Kris Montoya: I started cooking at home more to become a little more healthy as I am getting older. My old Pam's would stick so I didn't want to cook due to the clean up, this set doesn't have that problem. Would buy as a gift and again if needed.

Claudia VelázquezClaudia Velázquez: Llegó super rápido y bien empacado, son de excelente calidad, el material es pesado, estéticamente son muy bonitas combinan con cualquier espacio. Anteriornente compré dos sartenes de esta marca y hace muy bien su trabajo por eso adquirí la batería completa. Hay que cuidarlos bien usando utensilios de silicona. 100% recomendado, calidad-precio es muy buena.

Scarberian: I have tried out the pots and pans, no problem. The only downside is that I have to use the 6-quart stock pot for steaming vegetables because the steamer is too large to fit the other pots.

Lynda R. Kraar: I had an old set of Millenium Farberware, which was so rugged and awesome until after 20 years I realized that I had dinged the teflon here and there in the pieces I used most often. I could not find another heavy-duty Farberware set - seems that they have diminished in quality - so I moved on to Calphalon. I loved them from the first use. The soup pot was very forgiving when I accidentally left the apple sauce on for too long. Easy clean-up, and the apple sauce was actually edible and the carmelized bits did not stick to the pot. Highly recommended. Great seller. I give this set an enthusiastic five stars.

Margaret Searcy: I purchased the set partly because I've always loved the line, but also because the size of the pots/pans is relatively small and this filled a gap in my kitchen full of larger stock pots etc.
I love the fact I can put them in the oven if I need to. They're easy to clean so it isn't too much of a problem that they don't go in a dishwasher.
Good quality and gave me just what I wanted/needed.

HTDHTD: First, I did not receive these products for free, I bought them. The Simply Calphalon was rated a best buy by CR and I thought that the specs for the Kitchen Aid  KitchenAid KCH1S10KD Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set - Black Diamond made them worth consideration. I have been in the restaurant business for over 30 years so I have a lot of experience with pans, mostly professional sets. So that is my point of reference. The Calphalon and Kitchen Aid were in the same mid-range price point (170 - 220) in November of 2015. Truthfully they are very similar but not equal.

First thing I noticed was that the Simply Calphalon were slightly smaller. Especially the Saute pan. The Kitchen Aid set is dishwasher safe, Calphalon is not. For better or worse (as you'll read better in this case) the Kitchen Aid are heavier. The Calphalon are double-coated nonstick, the Kitchen Aid are triple-coated. Packaging for KA says oven safe to 350 degrees and Cal. says 400. Amazon says 500 for KA vs 400 for Cal. Being curious I had both in the oven at 425 for 15 minutes with no issues. Both are Hard Anodized aluminum. If you have an induction cooktop only KA is compatable.

citan-uzuki: This reasonably-priced set from Calphalon has enough quality and features for the average home chef. The aluminum construction is thick, the handles are riveted, and the lid handles are securely fastened. Time will tell whether the non-stick coating will be durable.

The manufacturer's claim that food will release quickly from the non-stick surface has proven to be honest. Eggs release just fine, without the need for spray oils. The interior cleans up just fine with a soft sponge and mild dish detergent. I have not had to resort to a scouring pad. Having said all of that, let me admit to you that I am not a chef, nor do I have aspirations to be. Meaning, the foods that I cook are not the types that put a lot of requirement in cookware. Reasonably even heating, ease of cleaning, and long-term durability are basically all of the qualities that I look for in cookware. I also do not have a fancy kitchen to show off my cookware! Meaning, aesthetics is not all that important since home visitors do not get to see my cookware anyway. This reasonably-priced, 10-piece set more than meets my humble needs.

Why the four stars rather than five? I would have given the product five...
