Set includes: 8" omelette, 10" omelette, and 12" omelette, 3qt chefs casserole with cover, 7qt chefs casserole with cover, and 2.5qt shallow saucepan with cover. Heavy-gauge aluminum is responsive to temperature changes. These pans feature the original Calphalon hard anodized surface, which is stick resistant, meaning that it sticks when you want it (when your searing, browning) and releases when you need it to(when your food is ready). If you know how cast iron cooks, you know how the hard anodized cooks, but hard anodized has many beneifts that make it better choice- aluminum is a better conductor than iron, you never season your pan(so you dont have flavor transfer from dish to dish), and it doesn't rust! All pans are spun or drawn into shape, which makes the entire pan (sides as well as bottom) the same thickness, which guarantees even heating throughout. If you enjoy cooking and want the best and most versatile surface for performing a variety of techniques- this is the surface for you! Metal utensil and broiler safe. Lifetime Warranty.

Not sure if it is real Caphalon or an imitation. Only one lid is stamped with the logo and none of the handles are authentic (look like cheap metal and not the smooth stainless steel) as are my other pots. Buyer beware!

Ordered as a housewarming gift for my best friend as they moved into a new house. I have two Calphalon skillets that are perfect, hence the gift. These dont work as well and I dont know why. I actually flew up and spent two days with them. Rice sticks, meat sticks, eggs stick. They are not happy and wont use the pans anymore. I am sorry that I bought this set

They look nice and the price is good. I read a lot of reviews on these before I bought them. A lot of people said everything sticks to them ... but then there were a lot of people that said that those people don't know how to cook with the pots and pans and led into instructions on how to cook properly with them. So I bought them because I thought I could cook properly with them and EVERYTHING STICKS TO THEM. In the month I have used these I have followed all the directions: I cook everything on low (surprisingly food does cook fast on low with these) and hand wash them with soft sponges. Yet everything still sticks to these. Oh and there really isn't any lids in the set that fit the pans ... usually the lids are universal in sets like these to fit the pots and pans ... not this set. But they do work and it is a fairly inexpensive set. They look nice and they clean pretty easily.

I really didn't read all of the reviews before ordering this set (Calphalon Commercial 9-Piece Hard-Anodized Cookware Set).. I only got around to THAT the day after I ordered the item. The more I read, the more I worried. This set was to replace a raft of old Circulon pots/pans that have been around forever, and the non-stick wasn't anywhere near as good as when I first purchased them back in the early nineties.. and what I didn't need was bunch of new stuff (however new it was) that was duplicating the problem I already had.
I determined to just write it off if the new guys were too difficult to use.. and I carefully noted all the bugaboos listed in the reviews. The package arrived last week.. and I broke out my eggs to use in the small sauté pan. I pre-heated the pan over medium heat, added some butter, dropped my stirred eggs into the pan.. and everything went PERFECTLY. Ditto on sautéed sausage.. I even browned my breaded pork chops to go into the oven afterward without a problem (there were a few bits on the bottom which I deglazed with wine..they came up like magic) The set-up of having to preheat each piece only adds a couple of minutes to the overall process of what you're making, and I do believe omitting this step affects how aggressively food adheres to the pan.
In terms of appearance after use: I find it's true that in the inventory of pots (not so much the pans) included in the set, you can tell they've been cooked in.. I've taken pains to make sure all oil and food residue is carefully washed off with a plastic scrub ball and rinsed well, but some discoloration does occur, but oh-my-goodness, they perform so well I can't bring myself to complain. They do exactly what I hoped they'd do.
1. You do NOT need special utensils (according to the pamphlet enclosed)
2. They can be soaked (according to the pamphlet enclosed)
3. The included information says nothing about not "stacking" them on top of each other. I don't know where that came from.
Anyhow, I love the set and so far am totally satisfied.. and less than $170!!

Don't listen to all the negative reviews. If you notice, most folks that give it a high rating seem to know a bit more about cooking...or they have the patience to learn how to use non-stick cookware. There really isn't anything to learn but if you are lazy, rush your cooking and don't know how to clean up cookware.. I guess you'd give this a bad review. Preheat your cookware, use butter or an olive oil mister, have patience and make sure you don't go flipping your food too often and too soon. The food will give when it's ready and has crusted or cooked a bit. Clean up is a no brainer. Soak it and come back.. you can even use hard core scrubbers on this stuff. Don't expect it to look all pretty and new if you ACTUALLY USE your cookware. They may achieve a white glaze, get scratched a bit.. but those are the scars of using a pot... and a pan. Buy the nice copper stuff if you need to put on a show...and never cook and go out alot. Otherwise this stuff rocks. They are not as heavy as the old line, but I'm not melting gold and lead in mine so who cares. I have them both and like them both. If you see a good sale on these and can learn not to rush your cooking...BUY THEM before they are gone. The new lines will slowly push the old school stuff out.. and then all the lazy non stick folks won't have to worry..:)

I ordered this for my sister who wanted new cookware, but nothing treated for non-stick. The price was great and I held my breath until she received it and tried it out. She loves it! No problems with sticking food and clean up has been easy. She doesn't have a dishwasher so those concerns are moot. She likes the feel of the handles and the fit of the lids. While she hasn't put it in the oven yet, she doesn't anticipate any problems. This is my third purchase for her sight unseen and I seem to be batting 1000.

These pans are good enough for the price I paid. I was replacing a set that I loved, but were no longer available, so it is not the quality of my last set that was 34 years old, but they are good enough. I like that it has enough lids to go around and trade off with pans I'm not using.
By Betty Lou O'neill (Tennessee)
I like the pots ok. Trouble is that the inside bottom marks and they won't come off even after using the dishwasher. I hope it does not affect the food. It is almost like the lining of the pot is coming off. Other than that they work fine on my new ceramic top stove.
By D. Bazinett
I'm glad I listened to another reviewer. I was going to get the less expensive Cuisinart, and he said for a few extra bucks to get this one. I absolutely love this cookware set. I use medium to low heat and everything turns out great. I've had to do minimal cleaning too. However, to keep the shine I'll use the Bar Keeper's Friend. The price at Amazon is fantastic. I've priced them in stores around here and on sale they go for $150.

I love the set. It heats fast and is very efficient in heating. Conserves gas and is easy to clean. Cooking needs to be done at lower heat than what I was used to when using my hard anodized set.

My husband had an old personal salad shooter. He loved it. Then the plastic gears stripped and it was unusable. I found the professional one and ordered it for him! He was delighted!
By Richard E. Leonard Jr. (Oklahoma, USA)
My wife has been using our old salad shooter for years and was crushed when it finally cracked. Get me anoter, she demanded. The same kind. Well, almost, I got the same one but it was bigger. Now she is really happy, and so am I. She shoot salad, cheese, sliced potatoes, and other vegetables. I just hope it lasts as long as the last one, about a 30 years! Oh yes, the delivery was on time and the service exceptional.
By D. Burden (Grand Rapids, MI)
This was a wonderful investment. We bought our first Presto salad shooter about 5yrs ago and it still works good. We make 500 - 1,000 egg rolls at a time and with only 1 salad shooter it took a very long time to shredd cabbage, carrots, and onion. Now we have a second Presto Salad shooter and it cuts our prep time in half. For the money it works great and we would reccomend that everybody who loves to cook, have one in they're kitchen. I could buy 10 or more of these for the cost of 1 restaurant quality shredder. We make the egg rolls 3 to 4 times a year and my wife and I really love our Presto salad shooter.[ASIN:B0000Z6JJG Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White]

Easy to use. Does exactly what it says it'll do and I use it all the time for salads and making home-made potato chips.
By Susan Cochran
This is the handiest thing ever. I've worn out two of them over the years and have even given them as gifts. Wouldn't be without one!
