Review on Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Piece Set: A Complete Cookware Solution for Modern Kitchens by Kimoni Parson

This set is phenomenal when cared for properly. If you read the care and usage instructions, you shouldn't have any problems with any of the items. If there are problems with normal use, you can always ask Calphalon to send you a replacement. Just make sure you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT put them in the dishwasher! A hard anodized look will be ruined by the abrasive soap used. The steamer and pasta dryer in this set are made of stainless steel, so they can be put in the dishwasher if you wish (I just hand wash everything). Given their cost compared to what you get I would definitely recommend buying them.
