Because I am the cook in the family, two Christmases ago my family purchased a 14 piece set of Calaphon cookware for me. It replaced our aged and lightweight set of Revereware. This was a generous gift, coasting nearly $400. For all its cost, the Calaphon product is highly disappointing. Here are my issues:
- The selection of pots and pans makes no sense. There are many near duplicate sized large pans, few medium sized pans and no small pans in a 10 pan set.
- The lids won't interchange. Several pans are within 1/2" diameter of each other but they won't share the lids. Some pans came with no lids and you can't interchange the lids because they are just a little different than the lid sizes of the pans with lids.
- The pans are rediculously heavy. This creats two problems. First, you HAVE to use both hands to lift a pot full of water or a frying pan with grease. This makes pouring off liquid difficult because you have no free hand for stiring or doing other work, and I'm a 190lb guy is good shape! Secondly the heavy weight of pans makes heating the pans up excessivly long. Boiling a pot of water seems to take forever and you need to pre-heat a frying pan for a full five minutes or more if you want the food to sear. We cook with propane, which has a low BTU content compared to gas, so this is a big problem.
- The handles are secured by thick rivits. This wouldn't seem like an issue until you put a steamer basket into a pan; you can't get it back out because it hangs up on the rivits.
- The gaskets of the lids leak fluid when the pan is hot. I don't know if this is from the steam in the pot or from left over dishwater from cleaning. It looks a little soapy.
All in all, if this were not a gift, I would have taken these pans right back or at this point just thrown them away and gotten something different. But it's hard to tell your family that you're not happy with a $400 gift.
Don't get sucked in by those gift dispalys at Macy's. This is not a good gift.

My wife and I got this set of pans for our wedding 5 years ago. Initially we were blown away by how much better they are than the average Teflon non-stick pans. We don't eat out often and we have been overall delighted with the set.
The pans that we use the most, however, after 5 years were starting to stick to food and were generally not working well. Since we like the set so much we went to bed bad and beyond to buy a new replacement pan for over $100. In the store, the salesperson overheard us talking, confirmed that we got the set through our registry with them and handed us a brand new pot and we walked out the door. No forms. No hassle. Easy.
In review, excellent pans but they won't last you indefinitely. However, who cares when you can waltz into a store that sells them and return them with relatively little hassle.

I'm still hopeful that the coating isn't as poisonous as the regular teflon pans.
As other reviews have said, you can't soak this, scrub this, dish-wash this, or anything else fun. And who hasn't let a pan sit overnight with some water in it when you finished dinner late? Bang, the warranty is void and you have some permanent scratches on the pan (apparently water can loosen the finish? not very 'permanent' by my book then).
I don't know what else to suggest yet :( We got these for our wedding and are shopping for new ones - expensive for only a year or two of work!

I bought these pans a couple weeks ago after A LOT of searching and investigating different brands. I was replacing an 10+ year old t-fal set as well as misc. Cuisanart pots & pans. I was willing to pay more for a good set, but I am a bargain hunter by nature. I had one Calphalon omelet pan I really liked, so I ended up buying this set. I investigated All-clad, Circulon, Cuisanart, Anolon, and Calphalon. My previous cuisanart nonsticks were flaking after a couple years of use. The main reason I settled on this set was the solidness and weightiness of the pans. They are heavy and sturdy. If you are looking for a lightweight set, this is not it. I did not purchase my set from Amazon. Several other sites were the same price or a little less with the addition of free pans or baking sets with your purchase (which Amazon did not offer). You can find good deals if you do a little internet searching. I also was trying to decide between the hard anodized and nonstick. If you want very little cleaning, go with nonstick. Hard anodized need a little elbow grease and food does stick at times. You have to use more fat for cooking. These pans are great because the inside is coated, but the rest of the pan is hard anodized, so even if you get stuff on noncoated parts, its easier to clean off. The handles are easy to handle. They get warm midway up, but most people use the middle & latter half for handling, so this is not an issue. I have cooked cheesy dishes, meats, chicken, eggs, pasta & all came out easily. They also heat evenly and I feel I've been able to use lower settings, so they must conduct heat pretty well. The only reason I gave 4 stars was due to the rivets. They are in the inside of the pans and are obviously not nonstick. If you cook sticky things like cheese, tomato sauces, etc it will stick to them. It can take some work at times to get that area clean all around the rivets. The large stock pot is not as big as I would have thought. It is taller, instead of wider to accomodate the 8 quarts. The lids are nice and heavy, so they don't slip with steam and you can watch your cooking without opening the pan or pot. In general this is a good set. Just shop around for pricing. Internet auction sites also have them pretty cheap and unused with free shipping. I spent under $250 shipped with the buy it now option and got 18% cashback by using "Live search" (MSN search engine available to everyone). I think the "One" line from Calphalon is its best since it incorporates nonstick and hard anodized technology. Even if you scratched the pan, you would have hard anodized underneath, so your stickiness would be minimal. I use only wooden or plastic utensils in this set. I've only had this a short while, but so far, its worth it, especially at the price I ended up with. Shop around & get it, you'll be pleased.

I purchased this cookware set five years ago. Initially, I was very happy with it. The handles stay cool even with high temps and the food cooked easily without sticking. After frequent use, the nonstick layer started peeling off the pans and I would find flakes of Teflon in my food. I always use wooden or plastic cooking utensils and never metal.
Do not put these in the dishwasher or your warranty will be void. I don't do it often but they have been in the dishwasher and even though Calphalon said that wasn't the cause of the problem, they won't replace any of my pans. I won't purchase anything from this company again.
