Don't Buy These Pans! Buyer Beware [Posted on 2009-01-04] I read many of the product reviews and also own other Calphalon pans, these don't measure up and everything, and I mean everything, sticks to these pans.
I have other Calphalon pans, all with smooth handles, these have cast iron handles and are a cheap knock-off of the originals. Save yourself the frustration and don't buy these pans!
I purchased them for Christmas and I am calling Amazon tomorrow to return.
everything sticks [Posted on 2009-01-06] I bought these because I thought it was time I invested in some nice pans. For some reason these pans are the worst things I have ever cooked in. Every thing I make sticks to the pans. I can't make eggs without them sticking to the pans. I can't make anything!
good sturdy set [Posted on 2009-01-07] this is a good set, but you really need to learn to cook on them, at first everything stuck! we were so used to non-stick pans. Now they work great and clean up nicely.
Very Good Quality Product [Posted on 2009-01-07] This was a very good quality product and well made. Good set with good sizes of pans and skillets.
an amazing bargain [Posted on 2009-01-08] This is some of the nicest cookware I've ever used.
The good: Perfect, even heating. You can make even delicate egg-based sauces in this without a double-boiler. Lovely fond too; seared meat releases when it's done and leaves behind exquisite brown bits for deglazing.
The bad: Must be hand-washed; can't go in the dishwasher. Not non-stick; you have to feel the food as you cook it and get it right.
The bottom line: There are two lines of cookware that work this well. Both are beautiful and usable, and it used to be a matter of esthetics to choose between them. Do you want Calphalon black or All-Clad silver? Since the Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized went on sale for 80% off, the choice became easy.
