 "I can't cook anything with this!" 2009-12-22
By Dax D. Carver (San Francisco, CA USA)
I was so excited to get the 10-piece set. Then, to much major disappointment, everything sticks to the frying pans! And DO NOT blame the cook. I'm so tired of other reviewers and Calphalon blaming the customer. That's an old marketing ploy to make customers feel inadequate, and I'm not buying it.



Yes, I freaking know this is not nonstick, so shut up. Yes, I have followed the directions to a tea each and every time I've used the pans: Heat the pan up to the necessary cooking temperature. Don't try to make it heat up faster, just wait. Then, and only then, put oil or butter in the pan. Then cook.



One poster said to never used aerosol cooking sprays. Well, Calphalon should be the one to say that if it's the case. According to their directions, cooking spray is okay as long as you spray the food prior to placing it on the pan and do not spray the pan directly.



I know how to cook. I know how to read. I know how to follow directions and I have.



I thought perhaps I didn't have enough oil (which is bad since I'm already trying to control my fat intake). So, I put more oil in the pan this morning for my eggs (cause I don't personally like stuck-on-pan eggs ... and just forget omelets). IT STILL STUCK! I have NEVER owned a pan of any kind that stuck with that much oil. This is crazy. What is making it stick? There's something wrong here.



It was highly recommended by the guy at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, but I have a feeling he would have highly recommended anything we asked him about just to get us out of his hair or to get us to buy something.



So, I guess I'll take the set back and exchange it for the Unison. This is disappointing because the Unison set doesn't even come with a 12" pan, which I need and it already cost $100 more.



OR, perhaps, I won't get Calphalon. All of my bakeware is Analon and the quality is so amazing.

 "Worth the investment" 2009-12-05
By J. VanOeveren (NYC, NY)
This set is perfect for any family that spends a lot of time in the kicthen and is definitly worth the investment. All the pieces are sturdy, cook evenly, and yes while they are technically not non-stick, all of our food, including eggs, have cooked perfectly. I read some of the other reviews concerned about damaged pans becuase of poor packaging. However, I talked to a Calphalon rep and they said that that problem had been resolved. Sure enough, our pans came wrapped safely in plastic and seperated by cardboard. No nicks or dents. You do need to follow recommended directions for cooking (i.e., heat up pans before adding oil) and keep your pans clean for optimal cooking. But, if you are a cooking enthusiast, there really is nothing like have a quality set of cookware without the worry of teflon flakes in your food. And with the lifetime warrenty and responsive customer service to top it off, this set has been wonderful.

 "Chef Review" 2009-10-20
By D. Levin
I am chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America. When I got married over a year ago I put these pans on my registry excited to finally have a really good set of pans like my parents. I was looking for the perfect pan that combines restaurant quality with home ease. Overall, they have been a big dissapointment. The 12 fry pan lost the flat bottom after it's first use. Food does stick to the bottom of the pans. I have learned if you leave the food, like a piece of chicken, in the pan till it's almost burn point, then, and only then, does it become "non stick." I will use these pans for a few years and then trade in to Calphalon under the warranty to something different.

 "Not Impressed After All..." 2009-08-31
By Megan (Seattle, WA)
When I first received these pans as a wedding present I LOVED them. They do sear food beautifully as promised. And they clean up pretty well, although you do have to hand wash them and use Bar Keeper's Friend to keep them looking nice, which is tedious. I just celebrated my 4 year wedding anniversary, and I am no longer impressed with these pans. They have not withstood the test of time as I had hoped. For starters, the 12" fry pan warped! I called customer service and I was told by Calphalon that this was caused by high heat settings and a burner smaller than the pan (I have a standard stove top, so my largest burner is definitely not 12" in diameter). I meticulously read and followed the care & use instructions when I received these pans and they conveniently did not mention this potential problem. My second gripe is that the surface dents and dings over time when you use metal utensils (which they say are ok to use...). At first this seemed like just a cosmetic problem for the pan, but the surface coating is starting to wear off now where the pan has been nicked (by my Calphalon metal utensils). There are metallic silver indents all over the inside of my pans now. As a result, I am getting more food sticking to my pans. So, I am not impressed. With very careful care, I think these pans would last and they do cook nicely. But really, there are so many precautions you must take while using them... it seems ridiculous given the price tag! There must be better products out there. I have friends that have Scanpan and they swear by them. Plus, they are environmentally friendly AND you can clean them in a dishwasher if you are in a pinch. I am going to try out those pans instead.
