Great little pans
I received Calphalon's Contemporary Nonstick line for my wedding 6+ years ago, and while I loved the style, I ended not liking the non-stick surface because they started peeling after just a couple of years (note that I do cook every day, so they were heavily used). When it came time to replace my pots and pans, I decided to go with the Calphalon Contemporary Stainless line because 1. I love the look, and 2. I can keep my previous lids. Calphalon Contemporary Stainless does not disappoint. The pans are well-built, have a nice weight and balance to them, cook evenly, are a cinch to clean, and are so so puuuurty. Used properly (heat before adding oil/food) they are great, my eggs release easily, my frittatas cook evenly, my potatoes brown gorgeously, and that makes me a happy camper. The glass lids are a bonus b/c they let you see your food while cooking. I would suggest some Bar Keeper's Friend to accompany these beauties to keep them looking new. I have other Calphalon...
LOVE THESE PANS!
These are a great pair of pans for any kitchen. Not an issue that it didn't come with lids b/c had plenty from other pans that fit fine. Handles don't get hot when cooking on a gas stove and love how well they clean up.
So far so good!
I purchased these pans last week from a Calphalon outlet. Since then I have used them to make omelets. Not a single one has stuck to the pan! All you have to do is heat the pan BEFORE adding oil or butter. It never fails! This is just as good or better than any nonstick pan I have encountered! And now I have a pan that can actually get a great sear on a steak. In my opinion, these pans are worth more than the price! If for some reason, these pans do not hold up, I will come back and edit this review.
