Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Contemporary Stainless is for home chefs who place as much importance on cookware style as they do on performance. The sleek, modern vessels in this line have curvaceous and smooth flared tulip shapes that create a stunning presence while heating on a stovetop or hanging from a pot rack. The brushed steel exteriors are a beautiful complement to professional stainless-steel appliances and are less likely to show baked-on grease or wear than a polished finish. Gracefully curved stainless-steel handles are comfortable to clutch and stay cool on the stovetop for hours at a time. Glass covers are convenient for watching food cook and have curved handles plus wide-banded stainless-steel rims for durability.

This eight-piece cookware set includes a 1-1/2- and 3-1/2-quart covered saucepan, an 8-quart covered stockpot, and an 8- and 10-inch omelet pan. Each piece boasts triple-layer construction with a stainless-steel exterior bonded over a full aluminum core that extends up the sides as well as through the bottom. The set is safe in the oven and can withstand broiler temperatures as well as the use of metal utensils. However, the tempered-glass lids are oven-safe only to 450 degrees F. All Contemporary Stainless is dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup and covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

From the Manufacturer

As the kitchen becomes the social center of more and more American homes, consumers are focusing greater attention on the details of kitchen design. Now, style-conscious home chefs with a taste for all things modern have a new line of cookware to call their own: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless brings stunning, contemporary design into the home kitchen. Crafted from lustrous, brushed stainless steel and featuring clean lines and curvaceous silhouettes, Calphalon Contemporary Stainless expresses the very soul of modern style. Sweepingly sexy, sculpted handles and subtly domed glass covers lend additional panache to each piece. rice without the fuss. Just add the rice and water, select the menu, and hit the button. That's it.

Professional, Versatile, Comfortable

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless features tri-ply construction--the choice of many professional chefs. A layer of heavy-gauge aluminum, sandwiched between the stainless steel interior and exterior of each pan, provides superb conductivity and even heating throughout the vessel.

Each uniquely shaped Calphalon Contemporary Stainless vessel is designed to accommodate several cooking techniques. Pans are ideal for use on the stovetop, in the oven and even in the broiler. They'll also look fabulous on your table, so you can use them for serving, too. Calphalon Contemporary Stainless makes it easy to keep an eye on what you're cooking. Sparkling glass covers let you monitor a whole stovetop full of pans at a glance. The cookware also features sculpted long handles, which are as comfortable as they are beautiful. Not only do they feel great in your hand, they're designed to stay cool on the stovetop.

Easy Clean-Up

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless is 100% dishwasher safe for effortless clean-up. (That's a feature you'll appreciate at the end of a long evening of entertaining.) You can also hand wash your pans using a dish cloth and hot sudsy water. For occasional polishing, we recommend Bar Keeper's Friend.
