10-Piece Cookware Set: Calphalon Classic Stainless Steel Pots and Pans for Enhanced SEO Review

The pots are beautiful. They are well balanced and durable. If you don't follow the instructions for preheating and using the oil, food will stick. You will also need metal utensils. Plastic doesn't work. If food does stick, a quick soak and then application with steel wool and a powder detergent will quickly clean it and look like new. I've had mine for a month or so and I use it every day. Still great.

I am very dissatisfied with these pans. They were discolored when I first used them. I've used Brillo but to no avail. I called Calphalon and they told me that the stainless steel isn't non-stick (in other words, rust-free stains), which I've never found on previous brands of pots I've had. I was told to buy the Bar Keepers Friend cleaner and was given additional instructions which I followed. The bartenders helped add shine but didn't remove the "stains".

I would recommend this pot and pan set to any cook for home use. If you take care of these pots and pans, they will last at least your short life. Does not deform when heated in the oven. Easy to clean even if you use a slow cooker. Perfect heat distribution ensures excellent roasting. I use these inserts on a glass surface and they spread out well enough to hold four chicken breasts, 10 scallops, two strips, etc. I would use them in my restaurant but let's start with the fact that I'm eleven…

I've used each pan several times since I've had it and I use at least one a day. I read the reviews and found that some of them are either too picky or don't know how to care for SS cookware. I've never used SS, but you won't have any problems if you follow the rules and advice. I use Bar Keeper's liquid once a week on each pan to remove residue/tarnish. They shine and look new in a minute, see photos. I love strainer covers for the obvious reason, but they serve as a vapor outlet. The rim of…

We've been using it for 6 months and we really like it. Each item in the set has a comfortable heaviness. We looked for something like this in every department store but everything we saw was either cheap and flimsy or outside of our budget. This is a quality set at a very reasonable price compared to similar sets that we have seen in stores such as Macy's. The cases are also durable and feel comfortably heavy. I've dropped some flooring quite hard and so far it hasn't broken. I've read that…

I love these pans! Well made and was a great price. For those who have complained about the grips, I don't get it. The handles have the appearance of brushed steel and stay fairly cool while cooking. The spout and lid with built in strainer holes are amazing! To avoid food sticking, do not overheat the pan or add cold meat. I had no problem searing the meat since I followed the directions on the description page (medium heat, meat near room temperature, use a teaspoon of oil to see if the pan…
