You can update your kitchen with this great looking 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: Pan from this set can 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 long handles stay cool during stovetop cooking and are oven-safe and lids are oven safe as well.
Heavy-gauge aluminum is responsive to temperature changes. These pans feature the original Calphalon hard anodized surface, which is non stick without the Teflon coating and worry about the peeling. You do not have to also worry about seasoning your hard anodized cookware as you would for cast iron. It does not rust, or react to food discoloration. It is oven and broiler safe.
This set includes 9-piece cookware set. The set weighs 26 pounds. Comes with life time warranty. The set consists of:
This set pieces covers basic for cooking. The lid on the larger casserole is domed to give 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.
If you just want skillets or stock pots, you can buy those but it is certainly cheaper to buy whole set together. Set is selling for $200 to $450. We have found best deal on Amazon right now.
Important Note: Since we wrote the review a few years ago, it has replaced this cookware set for this one. You can still buy this on a few online sites or on ebay as used cookware set but amazon and cooking.com no longer carry this cookware. We have kept this review for now.
