Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8-Piece Cookware Set

The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while offering the high-quality construction associated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, attractive look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or special occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalons original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line--but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also convenient is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them.

This set has all the pieces necessary for daily family cooking: 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart covered saucepans, and an 8-quart covered stockpot. The pans exteriors are made of hard-anodized aluminum for superior heat distribution. The interiors are coated with a nonstick surface that is resistant to peeling, chipping, flaking, or cracking. This cookware has ergonomic brushed stainless-steel handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the pans for durability. The lids are tempered glass--for viewing food as it cooks--encircled by a stainless-steel band that complements the cookware and fits snugly into the pans. All Contemporary Nonstick cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F, should not be put in the dishwasher, and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Review: Careful on the pricing...
Was looking into possibly buying this set, but probably not here. The Calphalon website says suggested retail price for this set is $299. Not sure where the inflated suggested retail is coming from. I saw a similar note on another Calphalon review - same situation.
Customer Review: Perfect for Us
This 8-piece set fits our needs perfectly. We've not been disappointed. The omelet pans turn out perfect eggs. Nothing sticks (inside or out)to any of the pans. We ordered separate lids for the omelet pans and they fit snugly. This is a great set of cookware.

Customer Review: Impressed chef
I've been cooking quite a bit with this set and do recommend them to the casual cook and/or the professional. The major thing I've noticed is the amazing heat distribution of these pans. I cooked at friends house a couple weeks ago on a crappy electric range and the tuna steak we were cooking turned out perfect like I was cooking at home on my gas range. Also a notable achievement is the easy clean up of these pans. The smooth design seemed cosmetic at first but I've been grateful for the rounded interior edges, they've saved me hours of clean up. Great investment! Lifetime warranty is no joke either. Worth the price.
