I recently purchased a stainless steel Calphalon Pot Rack. I needed a couple of extra hooks, so I purchased these, since they are made by Calphalon and they look like the stainless steel hooks which came with the rack. Wrong! They look almost the same, but the disappointing part is they are made of aluminum instead of stainless steel. They look terrible on a rack where every component is polished stainless except for these two hooks???

These sturdy hooks lock in place and are quite secure, allowing more pots and utensils to be stored on the rack. The hooks are easily moved from one place on the rack, to another, when the needs present themselves.

These hooks are a great part of the Calphalon system. They lock in place and are very easy to move around, even with pans on them

The Calphalon Racks come with different numbers of hooks. For example, the 12 x 24-inch wall rack comes with 4 hooks. You may need a total of 12 or more single hooks if you want to hang utensils with pots and pans. Also you may want to add some antique or decorative items to your rack. So plan ahead, measure a bit, be creative, and order extra pot rack hooks along with your Calphalon rack.

I purchased the 18x36 oval Calphalon rack from Amazon and have been very pleased with it. Amazon keeps suggesting I purchase additional hooks from Calphalon and I did -- only to discover that they were mis-shaped and didn't fit onto the rack. I am very disappointed in the lack of quality.

I recently installed a wall-mounted Calphalon pot rack, which I like a lot. Unfortunately, the two hooks I just ordered both fail to work properply with the potrack. One is simply too small to fit onto the rack; the other one fits on but is too large, and comes off when removing pans. Additionally, these hooks are either made from a different material and/or finsihed differently from the ones that shipped with pot rack originally.

Calphalon would be better off charging more money for hooks that actually work than continuing to ship these things. Whatever company Calphalon has contracted to make these things is doing a terrible job.

$4.00 a hook is crazy. I bought a ten pack of hooks for a $1.00 at a very large home store which is located world wide. That's 40 times less. They aren't the same as these but I'm hanging a pot for heavens sake not a 55 inch t.v.

The reviewer that said they do not match is correct-they look cheap and although likely as functional as any other, I donated mine unopened to Goodwill.

I purchased the Calphalon 20x56 rack from CutleryAndMore because Amazon wouldn't match their lower price. I love the rack. These hooks fit it fine, but aren't exactly the same as the ones that came with the rack. I hesitated to buy hooks at Amazon because of the reviews saying they don't fit. I returned some of these hooks I got at a local BedBathBeyond because they did not fit. Looks like Amazon may have some new stock that fixed the problem.

July2005 update - I bought another set of these from Amazon, and one of the hooks was too small to fit on my rack. Looks like a manufacturing problem. Took me about 5min with a metal file to make it fit. I'd still buy them because I can't find anything else that works for this rack. If someone has come up with alternatives please post.

They do what they hold themselves out to do. And considering how hard its been finding these items, who can complain?
