4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty nice, March 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Kitchen Essentials® from Calphalon® Stainless Steel 10-pc. Cookware Set

I've had this set for about 6 months. These pans are very good for the money. The nostick surface works amazingly well, you hardly need any oil in all of your pan frying. I was able to stain the inside of one of the sauce pans pretty easily. Besides that I haven't really found a flaw with this set. I also bought the stir fry pan for this set and that has performed up to the standards I have come to expect from these pans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calphalon 10 pc Stainless Steel Cookset, January 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Kitchen Essentials® from Calphalon® Stainless Steel 10-pc. Cookware Set

I received the 10 pc set from my husband for Christmas. I have been very pleased with the quality and how easy they are to clean after use. Some veg did stain the bottom of the saucepans. Maybe this will disappear if tomatoes are cooked in them. The pans take longer to heat up because of the thickness and the weight but once they are hot they cook evenly. I feel we made a good choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT dishwasher safe, November 28, 2004

This review is from: Kitchen Essentials® from Calphalon® Stainless Steel 10-pc. Cookware Set

A drawback of Calphalon's anodized alumninum is that it cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher. But stainless steel is dishwasher safe, and Amazon's product description claims that Calphalon's stainless steel line is dishwasher safe. But if you check out www.calphalon.com and look at the description of their stainless line, it explicitly prohibits using dishwasher detergent. So it is "dishwasher safe" but you can't use dishwasher detergent.
