Home > Kitchen > Cookware > Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 9-Piece Cookware Set

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!

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.

Compared to other pieces from Calphalon hard-anodized line, this set is much lesser quality. The handles are not as smooth as the other pieces I own and purchased separately. I don't claim to be a gourmet cook, but I've been cooking long enough to know the quality of things I paid for. The set quickly became dull and has discoloration on the bottom like I had it for years (it's only been a month). And I did follow care instructions and never put it in dishwasher. Not to mention that I got 8 pc. instead of 9 being advertised. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

Thought I was getting these awesome pots and pans, but in actuality, they look nice, but they are a pain to keep clean. And the instructions say not to use PAM, so there's no point in trying to cook low fat in these pans. Even when I use oil, things things still stick. Also, you are not supposed to stack them when you store away, so I have to buy a new pot rack, which there is not really any room in my kitchen for. I'm so disappointed with my purchase. I wish I could return them. If I could do it all over again, I would spend the extra money for the non-stick calphalon.

It is exactly what she wanted....she was very excited and happy to get this gift.
