Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8 Piece Cookware Set Review Summary

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8 Piece Cookware Set offers 2 different size omelet pans, covered saucepan, stock pot and sauté pan non stick cookware for everyday or gourmet cooking. It cooks evenly and easily while being attractive in the kitchen. Lefluerlilly says, “I could'nt believe how well they perform.” Most reviewers agree that they are not only easy to cook with but easy to clean too. It is important to point out that this cookware has silicon handles and you may need time to get used to how hot they can be so use caution. They are more expensive than many other 8 piece non stick cookware sets, but our reviewers agree with The Bard when it states “It is, hands down, without a doubt the best set of cookware I have ever owned.” Read more helpful non stick Cookware Reviews to find a set or just that perfect pot or pan you need in your kitchen.

Calphlon Cookware

It is some of the best cookware I have used and now have. It is non-stick, cooks evenly, never have to use high heat when cooking. handles are not hot when you have to pick up the cookware. food is very tasty, meats very tender,and it cleans very easily.

Bottom-Line: If you are ready to step up to real no-nonsense cookware, make it Calphalon Nonstick Cookware.

I do most of the cooking in my household.  I enjoy cooking, it relaxes me and I like to experiment with different spices and dishes.  Sometimes my dishes turn out the way they were supposed to,...

I am a mother of five and grandmother of ten and I do alot of cooking and love good quality cookware. 

These types of non-stick cookware are great in the beginning but over time they seem to peel their inner non-stick lining.  Even when you use the plastic utensils they still peel over time. 

I just don't believe that this is very healthy for any person.

I had received this set for my Birthday from a friend. When we unpacked the set we noticed the 8 Quart pot was scratched on the interior. This made the non-stick aspect of the pot worthless. I gave the pots back to my friend and he returned them to Amazon and had a new set sent out. When we received the new set the 8 quart pot again had scratches inside the pot. I thought I would contact Calphalon to inquire about the damage and see what they had to say. I called the Calphalon customer service number but was on hold for so long I gave up. In retrospect I would spend the extra money and stay away...

I thought that by buying a well-known brand like this that I would be getting high quality cookware that's been tested in everyday use.  The functionality of the pots and pans are great... non-stick, even heating.  But what I was a little disappointed with is that the handles on the pots/pans as well as the covers get hot so that you must use a potholder to handle them while cooking.

I love this cookware!  I is extremely durable, and it has lasted me many, many years.  The inexpensive pots and pans I originally bought have all pooped out on me, and I have replaced them gradually with anodized cookware over the years.  What a truly spectacular difference!  I have had some of my anodized cookware for going on 6 years now, and they all could pass for almost new.  Amazing, considering they have been soaked, put in the dishwasher, and occasionally had metal utensils used on them, all of which are strongly not recommended by the manufacturer.  They will develop a build up on...

The Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8 Piece Cookware set is just amazing! When I cook, my food never sticks. Even the stickiest of foods come off clean. There is no dirty residue and they are extremly easy to clean. I use my Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8 Piece Cookware set everyday. The handles don't get too hot, but you should wear mits when lifting the lids off of boiling water! My food cooks evenly and I am not ashamed to leave my pots and pans out because they are very attractive. They go with everything! The pans are easy to use and they aren't too heavy to lift. Even my kids use them.... review »

MY REVIEW IS ON HARD ANODIZED NONSTICK COOKWARE. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER BELIEVED THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE INVENTED A BETTER COOKWARE,THAT WAS SCRATCH RESISTANT,AND EASY TO CLEAN UP,WITH NO SOAKING AND SCRUBBING OF BURNT OR COOKED ON HARD TO CLEAN BARBEQUED OR BAKED ON MESS. WELL ALL THAT SCRUBBING AND SOAKING POTS AND PANS IS OVER,WHEN IT COMES TO HARD ANODIZED COOKWARE THE CLEAN UP IS A BREEZE. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THIS COOKWARE CAN BE USED BOTH ON TOP OF THE STOVE AND IN THE OVEN AT THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE SETTINGS. ONCE YOU TRY HARD ANODIZED COOKWARE YOU WON'T WANT TO COOK IN ANYTHING ELSE,TRY IT FOR... review »

I love my Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 8 Piece Cookware Set, I bought mine at costco on sale for 80$. I know its slightly on the expensive side but this is the best pots and pans I've ever used. They dont scratch easily and i us them everyday. I can stick them in the dish washer and they dont  rust or anything like that. I got myself a red hot set, I'm sure they have many colors to chose from that can also match your kitchen as well. Bottom line is i love it and worth buying. Dont get yourself a cheap set that you will have to replace every few years and stick to something dependable and beautifull.... review »

I love my Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware Set.  I use it almost daily to feed my family of 3.  The first set peeled after a few years, so I took it back to Bed Bath & Beyond.  Calphalon offers a lifetime warranty, but you have to mail in the offending pieces for replacement.  I had neither the time nor the energy to take it to the Post Office and send it back.  Bed Bath & Beyond stands behind Calphalon's lifetime warranty and replaced the entire set for free, even the pieces that were still fine!!

I thought that these were very expensive, compared to what I usually buy. But they are worth every cent. I could'nt believe how well they perform. The handles get a little warmer than I'm used to but, overall I think they are a great product an well woth the money I paid.
