Calphalon Brushed 3-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set w/Turbo Heat Tech 10 Piece Includes Frying Pans, Pots and Pans Set, Induction, Oven Safe 450F, Brushed Stainless Silver

Highly Recommended, Versatile and Durable Cookware Set I ordered the Calphalon Premier Cookware Set (10-piece), and as shown in the photos, it consists of a very practical and well-balanced selection of pans and pots. It was delivered well packaged, and as expected from Calphalon’s reputation, the stainless-steel material feels solid and durable, yet the set is not as heavy as I initially expected.As shown in the photos, it is compatible with induction cooktops and can also be used in the oven and cleaned in the dishwasher. This makes cooking extremely convenient and cleanup easy. The cookware I used before had lids with steam holes, but this set does not, so you need to watch it carefully when boiling foods like soup.Another big advantage is the wide range of sizes. From small pans to very large pots, the variety makes it incredibly convenient for cooking different types of dishes. It works great for everything from making sauces to boiling pasta. Cooking with stainless-steel pans does require a bit of technique, but compared to my previous cookware, food sticks much less. If you preheat the pan for about three minutes before cooking, food does not stick at all.Heat is distributed evenly across the surface, which makes cooking much easier and more enjoyable. Overall, this is a clean, scratch-free, sturdy, and well-built cookware set, and I highly recommend it.

NOT 5 PLY- and they stain easy and have a weird silver color that wipes off when brand new these are not 5 ply. the bottom of the pan says TS1390 and when you search online it clearly states they are 3 ply (tri-ply). this is DISHONEST. they are thin- they stain easy and get funny metallic colored spots on them. and when i got them at first i used a magic sponge to wipe them after scrubbing clean and a bunch of grey colored stuff came off the pan. if you do not clean them properly whatever that is goes into your food! i always heated them up properly- had them on low heat never up high. i coated them with ghee and made sure the ghee was melted and all over the pan. the pan should not look like this after a month of use. please see the clearly stated AI description of this pan that says it is 3 ply not 5 ply. 5 ply costs more- so they are selling a cheaper pan listing it is a more expensive pan. which is SHADY

The last cookware set I'll need to buy for a long time I cook constantly and I have gone through my share of sets that looked great out of the box and started warping or losing their finish within a year. This one is different. The 3-ply brushed stainless construction is noticeably more substantial than most cookware at this price range and it heats up faster and more evenly because of the aluminum core sandwiched in the middle. In practical terms that means less hot spotting and more consistent results whether I am searing or doing a slow simmer.The full set covers everything. Frying pans, saucepans, a stockpot, and glass lids that actually fit without rattling or trapping steam in the wrong way. Oven safe to 450 degrees which gives real flexibility for dishes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven. Works on induction too which not every stainless set handles properly.The one thing to know is that stainless requires a little technique that nonstick does not. Let the pan heat up properly before adding food and use a little cooking spray or oil and nothing sticks. Skip that step and you will have cleanup to deal with. Once you get the feel for it the cooking experience is excellent.Professional-tier cookware in this category can cost three or four times as much. This set performs closer to that level than anything else I have used at this price. Really happy with it and the glass lids fitting perfectly was a small detail that made a noticeable difference.

Great quality cookware you know from Calphalon I grew up with Calphalon in my household, and I've been a Calphalon fan for years. I actually had their Classic Oil-Infused Ceramic 11-piece set on my wedding registry waaay back when, and even though it's been over 13 years, I still use the 6qt pot from that set. So I wasn't surprised one bit at the quality of these stainless-steel set, it's Calphalon, after all. It handles everyday cooking and wear without any problems.I think in general, all of Calphalon cookware seems to be slightly heavier than your average cookware, but they heat evenly and feel really sturdy. I love that there's nothing plastic or silicone or coated to worry about with these. There's a bit of a learning curve if you're not used to stainless steel cookware, but once you get it, cooking with these pans is super easy. Like, I always start the pan on medium for to get it nice and hot (I've done the little water drop bead dance trick too, lol) and then add the oil and the foods. And then of course don't touch foods immediately, etc. You know how in shows like Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, where the chef will take his frying pan with the food to the oven for that extra browning? You can do that with this set, it's so cool!The handles do get hot, but they're solid and feel secure. And on the aesthetic side, I love some of the shapes of the pots and pans in this set. Like the 6qt pot is the same size, but it's skinnier and taller than your standard pot which tends to be wider. Heating is even on my gas stove, and the set is supposed to work on induction, too.Cleaning is simple, and the brushed nickel finish looks so sleek without being flashy. Calphalon has always had dependable, sturdy cookware, and this set is no different. I love it!

Great set, however issue with lids retaining water The pans are great if you follow the process of heat, slightly oil, then cook. I hand wash and towel dry. My concern are the lids. It retains water in the lip between the glass and metal frame. Took several days to dry, I had to stand it inside of an oven that was slightly warm until most of it drained or likely evaporated.

Love Absolutely love these pans. They are very non stick, I was very impressed with this. Heavy duty and easy to clean.

Cooks evenly. Excellent quality.

Love them This is a great set of pans, the food cooks up nice and even, the curved rim keeps drips off the side of the pans, easy nice clean up
