Although I had a nice set of Scanpan cookware, not all of it was holding up as well as they claimed. I was careful to use it as they described but there are others in my household who use the cookware who aren't as "careful." I had put the Calphalon Tri-Ply on my wish list and was surprised when my husband said he wanted to get this for my birthday. I've used all 13 pieces in the two weeks since I received them! It is important to read the pamphlet on use and care that comes with the cookware. For best results it is very important to always cook at a lower temperature. (You could almost qualify them as "green" - they must save energy!) I'm not too concerned about maintaining the exterior mirror finish as I know it will get scratched up over time no matter how careful I am and I was more interested in how well food cooked. So far the finish is holding up well under repeated hand washing and the interiors have been very easy to clean with just soap and water.

I have been shopping for a nice cookware set for a while. I was really torn between this set of Calphalon and the Cuisinart Multiply Pro, but was unable to locate it locally the cuisinart locally so I could see it in person prior to purchase. So I ruled that one out. So here is my assessment of this cookware:
The good:
1. These pots are nice and thick and cook evenly.
2. The handles stay cool! The short helper handles do get hot though, so use caution.
3. Easy to clean. Even stuck-on egg cleans right up after a few minutes soaking.
4. Very nice classic look.
5. Can be purchased at Bed Bath and beyond with a 20% off coupon (That's what I did). BBB also offered a free stock pot and a $50 gift card which they allowed me to use on this purchase.
The bad:
1. They are HEAVY! All good pots are though. So if you have been cooking on thin light-weight pots and pans, you will need some time to get used to the weight of these. I do not consider the weight to be a true negative point because the weight is a sign of quality, but you should be aware of it. Go to a store that sells these and pick one up. then imagine the weight with the pan full. Something to be considered.
2. Amazon's inflated "suggested retail" price just makes me so mad. They do this on a lot of products though. The retail price on Calphalon's web site is $399, not the $810 that Amazon states it is. I think that is a really dishonest practice and makes me lose a lot of faith in Amazon in General.
3. Made in China. Still very nice quality though.
Overall, I am very happy with this set and am glad I purchased it.

January 2010: We got our 13 piece Tri-Ply Calphalon cookware in the traditional style in August 2009. I read all reviews of other brands such as Cuisinart, All-Clad, Le Creuset, Earth Pan, and Emeril's, etc. I thank everyone for their reviews since it made my decision much easier. We wanted to get the plain stainless steel style because of reviews about the non-stick cookware stating that after several years it must be replaced due to wear of the coating. We wanted it to last for many years without worry so to get our moneysworth. I could not be happier with this set---it has everything I could need, it looks beautiful, it cooks great and cleans up very easily. We have been using it for 5 months and love everything about it. I paid attention to what people said about cleaning it and made sure to read the manufacturer's instructions on care. Someone online gave a summary on care that was very helpful as well. I use a Dobie pad and/or Bartender's Friend to clean it like new after each use and dry it immediately after washing in warm soapy water and rinsing. If something sticks, like scrambled eggs, I just let it soak or put water in the pan and put it on the stove to a slow boil and it comes right off. The handle is so comfortable and it's nice and weighty without being too much; love the see through covers and easy pour edge too. I never thought I would ever have Calphalon cookware because of the expense but you guys online helped there too........We went to Bed Bath & Beyond while it was on sale and we used our 20% off card we got in the mail on top of the sale; we got a $50 gift certificate to BB&B; plus as a free bonus we got a large covered stock/soup pot [I think 4 quart] for free and a towel and spoon in that box! When I left Bed Bath & Beyond, I felt like it was Christmas! The $400 set after the sale, coupon and with subtracting the amount for the $50 gift certificate [which we later used on a food processor] was about $260!! You just can't beat that, so I was happily able to afford it. I give it the highest rating of 5 stars, don't hesitate to get this great product! Thanks to everyone for giving their reviews, I made the perfect choice!

I did a lot of looking, read a lot of reviews and made the decision for the Calphalon Tri-ply. It had all of the benefit of the cladded cookware, without the big prices of the All-Clad and designer brands. The 13 piece set is a good starter. I added the double-boiler and the steamer. I am asking for the large stir-fry cooker for Xmas.I have used the cookware for about 6 mos. on a glass top range and have found no issues. They clean nicely and when they spot or stain, just use some Barkeeper's Friend to bring them back to life. The glass lids are nice for seeing what's happening; however they may pose some risk if they were left on dry pan. They will have tendency to pop and creak when they come off and on the hot pans. Just take care.Good value and good product.
