Amazon.com Review:
Update your kitchen with this handsome nine-piece cookware set from Calphalon. The charcoal-gray matte finish of the Commercial Hard-Anodized series not only looks sophisticated but is impressive in performance: it sears meats over medium heat, cooks evenly, and stays stick-resistant without having a nonstick finish that can eventually peel. Moreover, hard-anodized pots and pans are safe to use with metal utensils and under the broiler. Riveted on for strength, the stainless-steel Cool V handles stay cool during stovetop cooking and are oven-safe, as are the lids.

Covering all the basics, this set consists of a 2-1/2-quart covered shallow saucepan; 8-, 10-, and 12-inch open skillets; and 3- and 7-quart covered chef's casseroles. The lid on the larger casserole is domed to send moisture and flavors back into the pot for succulent meat dishes. You'll find low to medium heat is the best temperature range for this fast-heating cookware. After use, wash by hand. Though it's still covered by a lifetime warranty, Calphalon discontinued the Commercial Hard-Anodized line in 2004 and replaced it with Calphalon One Infused Anodized. --Ann Bieri

What's in the Box
9-piece cookware set. The set consists of: 2-1/2-quart covered shallow saucepan; 8-, 10-, and 12-inch open skillets; 3- and 7-quart covered chef's casseroles. 9 pieces total.

Product Description:
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.

- Learning Curve for Those of Us Who Grew Up on Non-Stick
I must admit that I was ready to put this set of Calphalon Commercial Cookware back into the box and ship it back.
But after reading through most of the reviews I realized that I did not know how to cook the old fashion way, that is to say the no non-stick way. So I bought a pump oil sprayer ($7.00 T.J.Max) and turned the heat down. Now I'm making perfect sunny side ups and over easy(s) like a pro.

- Great cookware for the price
I read all of the reviews on this set prior to buying, and I must say that even despite a great, low price on this, I almost canceled my order.I am SO GLAD that I did not!It is true what people say in these reviews, know what you are getting and how to use it/care for it.The size of these pans are wonderful.I have used every single one of these because the sizes are very practical for everyday cooking.There are times where things will stick to the pan (as expected) when they are browning ...

- Unsatisfied Customer
I was recommended by a friend to purchase this Nine piece Calpahn set. I was so excited when I received my Calphan nine piece set. I thew my other T-Fal set which I had for over ten years and it was still in usable condition. I used the calphan frying pan to do some eggs and noticed that it was sticking to the pan. Then I
said that I thought it was supposed to be non-stick. Several days later I tried the other frying pan and noticed that it was sticking again while frying some sausages. I really ... Read More

- I was so pleased
I own quite a few of the better cookware of varying brands including this one but I always seemed to missing frying pans of just the right size and oftentimes the other pots would be way too small or huge for my needs.I ordered this set because the price was right and there were two skillets that were larger than what I currently have.I was just so surprised to open up the package and see stuff that was just right for my needs,Watch for the price fluctuations though and since alot of the calphalon ...

- Great Deal for Good Pots and Pans
I recently took a cooking course at Calphalon where we used Calphalon pans. I liked the pans so I decided to purchase a set. What I didn't like was their price so I searched around on the internet and came up with Amazon's deal. They're not quite the same pans as Calphalon's premier brand, but they're good enough for me and the limited amount of cooking that I do.
As everyone has pointed out, they're not non-stick. I knew this when I bought them and am quite used to working with non-stick pans. You ... Read More
