Calphalon 15-Piece Pots and Pans Set, Stackable Nonstick Kitchen Cookware with Stay-Cool Stainless Steel Handles, Black

I love these pots and pans. They are non-stick, dishwasher safe, and oven safe. Everything stacks together and each pot/pan has a lid that is able to fit. I live in a small condo and have a small kitchen, so space saving but still quality was important for me. I love that I can start a recipe on the stove then stick the entire pot w/ lid in the oven if it needs to bake. I tend to hand wash them to save space in the dishwasher, but they are dishwasher safe and I have washed them in it. I would recommend using silicon coated cooking utensils with these to keep from scratching them. My only advice is to be careful with the lids, they are a thick glass, but still glass. I would pay attention to how you are stacking them (stack the lids separately), not dropping them etc. Also be aware that these are heavy! It doesn't bother me, but might be important to others.

My wife has been looking for a new set of pans for a while. Price was not really an object and we looked at some sets that were more expensive. The finalists came down to an AllClad set and these. As soon as I picked up similar size pans from both sets the decision was made. The handles on these pans are the VERY best I have encountered; they are comfortable and long enough. With the All Clad it was like they set out to design an uncomfortable handle - and succeeded! We settled on the 13 piece set as the best bang for the buck; in addition during these pandemic times it was a set I could find in stock. The pans non stick works well and needless to say cleaning is effortless. They transfer heat well and heat up past enough. They claimed that the handles stay cool and with one exception I can say that they do. We just cooked up two large batches of hash browns cooking in ghee on a pretty hot gas stove at medium high and on any other pans we've had I would have had to use a pot holder. It is very impressive that this handle was cool. The one pan where the handle gets a little warm is one that is not included in this set; their 1.5 qt sauce pan. FWIW the 1.5 qt pan is a smaller OD than the 2.5 and 3.5 qt which is good. We liked the 2.5 and 3.5 qt sauce pans but wanted one smaller. In addition we also bought the 12 qt stock pot - that is one huge pan! During our annual soup supper that will hold the most requested soup! A final word on the stackability as this set is the Space Saver version of their Premier line. I am happy to report that it works well and our pans are now far easier to access and take up less space. And lastly their Premier line is still made in the US. That was a real consideration for us. These pans are not cheap but I think they are worth the money. They claim that it is ok to use metal utensils but we want to keep them working well for a long time so have gone to synthetic utensils like OXO ladles and silicone covered spatulas and wooden utensils from Earlywood.

Just purchased and recieved last week. I am not usually one that'll spend this amount of money on pots and pans or buy a name brand pots and pans. I normally stick to the basic. However, basic is not always the easy to go. These pans are so far, great. In the pricier side (hence 4 stars in value). Which in addition to bad reviews I almost didn't purchase, the price is a bit scary if you're not used to paying this heavy price tag. You'd think they'd be the best thing since sliced bread near-perfect. They are close to being perfect and the reason why I'm writing this review. They have a heaviness to them I like. Not too heavy. The handles only get hot closer to the actual pan. Otherwise, it is true, stay cool handles. I really like the stacking/ nesting feature. Very accommodating in tight, small spots. I do not have a lot of under counter space. Yes, depending on space, you may have to pull out a nested stack to get to the pan(s) you desire but I don't find that an issue, yet. They seem to wash well in dishwasher and by hand if so desired. Very easy to clean. I use teflon or rubber utensils when cooking. The lids are nice. They fit exactly to the pan. There is no steaming outside. The only draw back to this is, if you don't want moisture, water in your dish that you're cooking. When you lift lids, such as boiling water, there is evaporation that does drip into food. I wish there were a few small breathing wholes in lid to prevent the extra evaporation. I haven't yet used in oven yet. I do have a gas stove and have not found issue with flame marks as of yet either. Time will tell how well these pans will hold up. They're backed with a lifetime warranty. Register your product! So far, so good. I'm pleased. I'd reccomend. Will update in future if any changes occur.

Such a complete set and exceeded my expectations. The pots, pans and glass tops are constructed of high quality materials and are solid! The weight of each item is significant, but not in a bad way. Really love how they feel in your hand while cooking. Aside from their great appearance and space saving design, they perform very well on my gas range. They conduct heat evenly and this is the best set of cookware I’ve owned. I previously bought Circulon sets from Costco for $300 every two years. I hope this investment and satisfaction will continue for years...so far I highly recommend these.

We have always loved the Calphalon hard-anondized cookware and this set is really nice because it stacks nicely in our cupboard.

These truly do cut down on the space that pans normally take up. They work wonderfully. I initially received a set with damaged pans, which from the looks of it were from shipping and not defects. They sent a replacement set out immediately and they were in perfect condition. I have already recommended this set to friends and family and don't have any complaints with the quality as all. As I said, they are well worth the price!

Not a good purchase. Lids did not fit properly Chips were out of pots. Very disappointing purchase which I returned . Had to pay an expensive restocking fee which was offensive.

I havent had them long but the value (I paid $600 CDN after taxes) and the condition have been great. Wife complained they were too heavy. For me however, they are wonderful. Look great. Cook great. Clean easy. Durable (thus far).

Three pieces (out of 15) in our order came damaged. Two pots have sizeable chips on the edges while another pot is warped (the lid won't fit and the pot doesn't sit flat on the stove element). We contacted Calphalon Customer Service and received a long list of all the things WE had to do, including sending various pictures from various angles of the damaged pots, which we did as requested. Over two weeks have passed with no response even after two follow-up messages. While the pots that are undamaged are great and we like the set overall, we are very disappointed in the damaged pots and the tone/lack of response from Calphalon Customer Service. Expected more based on the expensive price for this cookware.
