What our customer's say!

"Unexpected low quality", I purchased a Calphalon commercial hard anodized set about 10 years ago. It has held up well even with my habit of dropping lids (yes, the lids do bend if you drop them on edge). Having used baking soda and taken the anodized finish off my 2.5q pot, I looked for a replacement. This set provided a 2.5q shallow pot, as well as the casserole and fry pan I was also looking for. Calphalon does tell you not to use baking soda in the pots. Ok, the shallow pot was not the one I wanted but was accurately described. However, the older set made in Toledo Ohio is constructed of much heavier aluminum. I am disappointed at the significant drop in quality. And, with china having less quality control, I am uncertain these pans will perform well and have the metal alloy content I expect. I will now look to All-clad made in the USA rather than continue to buy Calphalon.

"Terrible Craftsmanship___EVERYTHING STICK TO THESE", Terrible unfinished handles. Did a monkey with a file finish them off? They come in a white blank box with loose cardboard between the pots that have moved all around during shipment. The pots were all damaged and chipped. Dont waste your time with this set. Aweful......Everything sticks and good luck cleaning them..OUCH.

"No good!", I didn't like this cookware set because every type of food stuck to it. I cook curries and fry things but everything stuck to the bottom of these pans, which made cleaning a nightmare. I had to return it and I completely love the new cusinart cookware.

"Excellent cookware for an awesome price!!", I love this cookware. Hard-anodized does cook different than any other cookware, but once you use it and get used to it, you won't want to cook on anything else! I have a set of Calphalon non-stick and stainless that I still occasionally use, but prefer cooking on these.

Yes, you have to use a little oil, and yes, food can "stick" to it, but like everyone else has said, just let it sit and it will release when it is done. I have never had better looking, or tasting, sauteed chicken breasts. They come out golden brown, juicy...cooked to perfection!!

Cleanup is a breeze with these. I tend to clean as I go; letting the pot/pan cool down a little bit, then with some hot water, a little soap, and a sponge, they come clean with very little effort. Even when I have let them sit for a while or have burnt food to them (I almost always scorch rice, no matter what kind of pot I use), I have never had difficulty getting them clean. Yes, non-stick is easier to clean, but non-stick will never cook like these.

"I love them!", I got this set after trying one pan..I have to say I love them!! If the old calphalon was way better I can't imagine!! These are perfect, food does not stick..I have read some folks have a problem with that, but I haven't, just the opposite, I could clean these with a paper towel if I had to.. Even sticky stuff like cheese or stroganoff just washes right out no problem. I will buy more of the same!!

"Calphalon Warranty is Bogus - Buyer Beware", I received a set of Calphalon pots several years ago. The outside surface scratches easily and requires a special cleaner. The pots also got worn away by repeated washings and are not dishwasher safe. Though the company claims to have a 10-year warranty, when I returned the pots due to my dissatisfaction, they didn't provide a store credit or a replacement set. In fact, Calphalon just sent them back to me. Even manager Tony didn't come through. I strongly recommend against this company and their products - their customer service was atrocious and their product is too difficult to maintain for everyday people's use.

"The ONLY way to cook!", No cookware on the market beats classic Caphalon Commercial for overall performance, reliability and maintenance. This was only our second set -- and in fact is more an extension of the first rather than a new one.

The set consists of a 2-1/2-quart covered shallow saucepan; 8-, 10-, and 12-inch open skillets; and 3- and 7-quart covered chef's casseroles -- everything you need to set up a basic serious kitchen.

A few easy to remember directions and the only thing standing in your way of becoming a great cook is your talent in the kitchen; Caphalon has the rest of it covered!

"Calphalon Cookware", This cookware is well worth the money.

I do not like teflon so this works well for our family.

Some people do not know but teflon is very dangerous at high temps. Teflon is very toxic to parrots. If you have birds be very careful when buying cookware.

"A great buy", I bought these when they had a great price drop and am very happy with the set. I use every piece all the time. They are heavy duty, the handles stay cool and they cook evenly. Now, if soneone sees a great deal and jumps in be sure to read the info - these are not non-stick. These are commercial hard-anondized. I know it goes without saying, except it does not. I know too many people who simply don't know anything except Teflon so working with this will be new and unexpected. But for the little additional care or cleaning, (actually not care - but yes on cleaning), is quickly made up for in the even and smooth cooking surface. It is also so nice to work inside a pan and not worry about scratching off or burning off the Teflon coating. No coating to lose means these pans on't need to be replaced every two years.

This will sound strange but the best part for me is the, I will call it, low-profile, handle. The skillets and sauce pans have very comfortable handles that slope slightly down that make working on the stove very easy while using multiple pans. I give this very high marks.

"Third time buyer-love this cookware!!!!!", Well, I suppose it's about time that I review this line of cookware...after all I just bought a third set plus all the extra pieces I could get! I bought the first set for myself almost 2 yrs ago...it was to replace a set of Farberware hard-anodized cookware that had a "lifetime" guarranty....well, after maybe 7 yrs of use, the coating was wearing off & the pans warped on my smooth cooktop, etc...so back they went. They were replaced with odd pieces, not even the same sizes either.
Oh well.
Talking to a co-worker, I learned how much she loved her Calphalon, so I decided to give it a try, buying just a single piece to start....I was sold!!! Bought myself a full set plus several extra pieces, all at great deals from Amazon.com. I also bought the same set & extras for my oldest daughter, a law student & gourmet cook (don't know when she finds the time). She loves hers too...so easy to care for & you don't have to worry about scratching them with metal utensils....Love the way yo can use a scouring sponge to clean them.
I do have a few pieces that are not part of the commercial line & they have the non-stick coating...also very nice, but I use them for different cooking, like eggs, etc. The commercial line is great for general everyday cooking.
Watch the prices tho, as they really do fluctuate...almost bought my first set at $249...then it dropped too $188....bought the second set within days for $176 & Amazon was gracious enough to credit me back the difference. When I saw the price drop recently to $149 I jumped on it & bought set #3 for our younger daughter.....her Christmas gift is in our basement! Just hope we can keep it hidden til then!!
