Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
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

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible
These pots and pans are terrible!!! Everything that I have cooked in them, even after greasing the pan has stuck and burnt on. I will never buy another Calphalon item. I am hoping they will send me all my money back because these pans are useless to me!!!!!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Unexpected low quality
I purchased a Calphalon commercial hard anodized set about 10 years ago. It has held up well even with my habit of dropping lids (yes, the lids do bend if you drop them on edge). Having used baking soda and taken the anodized finish off my 2.5q pot, I looked for a replacement. This set provided a 2.5q shallow pot, as well as the casserole and fry pan I was also looking for. Calphalon does tell you not to use baking soda in the pots. Ok, the shallow pot was not the one I wanted but was accurately ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible Craftsmanship___EVERYTHING STICK TO THESE
Terrible unfinished handles. Did a monkey with a file finish them off? They come in a white blank box with loose cardboard between the pots that have moved all around during shipment. The pots were all damaged and chipped. Dont waste your time with this set. Aweful......Everything sticks and good luck cleaning them..OUCH.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - No good!
I didn't like this cookware set because every type of food stuck to it. I cook curries and fry things but everything stuck to the bottom of these pans, which made cleaning a nightmare. I had to return it and I completely love the new cusinart cookware.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent cookware for an awesome price!!
I love this cookware. Hard-anodized does cook different than any other cookware, but once you use it and get used to it, you won't want to cook on anything else! I have a set of Calphalon non-stick and stainless that I still occasionally use, but prefer cooking on these.

Yes, you have to use a little oil, and yes, food can "stick" to it, but like everyone else has said, just let it sit and it will release when it is done. I have never had better looking, or tasting, sauteed chicken ... Read More
