I like these pans better than any others I’ve owned before. My mom has this brand while growing up and once I was able to afford a set, I made sure to buy one. I also plan to purchase another set in the future as the skillets would be much appreciated for my kiddos who enjoy pancakes!
Not non stick, food get stuck and takes time to soak and come off. One of them has a weird after color
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Andrea! Thank you for giving your feedback and comments about our Calphalon Classic™ Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set. Our stainless steel cookware is not essentially nonstick. The cookware will release the food if used correctly. First, any food that has been refrigerated needs to be taken out at least 5 -10 minutes before cooking to allow food to warm slightly. Placing cold food in a hot pan will cause it to stick. After the food has warmed slightly, preheat the pan for about a minute to a minute and a half, or until the pan is hot. Once it is hot, lightly coat the pan with butter or oil, and let that heat for a few seconds to one minute. Once the oil reaches the proper temperature, place the food in the pan. Because the pans are stainless steel, we recommend using metal utensils.

Great pans. Love that the handles do not get hot. Pans are the right sizes and have markings for liquids in the pans and steaming holes. I would recommend these pans
We purchased this set a year ago. While they do have a learning curve compared to a nonstick pan, we absolutely love them. They sear meat very well, and make great stirfrys! I'm backing macaroni and cheese in one right now, after making the bechamel based sauce in the same fry pan. The measurements on the sides of the pots are helpful as are the spouts and holes in the lids. My fiancé and I look forward to using these for years to come!
Great product and easy to cook and clean. Recommended to purchase. Once you learn that cooking on Stainless Steel is as easy as allowing the pans to heat up to proper heat before beginning to cook, the rest becomes flawless.
Your products The handle of your product is too hot to pick it up. What products these days wear gloves because the handle is hot
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi MIn. Thank you for review regarding theClassic™ Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set.
At Calphalon, we strive to provide high-quality products that meet the needs and expectations of our customers. We understand that handling hot cookware can be a concern, especially during long cooking sessions, and we have implemented various features and technologies to address this.
Although Calphalon cookware handles are designed to stay comfortably cool during stove top cooking, always use caution when cooking on the stove top, oven or broiler. Short handles, high cooking temperatures, and long cooking times can cause handles to get hot on the stove top, or when used in the oven or broiler.
However, it's important to note that prolonged exposure to high heat can cause the handles to get hot to some extent. This is a common characteristic of most cookware materials. To ensure your safety, we recommend using oven mitts or silicone handle covers when handling hot cookware, especially during long cooking sessions.
We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this set of cookware 25 years ago when I first married and every piece has absolutely stood the test of time. There is a slight learning curve when it comes to cooking with stainless steel, but once you know how, the results are beautiful. My set of cookware is just as gorgeous today as the day I bought it and has helped me raise and provide for my children as they were growing up. Over the years, it has also helped me cook healthy, nutritious meals for friends and family as well as for charity; and now, this set of cookware is helping me to care for my elderly mother. I have to say that this set of cookware is one of my most prized and beloved treasures. Thank you Calphalon for being with me in every stage of my life. Just one thing I want to know...when I go, can I take this with me?
