Review on 🍳 Calphalon Classic Hard-Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set: Exceptional Pots and Pans Collection for Your Kitchen by Zack Higgins

I would only give this product a 4.7. I ordered a few months ago and only wanted to write a review after using it for a long time. Let me tell you how I use this: I'm a bachelor and I do "bachelor cooking". I used to microwave 90% of my food, but wanted to cook something 'real'. "Good, bad and ugly." I never use the smallest pan. It's too small for anything useful. I'd rather they leave it all together. I also wish the largest pot was a little bigger. But that's just my choice. I would prefer if they turned the two pans into one pan somewhere in the "half-center" size. These are just my personal preferences. I've read that some people get upset that pots and lids stay warm. Em. they are metal. Metal retains heat. They are metal. So if you want to cook something in it, you need a hot pad when you touch the metal. Some people have posted reviews saying the nonstick surface doesn't hold up well in the dishwasher. I'm a bachelor and even I know you can't put good dishes in the dishwasher. I hand wash them. This is pretty easy (see exceptions below). It is enough to wave a soapy sponge. When are they difficult to clean? Caps (ALL caps) are made with a very thin gap where the glass of the cap meets the metal of the rim. When they bond there is a VERY thin gap between the two materials. Cleaning between tug materials is a pain in the back. You almost have to grab a knife and cut out. The second cleaning problem: The handles of pots and pans are held in place by rivets. These rivets are not connected by the same non-stick surface. So you're going to spend just as much (or even more) time cleaning those connecting rivets as you're going to spend the rest of the whole pot or pot. In short, I list the problems. These are great pots and pans for cooking. NOTHING sticks. If you want to hand wash (which is pretty damn easy) they clean really well.
