Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Professional Nonstick II 10-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Terrific cookware
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this cookware set for several years, and I love it. Three factors are essential in quality cookware, 1. Even heating, 2. Responsiveness to heat, and 3. Ease of cleaning. I have never seen cookware that was excellent in all three, until this set. These pans heat extremely evenly. I have an electric stove with which it was nearly impossible to get even heat with my prior cookware. When I cooked most things some food would burn. That was because of uneven heat. These Calphalon pans heat uniformly across the entire surface; you will not get any "hot spots."
To properly cook some dishes I begin on a higher heat to brown, then turn the heat down to slowly cook. With most cookware, when I turn down the heat it takes forever for the pan to cool down. (how many times have you found yourself lifting the pan off the burner to accomplish this?) These Calphalon pans heat up almost instantly when I turn the heat up and then cool down nearly as quickly when you turn the heat down.
I have never had pans that were this easy to clean. You just run then under hot water, brush with a soapy sponge and they are spotless.
Regarding some of the comments about lemon and other acidic foods, I checked Calphalon's website and got some details. You can cook anything in the pans, but you do not want to store or marinate any acidic foods (tomato, lemon, etc.) in the pans or they may discolor. It does not hurt the functionality of the pans; they just turn a different shade after prolonged acidic contact. This does not concern me, however, because you should not store or marinate in any cookware. You should use plastic or glass to avoid discoloring or adding a metallic taste to your food.
If you want excellent nonstick cookware, this is a terrific choice.
Description of Calphalon Professional Nonstick II 10-Piece Cookware Set
Any cook would happily welcome this cookware set. Five pans and a big stockpot, four of which have domed glass lids, can handle nearly every cooking task. Durable nonstick coats the cooking surfaces. Every piece goes into the oven up to 450 degrees, adding versatility to the set. The big stockpot alone can simmer stocks and soups, cook chili and boil pasta, stew, and, braise. The saucepans can do all that, plus make sauces and cook vegetables. The thick-bottomed omelet pans can sear and sauté as well as cook omelets and frittatas. This cookware is anodized for hardness. Rolled stainless-steel handles are double-riveted for durability and balance and stay cool on stovetops. Holes in handles facilitate hanging on a hook or peg. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pans cook without hot spots or warping. Hand wash with mild detergent and scour with a plastic or nylon scrubber. --Fred Brack What's in the Box
