Calphalon® Premier™ Stainless Steel 11-Piece Cookware Set

This is my first stainless steel purchase. Money well spent. Food can stain the pans a little but nothing a little Bar Keepers Friend can’t shine up like new.

I love my new set of Calphaon cookware. The flat bottom does not scratch my glass stove top as my other set did. These pieces can be washed in the dishwasher. The handles can be held without burning your hands. The weight feels good and they are attractive as well.

I was nervous about these pans considering the reviews. I’m so glad I got them anyway because I’ve used every single pan already and they’re the best. I think the issue the bad reviews have is simply a lack of knowing how to use stainless steal pans. They’re not like non stick. If you’re aware of how to properly use and care for stainless steal pans then I would imagine you will love these as much as I do!

I bought this set about a year ago; held off on reviewing them until I've put them through their paces. I use these daily on my gas range. They cook even and are easy to clean, even when things stick. Those of you who use a gas range know that temperature is key; gas heats the pan faster/hotter, so most things that stick are user error (i.e. I got busy chopping and didn't turn the heat down fast enough). Even so, a quick soak in hot water and a few scrubs with Dawn & steel wool remove any residue and pans, after a year, are still shiny. I love the heavy duty feel and thick glass lids. Highly recommend these for anyone who cooks on a regular basis!

Great purchase. . . . .. need care instructions for our purchase. Please send asap.

I have used these for about 6 months now and they are by far my favorite. They cook just as good as my older All-Clad pans, but the brushed metal means I don't have to worry about scratching or how shiny they are! Be forewarned, and knowledgeable about the fact that these are stainless steel, not non-stick. If you don't know how to properly cook with stainless steel, like ALL restaurants use, then look at non-stick pans instead. These pans do build up marks and char on them but a very easy and simple mash with Bar Keepers Friend brings them right back to looking brand new again! Do your research and be knowledgeable!

Love this set; would like to be able to buy additional saucepans.

I have used my entire set multiple times with stellar results! They are stainless steel, not non-stick, so cooking in them requires paying attention to what you put between the pan and the food being prepared, and the temperature at which you cook. If you burn something, a good soak in warm soapy water or even the use of an SOS or Brillo pad will have your pots and pans shining like new! I love them!
