Simply Calphalon Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set

The Simply Calphalon Stainless line of cookware is an excellent alternative for those who prefer cooking in stainless steel and who desire Calphalon quality at a more budget price. This 10-piece set has all the basics to get your home kitchen up and running. The cookware includes 1-quart and 2-quart covered saucepans; a 3-quart covered sauté pan; a 6-quart covered stockpot; and 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans.

Made of attractive 18/10 brushed stainless steel, these pans have an aluminum core through their bottoms for even heat distribution. The stainless-steel loop handles are comfortable to grip, plus they minimize heat transfer so handles stay cool on the stovetop. Handles are held in place by sturdy stainless-steel rivets. The covers are made of tempered glass so you can monitor your food while it cooks and have a dome shape, which allows food to retain its moisture while cooking. The cookware and lids are oven-safe up to 450 degrees F so you dont have to dirty several pans to make one dish. All cookware in this line is 100-percent dishwasher-safe and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Review: great cookware---can't recommend highly enough
I bought the Calphalon simply stainless cookware 12 piece set (not offered any more?) and a couple extra open stock pieces over two years ago. It arrived within days with no shipping charge. This is the greatest cookware set I've ever owned. Sticking food is NOT a problem, and the cookware maintains a lovely appearance with really no special care. All the saucepans are stainless, but the 8- and 10-inch fry pans have a non-stick finish. The glass lids were a requirement, and I wouldn't ever go back to metal lids again. I would recommend this set, this line, to anyone who wants a nice-looking, nice-functioning cookware set that can go into the dishwasher. I would definitely buy this again, but I think this set will work well for years and years.
Customer Review: Excellent set
I saved for four months to purchase this set and was not disappointed in its performance. My only wish is that the 12-piece set which included the 4 quart sauce pan was still offered.


I have been cooking for many years and have used a variety of kitchenware. Recently I tried some a new kind that is not only very affordable but does and outstanding job. Their products require a little bit of additional care, but if you are looking for the best kitchenware for your money than the premium quality Caphalon One Nonstick cookware.

Why Calphalon One Nonstick Is The Best Kitchenware

Calphalon One Nonstick is a revolution in nonstick durability. The inside surface features a matrix of four interlocking nonstick layers, each of which contributes to the kitchenware's long-lasting performance. Calphalon One Nonstick delivers perfect food release with even the stickiest foods. There is no need to use added fats when cooking with Calphalon One Nonstick and low-fat cooking is a breeze. By means of an exclusive anodization process the exterior surface of Caphalon One Nonstick cookware is infused with an advanced polymer that prevents staining so that clean-up is effortless, both inside and out. These pans have been my go to kitchenware set ever since I got a set last year.

The only difficult thing with them is that you can not use a dishwasher to clean. Just soap and hot water should get the trick done. In addition you must wait until the pans are cool before attempting to clean them. Cleaning them while they are hot can ruin the finish, so wait until they cool down. At first I thought this was going to be a real problem, but the surface on the Caphalon pans is so well designed that they literally take seconds to clean. I know it may seem to be a chore to hand clean these, but think of all the room you will save in your dishwasher. In fact because of this you probably will end up actually saving time.

The best thing about these pans is how little oil it takes to cook in them. This not only helps to keep your diet low fat, but keeps your kitchen appliances clean as well. I have never been able to cook an egg as well as I can with my Caphalon pans. Eggs come out absolutely perfect every time.

If you still are convinced enough to even take a look at a Caphalon set, the last point is how relatively inexpensive they are. You can get a full set of ten pans for a couple hundred dollars. While this is not cheap if taken care of this should be the last set of pots and pans you will ever need. Hopefully you take my advice and take a look at a set today.
