Amazon.com Review:
The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while offering the high-quality construction associated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, attractive look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or special occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalon's original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line--but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also convenient is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them.
This set has all the pieces necessary for daily family cooking: 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart covered saucepans, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and an 8-quart covered stockpot. The pans' exteriors are made of hard-anodized aluminum for superior heat distribution. The interiors are coated with a nonstick surface that is resistant to peeling, chipping, flaking, or cracking. This cookware has ergonomic brushed stainless-steel handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the pans for durability. The lids are tempered glass--for viewing food as it cooks--encircled by a stainless-steel band that complements the cookware and fits snugly into the pans. All Contemporary Nonstick cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

- Loving them!!
I purchased my Calphalon Contemporary set about a month ago, and I'm very impressed.So far, NOTHING seems to stick to these pans!I've even accidentally burned a few dishes (they require less heat that I'm used to), and not even the burned portions stuck to the pans.Clean-up is a breeze.The Teflon is holding up very well, and has proven to be resistant to scratches.The set is very attractive and the feel of it is great - not too heavy, not too light.Being able to go from stove top to oven, ...

- These pans do not last!
I registered for the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 10pc set (plus an extra dutch oven in this line) for my wedding 2 1/2 years ago. It was a pricey set--the kind that I wouldn't buy for myself, but registered for, hoping that it would be a durable set that would last my husband and I a long time.
Well, within a year, the two frying pans began to peel their Teflon coating. Now, 2 1/2 years later, 4 out of 6 of the pans I got are shedding their Teflon.I was responsible with them--NEVER ... Read More
Rating: - Makes cooking enjoyable!
I bought this set of cookware a couple years ago and haven't regret it yet. The pans are all holding up well. Yes, wear comes with use, but the quality is certainly revealed. These pans clean up EASY, no scrubbing needed. There are some minor stirring marks, but the material has not peeled or chipped. I highly recommend these pans, they make a great mid-line product.

- They don't last!
I bought this set when my husband and I were married four years ago.I love to cook and bake, and thought these pans were great in the beginning.Four years and $400 later, I am very disappointed.The nonstick coating in every pan is peeling off.Let me be clear: These pans have NEVER seen the dishwasher, metal utensils, or anything but loving care.We thought we were investing in pans we'd have for a long time.Not so.Now, we wish we would've just gotten the stainless All-Clad instead.These ...

Rating: - Really nice to cook with
Food cooks better, more evenly than the cheap Tfal I had.No sticking problems. Would like a smaller pan in the set.Easy to clean the interior with the Dobie pad.More trouble to keep the exterior clean. The large sauce pan came with a scratch on the rim and I am considering exchanging it. Love the clear glass tops. Handles do get hot. Pots are heavy and have aggravated my tennis elbow.
