Classic Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set
Product Details
Web ID: 1610321Definitely non stick but otherwise lacking
I bought the 10 piece set and the 12 in frying pan separately 2 1/2 years ago. I did tons of research and chose Calphalon because of their reputation. We cook with them 8-10 times per week at most for a family of 4. We have an electric glass top stove. I have never cooked with the pans on high heat, and they have only ever been hand washed. I noticed around the year mark, I began to have some issues with the set. The bottoms and sides of the pans had a lot of dark char marks on them. I have tried to clean them as suggested on the website but did not have much success. That is cosmetic, so I didn't let it bother me. The bolts on the inside of the pan are hard to clean and food tends to get stuck on them and around the little crevices. The most bothersome problem is my pans seem to be warping. They no longer sit level on the stove, which means they don't cook as evenly as they did originally. I like that they are non stick, and some of the features like the built in strainer on the pot lids are great. But as far as a forever investment set of pans, I don't think these live up to that reputation. I also purchased a set of knives, and my experience with them has been Ok at best as well.

Always impressed by Calphalon
I was introduced to Calphalon many years ago when my inlaws had the pots and pans and i quickly became a fan of them. I love how durable they are and how cleaning is such a breeze. I love this set, nothing sticks, nothing burns to the pan and they really hold up to heat/flames and look great after every use. The larger fry pan is great for making pancakes too, easy flips and perfect crispy edges. I love this set because it allows you to have a matching set of pots and pans for all of your cooking needs. From grilling meet, to making rice and the large stock pot is perfect for soups or pastas. This set is perfect for families of all sizes. While I received this product for free, the opinions and thoughts included in this review are my own.

Amazing cookware set for families who love to cook
The 12 piece cookware set is PERFECT for a family who loves to cook must-pot meals. If you're making a spaghetti, meatball, and homemade sauce dinner, these pots will be exactly what you need. They clean easy, come with their own tops for each size pan, and heat up so fast. Calphalon has been my favorite brand of cookware for years - but everything I've always owned was a hand-me-down. I love my 12 piece set! I did receive this product for free, but opinions and thoughts included in this review are my own.

I feel so grown up!
My sister owns Calphalon cookware, so getting the chance to have these as my own is a real treat! I am absolutely in love with the covers that come with the integrated strainers so that I don't have to maneuver extra strainers, and the pour spouts are just plain common sense. I like to make vegetable dishes in bulk so that I have meals pre-made throughout the week and this set gives me so many options when cooking for myself or for larger dinner parties. I'm a big fan of sautéing various vegetables in sauces, and these provide me with confidence that I won't burn anything as I would in my old stainless steel pans. Simple things like pancakes are always not so easy to make in my old stainless steel. The fry pans seem to really provide an even cooking service for me to ensure fluffy success when I've made them. While I received this product for free, this review is honest and reflects my own personal opinion. I'm inspired to finally cook more!

This cookware set performs!
A cook is only as good as their tools and this set just brought me to a whole new level. I upgraded to this set after using the same pots/pans for over five years. It’s amazing what I was missing out on. Now that I have non-stick, I could never go back. What a difference this makes in cooking! I use the fry pans every day to make eggs and my eggs have never been more perfectly cooked! I frequently use the sauce pans to steam vegetables and boil pasta for my kids’ meals and the lids make it so easy to steam, boil, drain and serve. The measuring marks on the inside of the pans make measuring liquid ingredients foolproof. I was worried that clean-up might be challenging for some meals since these are hand wash only and I was used to putting my old set of pans into the dishwasher but after meal clean up has NEVER been easier. I was seriously shocked how easy these are clean. A little a soap and water, minimal scrubbing and voila! They are ready to go again. I received this product for free to facilitate this review but all opinions are my own. This is a fantastic set and will not disappoint!
