Customer Review: Great Money Spent
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this set many months ago when it was even cheaper than it is now. It has taken me awhile to come to the conclusion that this is the best set of cookware I've ever owned.
Now, I'm like many people who "SHOP" for products. I did my homework and there is no doubt that all-clad is the best. I considered all-clad and have several pieces, but Calphalon is by far the best set for the money. I mean, come on, $1000???. I can't afford that, and if I could I'd like a chef to come with it. And another thing, I'm not super gentle with my pans and for the price of this set I don't feel guilty about banging them around.
For cooking in stainless steal I have been on a learning curve. I've done a great job cooking with these pans. They heat fast, cook evenly, and maintain heat. So far the only part to get too hot to the touch is the handle on top of the glass lid. Oh yea, I love the glass lid :o) To be able to see the food cooking without having to let heat out to peek is wonderful. Cooking is fast with these pans as proof that I didn't exactly burn my clam chowder tonight, but I did stick it to the bottom because my timing was off. Hey, I'm still learning.
Stuck/burned food cleaned up fast and easy. I couldn't believe how the chowder came off the bottom with a tiny bit of scrubbing. People complain about staining...I tested this problem. I got some color change when I just hand washed a pan. I tried scrubbing the stain out and it wouldn't budge. I got barkeepers friend and the discoloration just came right out. I don't like the smell of barkeepers friend and I don't trust that is cleans the pan, so I only use it get out the discoloration that appears once in awhile. Keep in mind that these pans are easy to clean, but every so often you will get a stain.
As for washing in the dishwasher or hand washing, I don't know. I don't have a diswasher yet. It's sitting in a box waiting for plan approval from the city for my new kitchen. Until then I love love love my calphalon stainless pans. I cook on a hot plate with them and wash them in my bathroom sink. When I get my dishwasher I'll update this review as to how I feel. But then again, I've always been one to hand wash my knives, pots/pans, and china, I'm not sure if I could stick these in the dishwasher.
I recommend this set to everyone. And for the price of under $200 ($150) if you catch the super deal these are the best bang for the buck and then some.

Made of attractive 18/10 brushed stainless steel, these pans have an aluminum core through their bottoms for even heat distribution. The stainless-steel loop handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The covers are made of tempered glass so you can monitor your food while it cooks and have a dome shape, which allows food to retain its moisture while cooking. The cookware and lids are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you don?t have to dirty several pans to make one dish. All cookware in this line is 100-percent dishwasher-safe and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
