Customer Ratings & Reviews

Cookware is incredible! We are foodies and are constantly cooking. These are phenomenal. And delivery was so fast! And at Christmas!!!!

Go look under your counter, you know, where you keep your cooking pans, and if you're anything like us, you'll likely see pots and pans and lids and pots and pans and lids strewn all over the place. Let's face it, it's unwieldy, messy, difficult to manage and now, completely unnecessary. Enter the 10 piece Calphalon Premier cook set, which includes a 10" and 8" fry pan, a 2.5 qt and 3.5 qt saucepan, a 3 qt saute pan and a 6 qt Dutch oven, plus 4 flat glass lids to provide cover for all. And all this greatness stacks in the most remarkable way. In a fraction of the space all your other pots and pans take, you can have one simple stack of the best quality cookware out there, with room to spare. Founded in 1963, Calphalon has become synonymous with high end cookware. There's a good chance are you already have Calphalon cookware you've cooked on for years. That's the great thing about Calphalon cookware. It is very durable, it's dishwasher safe and it's made of the highest quality hard-anodized aluminum, three layer non-stick cooking surface and durable stay cool stainless steel handles. There may be other non-stick cookware options you can buy for less money, but few provide the quality and durability you get with Calphalon. If there was one thing I wish Calphalon had done differently, it would have been to add a vent hole in the glass lids. I find that helps minimize spill overs when cooking at high temperatures. Otherwise, there's truly nothing to criticize. While not inexpensive, this set is actually a bargain when you consider all that you get. Having used Calphalon for years, I know we'll be happy with our new stackable Calphalon Premier cook set for years to come.

Calphalon is one of the best company that manufactures high quality and premium cookware. Quality of this set is outstanding regardless the weight is kind of heavy. sturdy, durable and non-stick material makes clean super easy, plus dishwasher safe. I stored them in my cabinet where I have a slide organizer and her comes the space saving feature as it doesn't take up much space and stack up nicely. I highly recommend it.

This is the 3rd set of Calphalon pans we've used (though our first through TIN, the other 2 we purchased ourselves). As expected, they are amazing. The biggest perk being the nesting feature/design on the pans and lids. Whereas our older pans took up 2 entire cupboard sections, these fit in a single space. "There's so much room for activities!!!" The heat builds quickly and (more importantly) evenly throughout the surface, and every single piece on them oozes quality and reminds you that this is a top-notch kit. There's no plastic, no design flaws or items that jump out at you screaming "cheap!" or making you think a corner was cut to keep costs down. They are all just great, sturdy, quality pieces. Easily recommendable -- now just to offload my old set to someone!

Absolutely stunning cookware set. These are replacing a mishmash of pots and pans I’ve collected over the past 20 years. These have the weight and look of cast iron, but beautifully distribute heat like the most expensive Parisian copper pans sold at the fanciest boutiques. I’ve only used two of them so far, but they work sooooo much better than the “As seen on TV” miracle pans you find at the wholesale club. Those “miracle pans” will find a new home at Goodwill. My wife LOVES the look of these new pans, and is currently looking for a way to display them stacked, when not in use. Beyond the looks, these cook fantastically, and more importantly, evenly. I have an electric stove, and these pans heated quickly. Cleanup was easy. The nonstick surface cleans up fast, and after a sterilization cycle in the dishwasher, they are ready for the next cooking adventure! I can’t wait to have a large family/friends gathering so I can use more of the pots and pans at a time. I’m usually a one or two pan person. I HIGHLY recommend this set! These are worth their considerable weight in gold.

I did not realize the wonderful goodies that were meticulously, well- packed inside the box. Do not throw that box away because it is full of instructions and pictures on how the pans should be stacked and stored, as well as, what utensils are proper to cook with. Since this is titled as the space saving cookware, the first thing that I did after unpacking the many layers of pans packed in the big and heavy box, I re-stacked the pans and their lids to that are pictured with this review. After that, I put one of the frying pans on a gas burner at medium to medium-high temperature to see if the pan's handle or the lid used to cover that pan would get hot with the gas going. I left the pan on the burner near 5 minutes and the riveted handles were cool to the touch which makes them so useful and handy, states that the stainless steel handles are stay cool while cooking. . So, we have a gas cooktop, but writing on the box states that these pans are good for gas, electric, and glass top stoves- note that induction is not mentioned. Bottom line, it is fun to cook with these stunning pots and pan. Just a side note, I also have a pot rack hanging centered over my island and from an aesthetic point of view, the look with these pans is professional and dramatic. Although the box says that metallic utensils can be used with this non-stick surface, in an effort to be careful, I did not try using metal utensils; I am using both wood, plastic, and rubber all successfully. I only got this cookware within the last week and so I have not had enough time or use to determine how they will hold up over time, heat, and use. The handles are riveted on so I do not think that will ever be an issue. However, I wonder how the outside and underneath side of the pans will wear as they might start oxidizing from the carbon thrown off by the gas heat at high temps and force. That is what I do not know now at this early junction. Although I have not put them in the oven yet, per the box, they are safe in there up to temps of 450 degrees. The pan heats thoroughly and evenly. Give it a chance

I have to say that I have long been a fan of Calphalon cookware. I have a 6 inch and 10 Inch pan that I've used for many omelets and breakfasts. So an opportunity to own Premier Space Saving 10 PC Nonstick Cookware Set made my day. I was not disappointed in the least. As you can see from the enclosed pictures, they stack beautifully, as advertised. There are notches that align the pans. The lids disapate heat making the handles coolish to the touch. Calphalon claims that this set is dishwasher safe. I have no doubt that is true, but honestly such a premium set deserves a warm water hand washing. This set is a great foundation set. I will be adding more pieces.

This is the ultimate set of pots and pans for those with limited cabinet space but still wanting top notch equipment to cook with. Used them with an electric range and they cook very evenly! On the box it states that these are metal utensil safe, I hesitantly tested this as most pots and pans will be scratched beyond use but, I am happy to say they are absolutely safe to use! The clean up is where these really shine though, they are fully dishwasher safe and even the stickiest of cheeses comes right off with almost no work! Excellent build quality, sharp looks, and dishwasher safe... I would highly recommend!

Great non-stick pans with a super space saving design. First - they take up less room to put away and stack which is great if you are short on space, but what we love is the flat design that allows them to fit like a plate in the dishwasher! Pros: Non-stick works great They cook hot and even / transferring heat more efficiently than our old pans Stack-able with lids! - So less space needed in cabinet for storage Lids fit perfect in dishwasher (only lids I've ever seen do this) Dishwasher safe Handle and construction seems very sturdy, but not too heavy at all Cons: The outer small handle got a bit hot (Note the long main handle was fine and did not get hot) Overall very impressed. Woo-hoo to no more washing lids!

Cookware These pots and pans are great. They replaced a set that we’ve had since marriage and since then a couple have been thrown away. So it’s not a full set. These tho, I like the stacking since you won't be scraping any pieces. There are diagrams to follow and you'll save some space on stacking. The color is nice as well. The non-stick coating makes for easy cleanup. Very high quality construction. One thing I didn't like after washing the lids is that water remained at the bottom edge and couldn't drip off. I forget and water goes on already dry dishes or the floor. Also some of the kids have handles that make for odd griping. Otherwise these are great, feel sturdy and should last a long long time.

Very well made in terms of quality and style. Easy to clean as well. Love the unique lids which allows for tight knit storage. They can be a little on the heavier side depending on a persons strength, but I also prefer heavier pots and pans with nice build.

Best pot set from Calphalon I ever owned. Great quality.

This is our first set of stainless steel pots and pans. We upgraded from the $79.99 T-Fal set sold at the big box stores. The pans are just beautiful! Heavy duty and heat up quick! We had to learn to cook again. After endless YouTube videos, and practice we have found our groove. I hate to say it but it’s like the food tastes better. They are nice enough to serve out of and definitely are conversational pieces with guests. My favorite feature is the stacking ability. We live in a small apartment and it is nice that everything stacks up neatly including the lids. A couple of negatives that I would like to note for those considering... these pans are heavy! Loaded with food or water you definitely need two hands. I am a 32 year old male that is use to one handing pans and it catches me off guard every time I try to pull them from the stove. So these may not be the best option for those with bad wrists. I’m addition the lids are different from what I am use to. With them being flat every time you pull one off the liquids clinging to them fall on the stove. This also makes it nearly impossible to use the lid to strain fluids from your food. I will also say they do take a lot of maintenance. You have to “deep clean” them after each use to keep them looking new. I watched several videos and learned that they oxidize(discolor) with heat and food. May not be a dealbreaker, but with a $500+ set of cookware you want them to last a long time. I now use “Bar Keepers Friend” cleaner after each use. Followed by soap and water. They shine up like new. Most of the negatives are “issues” with all stainless pots and pans. So they do not affect my rating too much. The loss of one star is for the lid design. I fell like another shape or an additional lip may help with the liquids going on the stove every time you take them off. No one likes deep scrubbing the stove top after each meal.

Good quality, great build, and a little heavy. If you have the money to drop on this set then I recommend it. I have made a handful of meals with them with no issues and easy clean up afterwards.

This is a really nice cook set. It’s stackable so you save a ton of space and really well made. Love cooking with these.

We have had Calphalon pans for over 30 years and are still using our original, non-stick, set. They don’t look as good as when we purchased them, but they cook as well as day 1. These new non-stick pans are great and certainly a big step up from our current set. I certainly recommend and believe you will have them for many years to come! Very solidly built. Non-stick and according to Calphalon you can use metal utensils on them when cooking. They heat VERY quickly and evenly. Oven safe to 450 degrees. Nice see-thru glass lids Pans/lids are stackable (lids have no handles on top – they are on the side like the handle on a pan would be). Dish washer safe. But washing them by hand is a breeze thanks to the non-stick coating. Full lifetime warranty! Downsides; Heavy – so if you have budding young chefs or are older – these may be a tad heavy/cumbersome to use every day. Lids take a little getting used to Instructions/info are on the box - not in a more savable format like a pamphlet. Great pans and definitely recommend!

I've had pots and pan all my life. We all have and man these are the best by far. my food does not burn and there is no funny taste. the wash perfectly in the dishwasher or by hand all around the best.

nice quality pots and pans. significantly heavier than what I'm use to, but that's okay...I've been working out. A bit pricey, but I would purchase these again if I had to.

I bought these for one of my homes with a smaller kitchen. They’re great for that but stacking is kinda like Tupperware and lids, you have to rumble around to find the perfect stacking. I love that I can use metal utensils and that these are dishwasher safe though I really question that.

Previously we had a very mismatched set of pots and pans and lids. It was total chaos in our cupboards. I jumped at the chance to give these a try and get our cupboard more organized. Right out of the box you can tell that these are a very solid and serious pieces of cookware. They have a good weight too them (not too heavy) they feel very solid and sturdy in your hand and very well made. Gone are the days of having to re-tighten the handles on your pots or lids because they are coming lose. These all have solid rivets right through them. There isn't a single screw anywhere to be found. I absolutely love the way these all stack together into 2 neat piles. A set of the smaller pots and pans and a set of the larger ones and the lids fit nicely on top. There are even little metal plates with grooves on them to ensure they stay stacked up and wont fall over because all the notches fit together. As far as performance goes, they work perfectly. We have an electric stove and these pans work great. Very even distribution of heat, no hot spots anywhere to be found. The handles stay nice and cool to the touch as well so you don't have to fumble around with potholders (unless you put the pans in the oven) They also do work great in the oven as well (up to 450 degrees) I had no problem searing a steak on the stove and then popping the pan in the oven to finish it off. The best part is that this is truly a nonstick pan, and you can even use metal utensils on it. Food easily slides around and doesn't stick at all. Cleanup is a breeze...they are dishwasher safe, or you can very easily hand wash them as well. Finally, the warranty. Lifetime warranty if anything goes wrong with them (under normal use) and they will replace it for free. You cant beat that! Overall, I am VERY satisfied with this set! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some new cookware. I guarantee you wont be disappointed!
