you for being the best part of Calphalon! Have a wonderful day!
Was expecting something a little higher quality. I guess I should have spent the money on the premium version but I was still annoyed at the amount of finishing oil and scuffs on the pans. Plus, I dishwashed them once right out of the package and there was a rust spot on one of the pans. I’ve returned them.

I purchased this new Calphalon set only because my previous Calphalon cookware purchased many years ago wasn't induction-compatible. I chose this particular set because I wanted a set that was as close in design and construction to the older set that I was very satisfied with. I can happily say that this new set did not disappoint. For anyone wanting induction-compatible cookware without breaking the bank, look no further than this set.
