If you're shopping for good quality cooking pots and pans, you may want to consider the Calphalon Cookware 10 Piece Set. This set has enough pieces to suit most cooks and it's constructed from hard anodized nonstick aluminum making clean up a breeze and durability something you can count on. While it's not the most expensive and highest quality set on the market, it is certainly a very good set for the money and a good starter set for someone just setting up house.
To keep your set looking great for the long term it's important to keep in mind that there are certain things that are an absolute "no-no" when using these nonstick products. First off, never use your regular metal utensils while cooking with them. You should instead, invest in some quality plastic or wooden utensils. Secondly, you should never use any kind of scrubber when cleaning them and wait until the pots or pans have cooled fully before putting them in the dish water. Which brings me to my third point, always wash them by hand. Finally, don't use non-stick cooking spray because the chemicals break down the non-stick surface over time.
As long as you follow the proper care instructions for the Calphalon Cookware 10 Piece Set, you should be pleased with your purchase. The pieces clean up easily, cook evenly and look great! In addition, although the handles are metal, they don't get hot while on the stovetop. You can also put these pieces safely in the oven up to a 400 degrees F temperature. As well, the company offers a 10 year limited warranty. The set comes with 2 fry pans of different sizes, 2 sauce pans with lids, a large sauté pan and a large sized stock pot. With this, you've got everything you need to cook just about any meal you could want. Add to this a casserole dish or two and maybe a wok and you've got the basis for all cooking pots and pans you'll ever need.
So, if you're just getting started with all that's needed to set up house or if you're looking for a Christmas or birthday present that a new cook is sure to appreciate, this 10 Piece set is a very good choice. You can spend up to 0 or more for a top of the line set so that for someone whose budget doesn't allow for this sort of purchase, this set is much more affordable at around 0.
