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

Third time buyer-love this cookware!!!!! May 9, 2008
Well, I suppose it's about time that I review this line of cookware...after all I just bought a third set plus all the extra pieces I could get! I bought the first set for myself almost 2 yrs ago...it was to replace a set of Farberware hard-anodized cookware that had a "lifetime" guarranty....well, after maybe 7 yrs of use, the coating was wearing off & the pans warped on my smooth cooktop, etc...so back they went. They were replaced with odd pieces, not even the same sizes either.
Oh well.
Talking to a co-worker, I learned how much she loved her Calphalon, so I decided to give it a try, buying just a single piece to start....I was sold!!! Bought myself a full set plus several extra pieces, all at great deals from Amazon.com. I also bought the same set & extras for my oldest daughter, a law student & gourmet cook (don't know when she finds the time). She loves hers too...so easy to care for & you don't have to worry about scratching them with metal utensils....Love the way yo can use a scouring sponge to clean them.
I do have a few pieces that are not part of the commercial line & they have the non-stick coating...also very nice, but I use them for different cooking, like eggs, etc. The commercial line is great for general everyday cooking.
Watch the prices tho, as they really do fluctuate...almost bought my first set at $249...then it dropped too $188....bought the second set within days for $176 & Amazon was gracious enough to credit me back the difference. When I saw the price drop recently to $149 I jumped on it & bought set #3 for our younger daughter.....her Christmas gift is in our basement! Just hope we can keep it hidden til then!!

Not the American-made Calphalon April 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is the Calphalon made in China, so it is much thinner and lighter than the American-made Calphalon option. If you need a sturdy professional quality, this is not it. Having bought this set on sale, I broke up the set and made some presents for some young people just starting out and setting up a beginning kitchen and who were not developed cooks. It would not be worth full-price. I wish Amazon would label country of origin, especially on products made by a manufacturer that produces in more than one country and where the level of quality is dependent upon which country made the product.

Best Calphalon Deal out there!!! April 3, 2008
I stumbled onto this fantastic deal a few weeks ago (supposedly a one day sale, although I see they are still offered for the price I purchased them for today). I've wanted this set of pans for as long as I can remember and this sale was too good to pass up. I replaced my set of Calphalon Everyday pans (little bumps on inside bottom of pans) and could not be happier! I was amazed at the browning quality offered! Can't recommend highly enough. Fantastic deal ($498 set for $149!!!!!). Worth every penny and then some!

Heavy Duty And Durable March 22, 2008
I read other reviews before purchasing this product I find that it is the best way to see if products are junk. I found this Calphalon 9 set to be extremely well made and durable. I have had this set a few months and they look the same as when it came out of the box. I even use them to bake in the oven. I prefer heavy duty well made and can take a beating and these pots and pans can take it.

Excellent Product March 15, 2008
The Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 9-Piece Set is a cooks dream come true. My only regret is that they weren't available 25 yrs ago.
