Seems to scratch a bit easily, even when using non-metal utensils. None of the scratches appear to be actual damage to the pots or pans - there's no peeling or ruined coating as would happen with a cheaper pan. I've had these for a few months and they're holding up great, just marked slightly. Other than that, they're great.

I love the size chooses of this set. All the others have more and larger pieces than I wanted. Quality is great and easy clean up. I am really happy with them. Purchasing on Amazon was easy and I'm totally satisfied.

I bought myself a set of Simply Calphalon several years ago and have never regretted it. In fact, I have added several pieces, along with a couple pieces without nonstick. I always use nylon or wood utinsels and wash by hand (I use Bon Ami as suggested to remove grease and stains)...and never ever use high heat.
The only issue I have is with my omelet pans. Because the bottoms are small and slightly rounded, the weight of the handles cause them not sit flat until fully loaded. And the interior of one is now roughened and tends to stick a bit. My son lived with me for a while and used high heats to cook his breakfasts...fast but hard on nonstick. The skillet he used is now a mess, but the coating is still intact and works fine...just need to add a little oil for some things. And I recommend thorough cleaning, inside and out, after each use to prevent grease build-up.
I am now planning to buy a set for my granddaughter who is in college and loves to cook.

This is my first new set of cookware in 25 years
and I'm delighted with how easy it is to cook with these! Cooking time is faster, and clean-up is a snap! I have started cooking more fresh food because I have this set rather than buying frozen prepared meals. I would recommend this set to anyone!

He cooks with everything Calphalon! So do we. Best cooking pans we have ever had! Try them out, you will be happy you did!

Very nice quality even though this is their value line. Heats evenly and cleans very easily. Glass tops are great to see food cooking.

Flaked surface within 2 months use. Hand washed only. Previous Calphalon from wedding made it 13 years even with a dumb wife that put it in the dI ishwasher. (please don't do that). I baby ALL of my cookware, but this is just dumb...too busy and stupid to return. It looks like I used metal tools to cook on it, I only use Calphalon/Nylon utensils.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister. The delivery was excellent, and the packaging was superb. Since I have not used them, I am sure the pans were terrific, as she had shopped around for them, but couldn't find them to fit her budget. I have not received feed back from her on how they are working out for her, but I do know she was THRILLED to have them. !

This set of cookware made a great wedding gift for friends in Overland Park, KS.
