Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We registered for this cookware as a wedding gift. We love the tempered-glass lids so we can see what's cooking. The pans have a nice substantial feel and work well with our smoothtop range. The stay-cool riveted handles are great.
At first we loved the nonstick coating, it did what it was supposed to do. However, we have had the pans for less than three years (2 years 8 months) and the nonstick coating is already beginning to come off. We have followed the directions for care and cleaning, and not used any metal utensils on them, so I am very disappointed that the coating hasn't lasted longer. We do cook frequently with high heat, but on a good set of cookware that shouldn't make the coating come off this quickly. There are little hairline scratches (probably from stir-frying shrimp or steaming shellfish) where the coating is now beginning to clump up and rub off when we wash it.
It's sad, because we cook a lot, we love this cookware and were hoping it would last us a long time. Looks like I'll have to replace some of our frequently-used pieces, and this time I'll be going without a nonstick coating.

Calphalon One Infused Anodized 10-Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These pans put together the best qualities of cookware....
non-stick and stick
Amateur cooks will expect these pans to be "fully" non-stick. If you expect that, then buy a pan for $9.99 at your local department store.
These pans have non-stick qualities but not fully non-stick. You want food to stick somewhat, which in turn makes the fond on the bottom of the pan, which you turn into a sauce or gravy.
The stick qualities give you the proper browing and carmalization your looking for in cooking foods on your stove top.
Clean up is a snap! It is best to use Bar Keepers Friend as this removes all residue from the pan. I have found that regular dishcleaners do not work properly.
These are expensive, but they will be the only pans you ever need to buy, if you take care of them properly. Do not throw them into cold water right from the stove. All pans will warp if you do this.
They are a nice heavy weight gauge too.
As a professional chef, I have used many brands of pans and these are the best currently on the market. I do not use them in the restaurant as they are expensive and they would get destroyed in our fast paced atmosphere, but I have 2 complete sets at home and you get what you pay for. Perfection!
I mentioned before, if you expect these pans to be totally non-stick, then look for something else.

This exciting hybrid combines qualities of both traditional metal and non-stick cooking surfaces. Now not only can you brown, sear, and reduce sauces as the recipe intended, but you can also breathe a sigh of relief as you won't have a battle removing food and stains from the pan following use. How did this happen you ask? CALPHALON ONE INFUSED ANODIZED is manufactured with a revolutionary anodization process. Both interior and exterior surfaces are infused with an advanced release polymer which actually penetrates below the surface of the metal, into its very pores, offering superb durability and versatility. The intrinsic properties of aluminum ensure fast and even heating, as you've come to expect from Calphalon. Every kitchen needs fry pans in a range of sizes. The 10 inch size is handy for sauteing a couple of chicken breasts, scrambling eggs for breakfast, or making a quick sauteed veggie side dish.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 10-Inch Omelet Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are a lot of things to love about this pan. First, it's heavy enough to keep eggs from scorching. Second, it's truly non-stick...even using cooking spray, our omlettes slide out of the pan in one beautiful piece. Third, it's got great heat conductivity, which allows for even cooking (critical with omlettes, fried eggs, etc.) Fourth, it's so easy to clean, I reach for it for more than just cooking eggs. We use it as a small saute pan and our vegetables never stick.
The pan can also be put in the oven to keep food warm, a nice feature. This was a real find.

The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick collection is an update of the popular Professional Nonstick II line with conveniences such as versatile vessel shape and long handles that stay cool on the stovetop. Rounded interior edges and a flared opening ease access during food preparation and clean-up. Add to this a three-coated nonstick interior for quick food release and effortless washing and this pan becomes ideally suited to today's fast-paced households. The heavy-gauge anodized aluminum construction provides excellent conductivity and even heat distribution while the riveted, steel handle securely holds with ergonomically-designed comfort. Appropriate for both stovetop and oven use, the pan safely withstands temperatures up to 450 degrees F but shouldn't be used under a broiler. Metal utensils and abrasive cleaners or brushes should be avoided and hand washing is recommended. Product comes with Calphalon's lifetime warranty.

Calphalon LRS1805P Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this pan to tackle a prime rib roast for Christmas dinner. The pan itself is very heavy, solid and distrubutes the heat well. One thing I do not like about other roasting pans that I have purchased is sometimes the pan juices seem to burn in the oven which results in no "pan goodness" to make gravy with. I have used this pan multiple times and never had that issue- the bits and pieces will brown, but do not get a burned flavor. I attribute this to the construction of the pan and the heaviness of the weight. I would give the pan a solid 5 stars, but the rack that comes with this pan immediately started peeling and rusting even though I ran it in the dishwasher and promptly removed it. So what is a girl to do?
I bought the William Bounds silicon roasting rack (from Amazon) and now use this with my pan. I could have purchased a replacement rack for $19 or paid shipping and handling to get a replacement rack through the warranty, but I have been very impressed with the William Bounds rack and it fits perfectly in the pan. Clean up is a snap- both pieces go right in the dishwasher and come out looking as if I just pulled them out of the box for the first time. Plus, the WB rack has a slightly smaller grid so even on the coldest of days I can have familiy over (about 20 people) and still serve roasted chicken breasts with baked potatoes and salad in a snap.
