My husband and I bought this cookware set when we first got married & I absolutely love it! It has a nice weight to it & the base & walls are thick, also the lids fit perfectly. It heats evenly & I never have had any problems with food sticking to them. Just make sure you don't use metal utensils with these or they may scratch the coating, and the only thing I don't like about these is that the oustide can get stained if you let a pan boil over or put it on a burner that is not clean (my husband used to put tortillas & bologna on our coil burner & now I have a stain on the bottom of my frying pan) but I'm sure a little barkeeper's will take it out. All in all they're great & I highly recommend them

Calphalon a name that brings to mind heavy duty pans and heavy price tags. Well I sprung for these pans and cannot be more delighted. The pans do not stick at all, I can go from stove to oven with no worries. The pans are heavy also they are not something that is going to let food burns in an instant I get consistant heating in the whole pan. The lids are something to be desired as you they are not glass and you cannot see through them, but oh well. This is a great set and worth every single dollar!

If you have a gas stove, buy the cleaner that Calphalon recommends it will keep you pans looking new!

I've used these for a while and they still hold up pretty well. They say not to put them in the dishwasher but I have and the non-stick is holding up fine. The lids fit nice and tight and the handles don't get too hot - unless you are just taking one of them out of the oven, in that case the handle will be HOT.
All said I definately recommend these cause:
1. There is just the right pans for most situations - who really needs 15 pans?
2. You get good quality for the money.
3. The non-stick is terrific.

At the first glance the set may seem to be of good quality, made of heavy anodized aluminium. However, nonstick coating wears off very fast and pots are made in non-standard sizes(diameters).

The Calphalon cookware arrived in very short order and is a wonderful product; I am 100% satisfied with the way my order was handled and the way it performs when in use.

We have the professional set at home, and I bought the Simply Calphalon for our Apartment in NY. It is excellent quality for the price, and the non stick surface works flawlessly.

That said, do not expect the heft / feel of the professional set.

Every thing the publicity says about this set is true. Beatiful handles, cooks wonderfully.

My only criticism is that the enclosed information is inadequate. For example, we are not told whether we need to use plastic tools with the set.

I was dissapointed with this product. I bought this set in 2002 because of the reasonable price and Calphalon name, and I was initially pleased. Despite using only nylon or wood utensils and a Dobie pad as recommended, the nonstick surface began to wear off after only about 3 years on the 10" omelet pan. I wish I had kept the receipt for the warranty!

I love the product! I sent this set to my sister for a gift and she loves it!
