Amazon.com Review:
Burgeoning chefs need to start somewhere, and Calphalon has cleverly offered some help with the Contemporary Nonstick Cooking Club Starter Set. This beginner's bundle includes a 3-quart chef's pan, with its high rounded sides ideal for stir-frying and braising; a 6-inch chef's knife constructed of a single forged piece of high-carbon, rust-resistant steel that makes chopping vegetables and slicing meat a delight; a serving spoon for stirring liquids and spooning up food; and The Cooking Club Cookbook, a collection of recipes and cooking tips that covers everything from quick time-savers to gourmet meals. The chef's pan hails from the company's Contemporary Nonstick line, with hard-anodized exterior and nonstick interior construction, stay-cool handles, and glass cover. The knife is part of Calphalon's Contemporary Cutlery line, and features a contoured handle for extra comfort. This set is an offshoot of the Calphalon Cooking Club, which aims to build a community of cooking-inspired communication. --Rivers Janssen

Rating: - The Occasional Chef
After a year of use, I am very pleased with this pot. But, I can't give it five stars because the glass lid is painted on the inside (to hide the how the metal trim ring is attached to the glass) and the paint is slowly pealing off the glass. One wonders if the paint is edible. The lid, as well as the pot is always washed by hand, and I must say clean-up is a breeze. By the way, Analon doesn't paint their glass lids.

- Great set but with LID problems
I bought this set December 2003. After a year of use, the black "painted" rim under the lid has come off. I've always hand washed it, too. Also, I've noticed a couple of dents on the lid just from having it set on a drying rack.
On a positive note, the knife is awesome, very durable and high quality.The non stick material is also great.The pot itself is very easy to clean.

I just bought this set on clearance at Linens and Things for 24.99 plus another 20% off with a coupon.Brought the total to 19.99 and that is cheaper than the price of the chef's knife alone.The knife alone retails for 27.99.Check your local Linens and Things before ordering this.
Rating: - A great buy :)
I bought this set about 9 months ago- I was going to be getting married soon and moving into a new apartment, my fiancé and I needed a good pot for pasta, beans, etc.
This pot is probably our most used piece of cookware, we use it all the time for pasta, soups, beans, sauces, etc.The non-stick surface holds up well- although it would be nice if this set came with a non-stick compatible whisk...
I have no complaints about this product, but if you care about the outside ... Read More
Rating: - 3-qt Chefs Pan with Metal Handle and Glass Lid
This is this is one of the best pans I've ever had. It's really non stick. It cooks everything to perfection. I cook anything in it that will fit. An omlet or pancake will slid right out of the pan. Puddings will cook fast with hardly any watching or stirring. Clean up is a cinch with hot soapy water. Often you can just wipe out the pan. I bought several other pans and found all I really needed was this one.
