Customer Review: The last set you will even buy.
I have cooked with this set for a year now, and feel I can rate it as excellent. I have had several lesser quality sets over the years, including circulon, and have always used non-stick. I am a "foodie" and after my last set disintegrated, I decided to step up to a quality stainless set. I researched both Calphalon and All-Clad. I am SO glad I went with the Calphalon Tri-ply. Because I couldn't ween myself off of non-stick completely, I also bought one Calphalon stainless, non-stick pan. That was completely unnecessary. The tri-ply releases food easily and clean-up is a snap. Even burnt on food comes off with a quick boiling of water at the bottom of the pan and then let it cool. Voila...it comes off with water. I do use Barkeeper's Friend to polish it up occasionally, but otherwise it cleans up with soap and water. I am so happy with this set and highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Great set of pans
One of the best set of pans i ever owened got tired of nonstick coated pans always peeling off after time only resulting in having to buy new ones. Stainless Steel pans are just as nonstick aslong as you use them as recomended buy the manufactor as far as amazon saying they go for 800 plus well 399 is the recomended price for the set of the manufactors web page if you shop around like i did i got them for 328.00 including shipping but a 5 star recommendatation for people thay are tired of the same old peeling coated nonstick pans that need to be replaced after a couple of years time after time.

Customer Review: Do NOT buy these pans
I have been meaning to write a review ever since I purchased these pans over a year ago, but keep forgetting. However, while making Jumbalaya tonight, I burned myself, once again, while trying to move the stupid thing. This has reminded me that I need to finally write a review on this set. On top of this, the bottoms of the pans get stained very easily, and no matter how much scrubbing you do, it never comes off. As nice as they look first coming out of the box, be warned, these pans are a piece of crap!! Save your money and get something quality.
Customer Review: Started off so promising....
Purchased this set at Target roughly 2 years ago...paid about $250. Much like an earlier reviewer, I was seriously impressed with the initial quality. However, after 2 years of steady use with great care taken to hand wash, never use metal utensils, etc, the finish has flaked off the small skillet, 2 of the pots and is beginning to flake on the medium sized skillet. Cooking quality was great with even heating, etc....but unfortunately, the build quality over the long haul is poor. I could have purchased a cheaper set and had them last this long.... Grrrr.....

Simply Calphalon Stainless 8-Piece Cookware Set
The Simply Calphalon Stainless line of cookware is an excellent alternative for those who prefer cooking in stainless steel and who desire Calphalon quality at a more budget price. This 10-piece set has all the basics to get your home kitchen up and running. The cookware includes 1-quart and 2-quart covered saucepans; a 6-quart covered stockpot; and 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans.
Made of attractive 18/10 brushed stainless steel, these pans have an aluminum core through their bottoms for even heat distribution. The stainless-steel loop handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The covers are made of tempered glass so you can monitor your food while it cooks and have a dome shape, which allows food to retain its moisture while cooking. The cookware and lids are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you dont have to dirty several pans to make one dish. All cookware in this line is 100-percent dishwasher-safe and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
What's in the Box
1-, 2-quart covered saucepans; 6-quart covered stockpot; 8-, 10-inch omelet pans
Customer Review: Christmas Gift
I ordered this product as a Christmas gift and paid for the two day delivery. I am very upset with DHL they fouled up and took four days to deliver my package allthough it was in town on time. They admitted the late delivery was thier fault but since it was the holidays they refused a refund of the shipping charge. The product is great and I'm very happy with the retailer and the product. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH DHL OR WITH ANY RETAILER THAT USES THEM.
Customer Review: Impressive cookware
I bought this set to replace my old no-name cookware set. It's a HUGE difference and I'm glad I bought Calphalon. The material is thick and heavy which are the characteristics of good cookware according to my aunts who cook for 30 years. The design of this set is really nice. I was worried about the handle which is made of some kind of metal though it's written as hand-cool handle. From my cooking, the handle is cool even when the pots/pats were at the temperature of boiling hot. I don't know how Calphalon did that but the heat from the container didn't transfer to the handle at all. All in all, I highly recommend this set to everyone. It looks really good and the quality is way beyond my expectation!
