Amazon.com Review
Comprising 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, 1-quart and 2-quart saucepans with lids, a 3-quart saute pan with lid, and a 6-quart stockpot with lid, this set outfits a small household with all the cookware basics in a contemporary style. A midweight, midpriced alternative to Calphalon's Professional and Commercial Nonstick cookware, the Simply Calphalon line is made of hard-anodized aluminum for scratch-resistance and quick, uniform heating. It's harder than steel and won't chip, crack, or peel. Inside, the pots and pans are coated with nonstick material for low-fat (or nonfat) cooking and easy food release. Handles are made of satin-finish stainless steel and stay cool on the stovetop. Lids are made of brushed stainless steel. Oven-safe to 375 degrees F, the cookware is safe with nylon, wood, and plastic utensils and should be hand washed to preserve the nonstick. --Fred Brack

5 out of 5 stars A Best Buy   December 27, 2003
The 8-peice version of these pans were rated a best buy by the most popular consumer rating magazine (CR). They may not be as good as the $500 set but most of us don't need that chef quality cookware anyway.


2 out of 5 stars Spend a little more to get better quality Calphalon   March 22, 2003

I've returned this set. The pans and non-stick parts seemed on par with Calphalon (worth the two stars), but the handles are designed horribly. There is absolutely no thought of ergonomics in this set--the handles are a not very comfortable and it's basically like a metal stick jammed into the side of a pot. I shudder to think how badly my hand would hurt picking up the larger saucepan once it was full. I realize that I could purchase handle sleeves and pot holders and such, but at this price, why should i?

I did quite a bit of research before choosing these pans and I couldn't be more pleased. I'm not a professional chef, just a mom trying to get dinner on the table. These pans heat quickly, cool quickly and hold a temperature so you're not constantly adjusting the stove. Cleanup is quick, another plus. If you're after snob appeal, get the professional set. If you're just a regular kitchen Joe/Joan, you'll love these.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for Bachelor Pad Cooking   January 14, 2003

I bought this Calphalon set because my old cheap-o non-stick pans got worn out. I wanted to get a good set of stuff without spending a fortune. I think this set is perfect for the price / performance ratio I was looking for.

I do not doubt the individuals that said this set was not as heavy duty at the professional and commercial Calphalon sets. But, I would imagine that for the majority of the people reading this review would be highly impressed with this product. For me, they cook heat up nicely, and cook evenly. I try to never use any oil or butter in my cooking and these non-stick pans works great. I have never had anything stick on them!

I was trepidations about the handles staying cool, but overall they stay nice and cool to the touch. The very base of the handles gets a little warm, but nothing to complain about and it will not burn your hands.

For me, the beginning avid cooker, I plan on using this set of Simply Calphalon cookware for many years to come.
