Works and looks great, just not durable.  Good Warranty, but they make you WORK for an exchange!

Works and looks great, just not durable. Good Warranty, but they make you WORK for an exchange!
These pots and pans have been good to me throughout the years. They cook evenly and perform well. The problem, however, is that they are NOT made to last! Eventually, the surface will start to chip away, and you will have stripped pans that look terrible and are probably not healthy to cook with anymore. I use mine in the dishwasher, because I purposely purchased them due to the fact that they are listed as dishwasher-safe, but honestly if you use these in the dishwasher, it's only a matter of a year or two before they wear away.Calphalon has a lifetime warranty, which I can appreciate! I have already exchanged this set once in the past, and now I'm working on getting my second replacement set replaced again. This is now twice in 5 years. Truthfully though, Calphalon makes you WORK HARD in order to claim a warranty exchange, and I'm sure this is by design! You have to start a warranty claim online, a different claim for each and every pot or pan that you want to exchange. They make you take all sorts of photos and a description just to start a claim, then you will get an email asking for more information as to how you use them, what temperature you use them at, what kind of oils you use, how you store them, and how you clean them... then they will ask you to take additional photos including each pot or pan on a piece of paper that you have to write your name and case number on, and then additional photos showing the date, then they make you upload the proof of purchase... and when ALL of these steps are done, you are on your own to mail them in (postage paid for by YOU) and you then have to wait 3-4 weeks WITHOUT the use of your pans while they inspect them and will eventually send you a replacement. This is required for each and every pan, not just for the set as a whole!This whole process is by design to discourage you, the consumer, from exercising the warranty exchange. It really turns me off from ever buying Calphalon again. I have had friends who warned me away from this company, and I didn't listen because I loved the design and it was a good price for what it was. That is, until I found that they don't even last a couple years without disintegrating.Please see my photos as proof of how they will look after a year or two of ownership. It's not worth this price in order to have pans that won't last. Trust me, don't go through the same frustrations that I have throughout the years... invest just a bit more and find pans that will last.Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome compliment to the Stainless Steel version
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017
I love these. I have owned the Stainless Steel version these for years and have loved them. My wife owned some Rachael Ray non-stick ones and when they started to finally fail, she asked for some new ones (she hates using my stainless ones). I got these and she is absolutely in love with them. She said they are the best she's used.

I also have to say that the price on these were amazing! I was gonna go to BBB to get them for her with a 20% off coupon, but decided to check Amazon first. Their price was so much lower than even the 20% off at BBB that I couldn't turn it down. I know the prices on Amazon fluctuate, so I probably got lucky, but still.

More about the product itself:

The pans are a joy to work with. I understand that there are times you should/can use stainless and times when you really need to use non-stick. I've been wanting some of these for myself for a long time, but when my wife said she was willing to get rid of her old set, I knew I finally had approval to get them..LOL.

They seem to heat evenly, we've had nothing stick to them yet, and they are so much more solid than the set they replaced. I like the heft and thickness of the pans. Another great feature is they are oven safe, I think, to 450, which I didn't think non-stick could do. I'm excited to give that a try. I also like the specific variety of pans included in this set. I am planning on getting some other individual pieces, but I feel most people could get this set and not need any thing else!

Deeply disappointed, we had this exact same set before and never had a problem. These scratches are unacceptable from such a reputable brand.
