So dissapointed
I got the 10 piece hard anodized cookware and within 6 months the coating was flaking off. I took them back to the store and was just going to return them but I was told they must have been defective and I was convinced to try a new set.. I always hand wash and never used tools other than the ones that Calphalon makes. Well, again the coating started to flake even though I was very careful to be sure only the tools made bt Calphalon were used, they were washed, dried and stored properly. It has been 4 years and I didnt save the paperwork so I have a set of pots and pans that are just taking up space because I don't have the heart to throw them away. I would think twice before opting for these pots and pans.

Non-stick
These claim to be non-stick, we have had our pots a while now. But everything is starting to stick to them, even when we use a small amount of oil/butter. I do not use a dishwasher, so these have been cleaned and cared for from day one.

Need advice
I love my calphalon pans. On Christmas day was cooking green beans in my 2 1/2 quart pan. Got distracted and let the liquid evaporate. The beans burned and so did the bottom of the pan. Is there any way to get the burn marks off the bottom of the pan without ruining the finish??

Good product, easy to clean
Great pots and pans that are easy to clean, cook with, and become part of the family. We love them but had a difficult time with fed ex delivery and tracking. Several calls to Calphalon and fed ex helped. Sale price was attractive.

Ten piece pots
You can cook in butter without burning the food. Clean up is extremely easy. The glass covers wash perfectly in the dishwasher. I prefer to hand wash the pots, but it’s easy.

Glass and metal covers
Dishwater remains in covers. Overall I like the cookware but very poor design on cover.

Easy to Clean and Easy to Cook
I purchased this set of pots and pans in 2015 and still love the set today. My sister-n-law raved about Calphalon pots and pans and I took her suggestion. I'm so happy I decided to buy them. I also purchased the bakeware and find them well made and a joy to use.

I love my cookware!
As a Mother and home cook, I am so very thrilled with my purchase (in 2015). Yep, 6 years ago and still working like a charm. This product is amazing - and customer support beyond stellar. I dropped a lid to my stockpot, it shattered on my kitchen floor. I reached out about purchasing a replacement lid - only to find out my actual set had been discontinued. To my surprise, a 'replacement' was mailed to me - yes, a whole new stockpot! I highly recommend Calphalon to all my family and friends. A tried and true, loyal customer!!

Not Calphalon Quality
I purchased this set to replace my older Calphalon cookware set and it's not very good quality at all. The Simply Calphalon logo is not even stamped on the glass lids and the 2 quart sauce pan lid came damaged. I requested a replacement but Calphalon stated it is not available and sent me a different replacement.

Over 20 years old
I bought a set at a food show over 20 years ago. I have loved them with no problem. I am looking at buying a new set. My 12 inch skillet is my fave and is needing replacing. I believe mine is the pro series. I think I got my money’s worth. Love them

Non Stick Finish Disappointing
Have had this set four years, gentle use, no dishwasher, proper utensils etc. The non stick finish is flaking off most pieces, I don’t care to include these flakes in my cooking so the whole set just sits in the cabinet now and I use other odds and ends for cooking. Very disappointing.

Poor Quality
Not non-stick. Had to use spray with them. And even then food stuck to pans. Coating wearing off. And after only a few years, they look and function like they are 20 years old. They look disgusting and never clean. Just junk. Going back to T-FAL.

Should last longer for the money
I registered and received this set at my bridal shower in August 2011. Same as other similar reviews they worked amazing for a while, but for the past 6 months or more, almost everything sticks when I cook it. I also do not use anything but non-stick utensils, hang them to store, hand wash only, etc. For the price, they should definitely last longer

Absolutely wonderful!
These are the best set of cookware that I've ever had the joy of using. I have used these for everything. To clean them, I only have to take and wipe them out gently. It's one of those easy clean ups. These don't stick and the coating is strong. I love these things very much.
I got these for free in hopes of my review. All thoughts are my own and no other's. These were given in exchange for my unbiased review.

Favorite pans ever!
I've had my simply calphalon pans for 6 years now and they are as good as new! I've followed the manufacturer's recommendations for care and they work perfectly! I hand wash only and they come clean so easily. Love these pans! I can't wait to order the Dutch oven pan!

Didn't last two uses
Got for xmass 2015 and used the 2qt pan twice before the coating came off making oatmeal. I only cook with a bamboo untensils and didn't realize this until after we ate and washed it. Great! I can literally remove it with my thumb nail. I have 5+ year old calphalon pans that are just fine.

Great set
I was very surprised at the low review scores posted here on this pan set. Even the outside of the box they were packed in clearly states that the pans are not dishwasher safe (I wouldn't put mine in the dishwasher regardless), and my set has held up very well following the manufacturer's recommendations for care. They are a good value for the money and I have used them for everything from basic omelettes to marinaras, soup to stews. I just purchased a second set for my daughter.

I love this cookware. Works like a charm on my glass top stove. All the pieces fit in with my life style. Love, love, love it.

Their Ok
These are really nice pans when you first get them, however after a year and using plastic only on them they are ruined already. We ONLY hand wash out pot's and pan's and they have never been in the oven. Just basic cooking not even anything on high high heat. Well I'm new to kitchen cook wear and asked for a set again this year for Christmas (defective) and figured if I ordered all silicone to try and see if that prevents the scratches. I'll be back next year and will let you know how this second set holds up after I get the defective replaced.

NOT for the dishwasher
Warning!!!! Don't buy these and some of their other series of pans if you are modern and use the dishwasher. The bottoms get "dusty" and leave a black trail on towels etc. It doesn't seem to be a practice for their retailers to warn you of this.

Does not last
My 10pc Simply Calphalon Nonstick set was purchased in 2012. Worked marvelously until this year. The slick interior finish is completely gone. I have taken pains to watch the videos and read about use and care when I bought the set. I use the 10" omelette pan every day, sometimes twice a day. These expensive pans should last longer. I still use my Farberware fry pan from my wedding 40 yrs ago! It looks great but I wanted to try nonstick so I chose Calphalon for their reputation. I am very disappointed.

Disappointed!!
Bought a set last Christmas for my mother and they look terrible. She only uses rubber utensils (that's all she has), and all the pans have deep scratches. I also had to get her a different sauce pan, as these pans stain much too easy.

5 Quart Cook Pan/w th Drainage Hole Lock Top
We really loved this pan as my husband loves pasta & it was so easy to fix using this pan as I could drain the water by simply locking the top & pour the water out. We moved in June from NC to MI and we just had the opportunity to use this pot again. We found that the top of the pan has warped -- it could be the pan that has warped; we are not sure. All of our pans were carefully packed and moved by professionals. We have tried several times to attach the top to the bottom pan but are not able to do so. Others have tried as well with no luck. Needless to say we are very disappointed as this was the one pan that we used frequently. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this same issue? And what recourse do we have to replace this pan? We take VERY good care of our pans -- they are always hand washed.

Great at first but don't seem to last
We received these pots and pans as a gift for our wedding back in 2009 and at first my wife and I loved them. They heated well, food didn't stick, and cleaned up very easily. Over the last year the pots nonstick finish have gradually worn off on the bottom almost completely. The pans however have held up great through the years and still have their nonstick coating intact. We have only used plastic or bamboo utensils, never metal. We also never put them in the dish washer and only hand wash them with Scotch Brite non stick sponges. Granted they are six years old now but we hoped they would have lasted longer than this as they weren't a cheap gift.

Nice look-poor quality
The exterior finish gets a white haze after being cleaned in the dishwasher, have to scrub it off by hand. The interior non stick started to come off about 30 days after use. Small spots in the bottom of the pans, almost perfectly round, not chips or scratches.

no better than a store brand set.
Following owners manual instructions do not help. These skillets and pans still warp. Not even a month went by and the non stick coating started chipping. Nothing but wood or plastic utensils are used, no scratchers are used on the interior. They are not stacked, the hang on a pot rack. I spent too much money to have this set of cookware last no longer than a store brand.

Not worth the money!
We bought a set of Simply Calphalon last year and I am so disappointed.
The material these pans are made of is much thinner than the Calphalon pans I am used to. Some of the pans were bent slightly and the lids do not fit correctly.
Simply Calphalon means cheap materials, not like other Calphalon products I have purchased and love.

Not dishwasher safe!
I wish it would have been made more clear that is product was not dishwasher safe! I put it in the dishwasher and the exterior finish all rubbed off.
