Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 8-Piece Cookware Set

This Calphalon 8-piece set consists of a 1-1/2-quart saucepan with lid, a 2-quart saucepan with lid, a 6-quart saucepot with lid, and 8- and 10-inch omelet pans. With aluminum cores sandwiched by stainless-steel layers, Calphalon's Tri-Ply pots and pans deliver the attributes of both metals. The aluminum cores conduct heat quickly and uniformly across the pots and pans' bottoms and all the way up their sides. The durable, 18/10 stainless-steel interiors and exteriors are easy to clean, resist scratching, denting, warping, and corrosion, and are nonreactive to acidic food. Domed, glass lids permit cooking to be monitored without releasing heat and are oven-safe to 450 degrees F. Riveted, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and have hanging holes. Rims are flared to facilitate dripless pouring. Tri-Ply cookware is polished to a mirror finish outside for beauty and wears a satin finish inside to conceal inevitable utensil marks. Everything goes safely into the dishwasher, although hand washing better preserves the mirror finish. Tri-Ply cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Customer Review: Can't cook eggs?
Very high quality set of cookware as it transfers heat very efficiently on a glasstop stove. The only problem I've have was cooking bacon or eggs even with pools of butter or oil! Ended up having to buy 2 more nonstick pans to add to the set($150 more!). Otherwise I love 'em!
Customer Review: You Know You Want Me
This (13-piece) set is so adorable, you'll make up reasons to cook. Excellent weight, not flimsy. Easy to clean stainless is a wonderful thing. I got the set on (Christmas season) sale, and believe it is a good value at the sale price.
