The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while offering the high-quality construction associated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, attractive look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or special occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalon's original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line--but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also convenient is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them. This set has all the pieces necessary for daily family cooking: 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart covered saucepans, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and an 8-quart covered stockpot. The pans' exteriors are made of hard-anodized aluminum for superior heat distribution. The interiors are coated with a nonstick surface that is resistant to peeling, chipping, flaking, or cracking. This cookware has ergonomic brushed stainless-steel handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the pans for durability. The lids are tempered glass--for viewing food as it cooks--encircled by a stainless-steel band that complements the cookware and fits snugly into the pans. All Contemporary Nonstick cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde What's in the Box

 Really nice to cook with May 4, 2008

Food cooks better, more evenly than the cheap Tfal I had. No sticking problems. Would like a smaller pan in the set. Easy to clean the interior with the Dobie pad. More trouble to keep the exterior clean. The large sauce pan came with a scratch on the rim and I am considering exchanging it. Love the clear glass tops. Handles do get hot. Pots are heavy and have aggravated my tennis elbow.
 Non-stop WOWs from all the guests! Just that alone is enough April 25, 2008

Bought this set for my mom. She shows it to all her guests, it has been non-stop WOWs. Just that alone is well worth it, not to mention it cooks wonderfully.
*Even heating - This is the 1st thing you'll notice when you upgrade to a high quality pot from a $10 pot.
*Faster heating
*Long lasting non-stick, even for abusive users
*Handles stays cool
*Can take the 450 degree oven
*Warranty actually works, take it to any store that sells Calphalon and they'll replace it.
If you enjoy cooking and can afford a little luxury, this is definitely recommended. Remember to buy another cheap item so you get the 12" wok free, that wok is another awesome product.
 Loved it at first, but now HATE it!!! February 18, 2008

When replacing my cookware several years ago I decided to spend the extra money for this brand/style because of it's excellent reputation as being durable. Initially I LOVED the cookware. Lids fit well, heated evenly, nothing stuck to the surface. After about a year, despite following all care instructions, the non-stick surfaces stopped working. Thinking I just got a defective set, I sent it back to Caphlon. No problem with the return, they replaced the pieces without hesitation. Almost a year later that set too had the same sticking issues. The skillet I have sent back several times.
I'm tired of paying shipping and dealing with the hassle of replacement. I'm not alone in my complaints. A neighbor has the same cookware and the same issues. We are both in search of new cookware. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet, but it will definitley not be Caphalon!

I purchased a 12 piece set of Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware for my wife's birthday. This is the second set that I have purchased for her. A few years back we bought the Calphalon Commercial Nonstick set and added pieces over the years. We recently decided that we needed to send back several pieces due to the nonstick surface starting to come off. We however could not send them off to be replaced (per the lifetime warranty)because we did not have any other cookware to use.
So...once we had the new set we used the box they came in to pack up the Calphalon Commercial Nonstick pieces that needed to be returned, enclosed a letter stating what the problem was, spent $20 to ship and insure, and less than two weeks later had new pieces to replace the old ones. Since they no longer make the Calphalon Commercial Nonstick pieces they were replaced with the Calphalon One Nonstick pieces. No hassle whatsoever!
We now have every type of pot and pan you could imagine and it is a mixture of Calphalon Commercial Nonstick, Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick and Calphalon One Nonstick. My wife loves it all! To show off her collection we purchased a pot/pan rack that attaches to the wall. With all of the pots and pans hanging my wife has taken such good care of them you cannot tell which ones are the oldest.
We both would highly recommend any product from Calphalon that has the Lifetime Warranty. When we initially purchased our first set of Calphalon we were like everyone else...just not sure about spending that much money on a set of pots and pans. We however was in a never ending cycle of spending $100+ every year or so to replace our pots and pans. Nothing held up. We now know that even if there is some type of defect that causes a problem with a Calphalon product they will definitely stand by their name. My wife did not believe this until her replacement pots/pans arrived.
Excellent pots and pans May 24, 2007

After reading all the "positive" reviews, I was ready for a good set of pots and pans. I'm so tired of getting cheap pans and a few years later having to throw them away. Calphalon was originally my 2nd choice, but after reading reviews on the other brand (which will now remain nameless) this set had more positive reviews and I was willing to give them a try.
So far I just love these pans!! You barely have to use any olive oil, which makes for healthier cooking. As for some of the negative reviews, if you read the instructions in the 1st place and realize you CANNOT put these in the dishwasher, then you will have no problems. I have standard stainless steel pots that you have to hand wash as well-case in point, always read the instructions.
I thought men were bad for not reading those important pieces of paper enclosed with their new purchases (instruction manuals do not compute in their world, usually)! I'm not adverse to getting my hands wet-to do otherwise is just plain laziness! Dishwashers are for dishes, silverware and glasses-do your pots and pans by hand. Clean up on these Calphalon pans is a snap. Just make sure they cool completely before you put in hot soapy water.
I ordered the Calphalon nylon cooking utensils to use with my pots, another no-brainer-just read your instructions and follow them.
I'm glad I purchased this set and the positive reviews helped me make my decision, so to those smart people I say "THANK YOU" for sharing your experience and expertise. I plan on using these for MANY years!!
