Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set Review

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set

I was on my way to purchase a set of All Clad and saw these. The design is gorgeous, the weight is excellent, and Calphalon is an excellent name. I bought the 10 piece set.
I had it for only 10 days and found something very distressing. When you stir the food, what do you do with the spoon? You hit it on the edge of the pan to get off any food. I do this routinely without any problems. To my surprise, the Calphalon's edge dented with every hit. I can only imagine what the edges would look like after a year, given that I'd only had them 10 days and the edges were all beat up. Please, don't get the impression that I'm hard on pots, but the softness of the steel was very disconcerting and was bad enough after 10 days for me to return the set. A $500 set of pots shouldn't dent like these did.

The sleek curves of the unique design complement your kitchen, as does the brushed stainless exterior. The tri-ply construction with full aluminum core means superb conductivity and even heating. The stay-cool handles remain comfortable for hours on the stovetop, and the tempered-glass covers provide see-through convenience and make for a beautiful presentation.

i must say, i read all the reviews i could find over and over before i bought this!! i was having a big "hollywood oscar dress-up style" 18th birthday party for my daughter and 40 other of the greatest teenagers in the country and i had this picture in my mind of elegance--except it was "elegance-on-a-budget"!! i was having trouble finding a punch recipe that was non-alcoholic but not baby shower taste either...so, i kept wondering if it would really be worth it and would it just look like cheap plastic?? i finally decided to "just do it" and ordered at the best rate i could find with amazon. it was here pretty quickly and i ripped into it. i was very excited--all parts seemed to fit properly together and i tested it with water and it worked and looked great! it's not a $500 or $1000 silver or crystal punch bowl but it had a good weight to it and looked just fine next to real crystal platters! and with the following recipe from a friend it was a huge hit with ALL the kids--they just kept coming back and never even touched the sodas i kept offering--until the punch ran out! thanks for a fun party addition!! 4cups cranberry cocktail juice + 4cups pineapple juice + 1cup white sugar + 1 tsp almond extract (mix all that together ahead of time) + 1 liter(4cups) ginger ale soda. multiply the recipe however many times you want but add the ginger ale slow slow slow slow slow!!!! i goofed and went too fast the 1st batch and the fountain wouldn't work till the fizz all settled down-but it recovered in spite of me:)!

Ideal for birthday parties, weddings, and other special events, this fountain holds up to 1 gallon of any favorite beverage and features a three-tier cascading tower. The unit pumps liquid from the lighted bottom bowl up to the top. The beverage then cascades back down in a waterfall effect from one tier to the next through holes around the outside of the bowls. For added effect, the fountain changes lighting automatically to provide a dazzling array of colors. Eight 8-ounce cups are included. The 38- to 40-watt fountain measures 12-1/8 by 12-1/8 by 22 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.
