bWhat's in the Box/bbr 12-quart stockpot with lid, 5-quart saute with lid, and 12-inch omelet pan pThis Calphalon limited edition set is comprised of one 5-quart saute pan, one 12-quart stockpot, and one 12-inch omelet pan#151;-just the right pans for family cooking. Calphalon's Commercial Hard-Anodized cookware wears a matte finish and is made of heavy-gauge aluminum to resist hot spots or warping. Though not nonstick like some Calphalon cookware, this super-size set is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Contoured, cast-stainless-steel handles resist heating and are triple-riveted for durability and balance, and metal utensils won't harm the surface. The 5-quart saute pan is ample for frying a couple of chickens, braising corned beef, sauteing loads of vegetables, or browning meats. Or fill it with stew and stick it into the oven. At 12-1/2 inches in diameter by 2-1/2 inches high, this is a big pan that will satisfy many needs. Its handle has a hole for hanging on hook or peg, and a loop handle provides two-handed lifting. The 12-quart stockpot, great for soups, stews, and pasta, also stands up to deep frying. The looped handles are easy to grip and stay cooler than you might expect, thanks to V-shaped splits where they meet the pan, but it's still a good idea to keep hot pads nearby. The extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides the flexibility of taking the pan to the oven or broiler. And the 12-inch omelet pan, ultrathick along the bottom and sides to absorb the higher heat levels, protects delicate eggs from drying and burning. The sides of this pan are sloped to facilitate swirling the pan--gently glide an omelet around and out of the pan and onto the plate. The curved, cast-stainless-steel handle is easy to grip and stays cooler than expected (again, thanks to the V-shaped split where it meets the pan). The surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food, and it is tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils and vigorous whisking. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans.

Not a chef, but I love solid, reliable cookware August 12, 2003
I give this cookware a "Tim-the-Toolman Taylor" grunt because of how soliid it feels. I bought the set for [$$]. You can't buy one piece of this mighty cookware for that price. It heats evenly on my gas range and browns food well. Very satisfied.

I've used the Professional line for a few years now and liked it much better than the stainless or non-anodized aluminum cookware I had before. But the handle design gets hot pretty quickly so I started thinking about the Commercial line. I'd also lusted after the 5 Qt. saute pan for years -- after patiently collecting several pieces on sale at various places, I'd never seen that pan marked down very much in either line. Obviously many people are buying it at retail. When I saw this fantastic 5 piece set, at a price that was just over half the retail on the 5 Qt. saute, it was one of the most obvious no brainers I've seen. After using the Commercial line for a couple of months now, I'm looking for sales on other pieces to gradually replace all my Professional gear! The cool-V handles really do work well; it takes quite a while over fairly high heat before they get too hot to handle. Of course the reknowned Calphalon cooking surface is a given, and it's great.
Great Price February 12, 2003

I liked this set so much I bought one for my mom also. Calphalon Hard Anodized products are the best for browning and searing.
Calphalon Commercial is the best February 7, 2003

I've been cooking for many years, and overall, this is the best cookware I've ever used. Very evenly heated, easy to clean, and good looking. This is great even for the young couple, because it will last a very long time, and give great performance. Enjoy!!
Great price for a terrific set of cookware! January 9, 2003

Fantastic set and an even better price! The 12 quart stock pot sells for over [price] if purchased alone. The lid for the 5 quart saute pan also fits the omelet pan (which I don't think is mentioned in the description here, but it's indicated on the box). Calphalon cookware cooks food so well there's very little guesswork with recipes. The even heating means no errant hot spots or cold spots. Just be aware that Calphalon must be hand washed, so it takes a bit more maintenance than ordinary cookware. However, it's worth it! Calphalon makes the best stock/sauce pots for simmering spaghetti sauces or for making chili. The handles stay cooler than most other cookware, and the lids fit down flat, like restaurant-quality cookware (which this basically is). This set would also make a fabulous gift for someone starting out in a new home who needs to outfit their kitchen with the best tools. Calphalon is the cookware you will hand down to your children!
