Calphalon 11-Piece Pots and Pans Set, Nonstick Kitchen Cookware with Stay-Cool Handles, Dishwasher and Metal Utensil Safe, Black

I am very particular when it comes to pots and pans. This will be my third set in my lifetime and I am 60. I hope this last as long as the others. My only complaint is the handles do get hot on the stockpots.

I have used Calphalon for years and years. It never disappoints. Great quality at a very good price.

Fantastic set. I wanted something that was truly nonstick and would clean easily. 5stars

Great quality love these

This is a great set of pans. Very heavy duty thick walled, sturdy non-stick coating, and all but 1 pan comes with a lid. The sturdiness and heft of these pans is noticeable. Made quesadillas with no oil or butter and they slid right out of pan with nothing sticking to the bottom, including melted cheese. All of the pans in this 11-piece set are a great size, nothing is tiny like a lot of sets include. I never have a use for a 1 qt saucepan or an 8" fry pan. Even the stockpot is a nice size at 8qt. My only complaint is that the manufacturer does not package the items very well in the box. As many others have commented, pieces come damaged in some form. As expected, the items are all stacked together, but instead of protecting each piece with a piece of foam or thick cardboard, the pans and lids were just inside plastic bags. So, over time the scratch each other. The 2 largest (8qt and 12") have some damage around the rims where pieces rubbed. Nothing is dented or horribly scratched so I am keeping them. Just wish there was better attention to detail so that the pieces arrived in great shape for this kind of money.

We have had these pans for two years, they are the best pans we ever owned

Calphalon claims these pots and pans are metal utensil safe. I never used metal utensils in them, but the non-stick coating comes off. The lids hold water and gunk that then comes out in your food when you're cooking. I contacted support, jumped through 3 days' worth of hoops and returned them. They sent me a set of smaller pots and pans with less lids than I returned. The new lids do exactly the same thing. I would have been better off keeping the original set. For the price this cookware should be flawless! DO NOT BUY!!!

These pans are......AMAZING!! The variety I got are all pots and pans I use frequently. Love having the glass lids so I can see my food inside without having to take the lid off. They do take a little longer to warm up and for the food to begin cooking, but this is because the material they're made of takes that heat and evenly distributes it throughout the pan and then retain steady temperature cooking your food just right. The non-stick surface is so nice to have and unlike any other "non-stick" coated pan I've ever used. I made homemade chili 2 days a go and then we had it for dinners 2 nights in a row. After dinner the first night I just waited for the chili to cool, put the lid on the pot and just put it on the top rack in the fridge so that it'd be quick to grab and throw right back on the stove to warm for dinner that following night. By the end of night 2, all the chili was gone but there was a pretty thick layer of food goop all along the inside of the pan. Imagine my surprise when all it took was hot water from the hand sprayer from the sink to remove every single little bit of that goop. I didn't even have to use soap! I was so shocked I grabbed the sponge and a squirt of soap and bubbled it all up anyway and gave it a little swish swash anyway. Why did I not buy these sooner?!?!
