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

Unlike other non-stick pots and pans which limit stove heat to medium-low, you can use the higher heat. They are solid and seem like normal pans, they retain heat very well, and they are truly non-stick. I often cook chicken or salmon without oil, and the clean up is very easy. No matter what I cook, the clean up is easy. I don't use the dishwasher. I use a sponge and soap and water for quick clean up. . . . However, I wouldn't pay the list price of $480. Wait for them to be on sale. You won't regret it. . . . Also, pots and pans are oven safe to 450⁰, as listed in description, and lids are safe to 400⁰, which is not listed in description.

Very happy, quite the upgrade from the set that I had that lasted 25 years

I've never tried this brand but heard great reviews about it. Love the set, nice heavy sturdy quality! Nothing sticks to it, and heats up evenly. Couple scratches on the bottom of one of the pans but nothing to worry about.

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?!?!

Loved this cookware set when I got it, but at 6 months out, I am questioning the claim that it is "metal-utensil safe, with a durable, 3-layer, hard-anodized aluminum interior." I never cut in it and try to use wood and plastic utensils, but have occasionally stirred things in the pan with a metal spoon or picked things out or flipped things over with a metal fork. I am the only one using them. (both skillets in the set are showing this poor quality) I just don't think they are going to hold up long based on what I am seeing already.

These pans are awesome. Heat distribution is great and nothing sticks to them. All pans are easy to clean when still warm, but note that food will stick to it after it has completely cooled. Not a problem though, a quick soak in the sink wipes everything off easily. I got into the habit of cleaning it a few minutes after taking them off the heat since it's much easier to clean at that time with a soft wipe. I should have upgraded to Calphalon years ago. The handles are stylish and they look good at a distance and while using. Great set.

These were a bit of a splurge purchase after a rough night of cooking using our old pots and pans.. Lets just say we had gotten tired of the lack of even heat and the limitations presented by the rachel ray and paula deen style pots and pans sets. We got these a week or so later and its made cooking fun again. Excellent build quality, great heat retention (they behave very similarly to cast iron in that way) and great nonstick surface as well. Even if they only last 5 years I think the value is there, but I think there will be some decent longer ty to it as well.

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

Calphalon es una excelente marca estadounidense. Conseguí una muy buena batería a muy buen precio.
