Look! Calphalon Commercial 9-Piece Hard-Anodized Cookware Set

Calphalon Commercial 9-Piece Hard-Anodized Cookware Set







Product Description
Set includes: 8" omelette, 10" omelette, and 12" omelette, 3qt chefs casserole with cover, 7qt chefs casserole with cover, and 2.5qt shallow saucepan with cover. Heavy-gauge aluminum is responsive to temperature changes. These pans feature the original Calphalon hard anodized surface, which is stick resistant, meaning that it sticks when you want it (when your searing, browning) and releases when you need it to(when your food is ready). If you know how cast iron cooks, you know how the hard anodized cooks, but hard anodized has many beneifts that make it better choice- aluminum is a better conductor than iron, you never season your pan(so you dont have flavor transfer from dish to dish), and it doesn't rust! All pans are spun or drawn into shape, which makes the entire pan (sides as well as bottom) the same thickness, which guarantees even heating throughout. If you enjoy cooking and want the best and most versatile surface for performing a variety of techniques- this is the surface for you! Metal utensil and broiler safe. Lifetime Warranty.

CustomerReviews

DO NOT BUY THESE PANS!!!!!!
We bought these because they appeared to be on sale for a great price. We have had many sets of Calphalon pans in the past and always been happy with them. But this set is defective. Firs of all they weight 3 times as much as any other set I have ever seen, which is a bit of a hassle. But more importantly EVERYTHING sticks to them, whether you use butter, oil, pam etc.I don't even know how it is possible, but its true. There is something defective about the non=stick coting that actually makes it and EXTRA stick coting. Stay away.

Bad Quality Product
Worst experience with Cookware. After two uses it started discoloring and lost its finish inside. Please note that this is "Made in China". Last thing I wanted is to have some Chinese chemicals in my food. Thanks to Amazon's excellent return policy, I sent it back and got a refund. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this product line.

This is a terrible set!
Don't buy it - this is a terrible set! Amazon being a reputable seller should remove it from the site.

I read very mixed reviews before buying this set but still decided to go ahead because I owned another piece of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized cookware. The pan that I had was also made in China and worked great for me - so I didn't mind the origin. Probably at least a half of the things we have in a typical household have been produced in China anyways.

So this is not about the country of origin - this is about the quality of the product. Everything people say here about food sticking to the pan is completely true! Cleaning these pans is almost impossible! No, I didn't expect them to behave like non-sticks do but I didn't expect everything to stick regardless of the amount of butter/oil I put.

I'm returning this set and will continue my search for a good set of cookware.

Extremely Disappointing
My girlfriend had picked up a very nice Calphalon cook pan at Ross for a great price and she really loves it. I thought I'd get her some more Calphalon cookware for Christmas and bought these pots. The very first time using two of these pots was a disaster. They don't come clean. The cookware film is coming off. One has a white film, the other has a black film. Absolutely do not buy this particular model. They are total crap.

High quality pans at a great price, not USA Calphon
Yeah yeah these are not the USA made pans, I know and I am sure the USA quality is better and lead free, but these are good pans. CEOs have to look like they are making profits by shipping manufacture overseas, when in fact they are making quality compromises. Oh well great pans, hard to located which ones these are on the Calphon website to register, but Amazon says, "Lifetime Warranty" and I have the screen shot to prove it.
