I bought these pans to get away from toxic frying pans and they not only work very well,, they are also beautiful. Easy to wash, nothing sticks, all good. I would have liked a heat-free handle, but I can manage without it.

The claims stated by Calphalon are not correct. First off, the fry pans DO stick when cooking with them. I tried scrambled eggs without any oil or butter with terrible results. Next, I added a light layer of olive oil, and the pans still stuck. (low heat) The other thing Calphalon states are "stay cool handles" That also isn't correct as I used the 1 1/2-quart sauce pan yesterday and the handle got VERY hot! If I hadn't already recycled the box they came in, I would be returning them. I read some of the responses from Calphalon customer service which are a joke. Saying this like we apologize that people are disappointed yet not offering any solution. Not what I expect for spending $200.

Okay, I will admit what drew us to these pans initially was the lovely green color but the ceramic coating and the brand are what made us place an order. Now, after a month of using these every day we are totally delighted with the non-stick coating, the easy cleaning and frankly the robust ceramic coating. We have an electric stove top and the bottom surfaces of all the pans still show no scratches. That can’t last forever but so far so good.If I had to complain about something it’s that these seem to be a one-off, we wanted to order a larger chicken-fryer pan to match but they don’t appear to make any other green ceramic pans but this set. That was a disappointment but perhaps shows how much we like using it.

This set is excellent. Worth the extra money. Everything cooks evenly. The non stick ceramic is so easy to clean. I love the color of this set. They seem to be durable so looking forward to getting long use out of the set.

12/6/2024 review. 1st 3 weeks with this set. So far, I love it. I don't leave a lot of reviews on Amazon, so appreciate the fact that I'm planning to do a long term review of this product. Nice looking set. Really inexpensive for the quality you're getting. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on general characteristics as the other reviews cover those extensively. (Pans are more shallow. Lids are heavier. Heats up quick. Handles get hot.....) I'm going to cover just one aspect in my review, and I'm going to set reminders to update this review every 6 months for everyone.MAIN QUESTION: Is the ceramic actually nonstick versus all the other "nonstick" pans like Teflon, copper, etc.?ANSWER: Short answer after 3 weeks is, YES, the ceramic is actually nonstick. This ceramic coating (versus other Teflon like non-stick coating) so far seems to be a game changer. I've tried lots of different nonstick pans over the years (even tried that TV Gotham steel one), and they have ALWAYS DISAPPOINTED. Maybe they might have had one initial time where they were actually nonstick but after that, we're talking the usual heavy oil cooking if you don't want it sticking to the pan. They all sucked on "nonstick" bc everything would stick to them. I made egg fried rice in this pan this morning and realized after I got done that I NEVER PUT ANY OIL INTO THE PAN. Neither the rice nor the eggs stuck to the pan!!! Everything slid out of the pan when I got done and NOTHING stuck to the surface at all. The only spot where there was any sticking was the round metal screw tops where the handle screws into the pan. I wiped the pan clean with a paper towel after I was done. Truly remarkable. I'll see how it holds up with daily/weekly use and update everyone, but so far, it's outperformed every other nonstick pan I've ever tried in actually being nonstick!!! So yes, this might be the long term healthy solution to those nonstick pans that start losing their coating into your food and you end up feeding your family who knows what chemicals....

I've had our Calphalon® Ceramic Nonstick 12-pc. Cookware Set for about a month and I can truely say this is non-stick cookware. I have dry-fried several differnet foods, including eggs, without them sticking. Any minor carbonization is quickly and easily cleaned. With a minimum amout of bacon grease, about an 1/8 of atps., I can loosen the edges of fried eggs and swirl them in the pan. I could not with my Gothic Steel cook set. The long handles stay cool as do the lid hadles. The slotted lids and pour spouts make drain vegetables and pasta easy and safe. They show no signs of scratching from using metal utensils. Time will tell how dishwasher compatable they are. Definitately worth the money.

I've been using Teflon pans and finally wanted to switch to a healthier option. After a lot of online research, I chose the highly-rated and reasonably priced Calphalon® Ceramic Nonstick Set. When I received them, I was impressed by the quality and color; they have a good weight without being too heavy. The nonstick performance is excellent, and there's no weird smell like with Teflon pans, making them great for quickly frying eggs in the morning.However, I was disappointed to find that although I chose Calphalon because it’s made in the USA, this set was packaged as made in China. Additionally, the edges of the pans are quite shallow, which makes it easy for food to spill over while cooking, and they don't come with lids. Overall, I hope the nonstick performance lasts.
