The BEST
These pots are worth the splurge. I have cooked with a lot of pots these âpremiumâ are the absolute best. Nothing sticks, evenly cooks and very high quality makes these my go pots. I bought one premium not the classic and it was my favorite pot. When I saw this set on sale on Amazon I jumped at the chance to get them. The pots were packed well and arrived in tact. They look good too. I absolutely love these pots.

Love these pans!
These pans are sturdy but not too heavy.They clean up very well and haven’t gotten dull or torn up in the year we’ve had them.You get a good variety of sizes and lids.The stainless looks nice and sleek.I waited until these were on sale to buy them, but even if I would have paid full price I would have gotten a great product for my money.

A little disappointed
Overall the quality of this set seems pretty great. The heat distribution is great, the entire pan gets hot, versus my old non-stick pans that had hot and cold spots. As long as you follow the “rules” with stainless steel – heat the pan until hot, then add oil and coat the surface – nothing sticks and they clean up very easily. However, I am really disappointed that one of the lids in the set came with rust under the handle. For a more expensive set I would expect better quality, especially considering I’ve never had any rusting in my pans, even the cheapest sets. So I’m knocking a star off for that. They are also very heavy pans so that may be an issue for some, I find that it can be a struggle to hold the larger pans in one hand as I pour food out of it.

Truly impressive cookware
WOW! Great looking cookware, cool handles on pots, easy to clean and the perfect match for an induction cooktop. Great investment for a long time of use. Glass lids are wonderful to see cooking action without lifting lid and loosing heat.

Great Quality and Very Pretty
Just moved into my own place and this cookware set is already my favorite investment. These are the sturdiest Iâve ever used. They are heavy and feel great to hold. The lids are cross-compatible with all pieces the same size. Look forward to using these for a long time!

Not worth what I paid for them.
I finally bought a set of CALPHALON cookware, because of their so called reputation. I paid over $400 because I wanted to treat myself to a new set of pots and pans. I haven’t had them too long to rate them on anything other than they are NOT EASY TO CLEAN. After using the first pan, I gave it ample time to cool down and left in water to soak for 30 min. I used a non scratch sponge and let air dry. When I went to put it away, it had some cloud like looking blotches. This time I soaked in hot water for another 30 minutes and added dishwashing liquid. I used the non scratch sponge again and towel dried. It was less blotchy, but blotchy nonetheless. I couldn’t stop there, because all I thought of was the price tag and that the pan should look better than that, after one use. I soaked for a third time, this time using a Brillo pad. The blotchiness was less, but a new pan should still not look like that. I wish I didn’t buy this CALPHALON brand. Had I gone with something priced 2/3 or 3/4 less, I wouldn’t be so upset. Easy clean up should be pretty essential for this price!!!

Well worth the cost
Iâve only used these a dozen times or so but they are well worth the cost. They cook great, and very sturdy and well made, and require much less heat than my old set. The only downside was my fault, I didnât pay attention to how large everything was. Make sure you have plenty of storage room

I recently purchased this cookware, attracted by its heavy-duty build and promising quality. Initial impressions were positive, as they seemed robust and well-made. However, I’ve encountered a significant issue as I started using them. Frying stains are persistently left on the base after cooking, and they don’t come off even after thorough washing.It’s disappointing because I expected these pans to meet high standards in both performance and maintenance. While they might cook well, the difficulty in cleaning adds unwanted inconvenience to my experience. I would recommend considering a different option if ease of cleaning is a priority for you.

Limpiándolos con barkeepers friend o alguna otra forma que conozcas (he escuchado que alguna mezcla de vinagre con otra cosa funciona) mientras se aprende a usarlos funcionan muy bien (sólo recomiendo no tallar las leyendas que trae grabadas en la parte inferior de los sartenes porque ese producto también las borra).Recomiendo revisar videos de cómo cocinar con sartenes de acero inoxidable si no tienen la experiencia. Si lo aprenden en mi opinión funcionan bastante bien y no tienes que preocuparte de que el teflón se pierda ya que no dependen de él al no tener ese recubrimiento.En términos generales el acabado es muy bueno y agradable y se sienten en general muy resistentes y de muy buena calidad. Agarrándolos en oferta son sartenes que te pueden durar toda la vida y asà no tienes que estar gastando cada año o par de años como 2,500 o más por baterÃas de cocina de calidad inferior, 1 sólo pago equivalente a 3 baterÃas, tal vez, pero por 1 sola vez con calidad excepcional es mucha mejor inversión o gasto.Esta baterÃa incluye 1 sartén chico, uno mediano y uno grande, una olla del mismo tamaño de la tapa del sartén chico que se siente mediana y una olla del tamaño de la tapa del sartén mediano que se siente grande. La tapa del sartén grande no incluye una olla de ese tamaño pero me parece bien porque la mediana ya se siente de suficiente profundidad por lo cual no lo veo necesario. Tal vez para una familia con 2 hijos este un poco limitada pero yo estoy empezando a vivir con mi pareja y no nos falta nada de superficie para cocinar. Lo único que se ha agregado a esto es 1 olla que creo si lleva teflon para cuando requiera calentar más rápido algo, un sartén igual porque el huevo es un poco laborioso, todavÃa no encontramos bien la forma, una ollita chiquita para calentar agua para té y esas cosas y un comal que también es de acero inoxidable. Todo lo demás lo hacemos con esta baterÃa , si este juego trajera el comal (que es prácticamente un sartén plano y cuadrado serÃa un juego perfecto).En mi opinión 100% recomendados estos sartenes (llevo 2 meses de uso pero me dan la impresión de que sà pueden durar de por vida).

I bought these after having to return two sets of Lagostina stainless cookware because they both warped after first use. Yes, there are things you must avoid in order to not damage clad cookware, but they were especially fragile to heat. I took a chance and spent the extra money ($75 at the time) to pick up this set, and I haven’t regretted it! This set comes with two well-sized skillets – 10″ and 12″ rather than the 8″ and 10″ of most other sets. After two months of use, none of the pieces have developed any warping. They have more heft than the other sets I’ve used. This is especially noticeable with the glass lids. I’m not a huge fan of glass lids as they’re a pain to keep clean, but the added weight definitely make the lids seal better than the thin stainless steel lids I had in the Lagostina set. These will last me a long time and I couldn’t be happier with them!

El acero inoxidable esun tanto más complicado para cocinar sobre todo pescado frito , huevo etc pero una vez agarrándole el modo es escepcional está baterÃa es de buen calibre y no se calientan las agarraderas las tapas son de vidrio grueso la recomiendo

Great value. Would recommend. Make sure you cook on lower temp settings. I still keep a good nonstick for eggs but these are great, way better temperature control than aluminum and cast iron. Learn about stainless steel before buying and season pans before use
