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

Great for the $$:
I only know the Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized products manufactured in China, so I cannot compare products to the USA days of yore. I started with a 2-1/2-quart covered shallow saucepan and liked it so much I bought another. I bought the roaster pan, the 12" everyday pan and then a beautiful 8-1/2-quart pan (all on sale at Amazon for great prices). Each serves me well. Needing to replace some really worn Circulon non-stick pans, I recently bought the Calphalon 9-piece set on sale at Amazon for... more info
Excelente producto:
Es un producto cuya relación costo beneficio es magnífica, hay que estar pendiente de las fluctuaciones de su precio y aprovechar cuando esta en oferta.
El único secreto es cocinar a fuego lento para que no se peguen los alimentos.
Realmente lo recomiendo
Calphalon Warranty is Bogus - Buyer Beware:
I received a set of Calphalon pots several years ago. The outside surface scratches easily and requires a special cleaner. The pots also got worn away by repeated washings and are not dishwasher safe. Though the company claims to have a 10-year warranty, when I returned the pots due to my dissatisfaction, they didn't provide a store credit or a replacement set. In fact, Calphalon just sent them back to me. Even manager Tony didn't come through. I strongly recommend against this company and their products -... more info
The ONLY way to cook!:
No cookware on the market beats classic Caphalon Commercial for overall performance, reliability and maintenance. This was only our second set -- and in fact is more an extension of the first rather than a new one. The 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 -- everything you need to set up a basic serious kitchen. A few easy to remember directions and the only thing standing in your way of becoming a... more info
