People swear by the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick cookware. If you're looking for a handy variety of pots and skillets, try the ten-piece set. You get saucepans that hold one-point-five or two-point-five quarts. There is a three-quart saute pan plus a huge, eight-quart stock pot. Your omelet pans are eight and ten inches. And you'll have four lids for the four pots, some of which fit on the skillets.

This product line is manufactured with hard anodized aluminum exteriors and married to durable nonstick interiors that guarantee speedy, scrub-free clean-up. For those unfamiliar with hard anodized aluminum, it's manufactured using a process that renders the aluminum sturdier yet lighter than stainless steel and with excellent heat distribution properties.

The latest innovation on the Calphalon line is a useful flair to the pot design so that the various pieces present versatility in your kitchen no matter what's cooking. You'll find the lids manufactured from tempered glass so you can keep an eye on things. All the pieces withstand up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit in your oven. That means you can brown your meat on top of the stove and then simply transfer it into the oven, in the same pot, for roasting.

What if you don't want to use an aluminum set with nonstick coating? Consider the Calphalon Contemporary Stainless cookware, which also comes in a ten-piece set. It includes the standard eight- and ten-inch omelet pans, one-point-five and three-point-five saucepans with lids, plus the three-quart saute pan and the eight-quart stock pot, both with lids.

This cookware line boasts a triple-ply manufacturing process, utilizing an aluminum core that guarantees even heat dispensation. It's coated inside and out with lustrous, brushed stainless steel that guarantees a long life in your kitchen. The pots utilize a similar flaring design that renders them versatile for all types of cooking.

What's not to love about this set? These pieces are not scrub-free like the anodized aluminum set with the nonstick coating. But-and this is a big but for many of our kitchen dwellers-they are absolutely safe in the dishwasher. Some people complain about the need to use more cooking fats. For some consumers, however, who like to add butters and oils freely as they cook, that's simply not an issue.

With the Contemporary Stainless, you are still going to enjoy Calphalon's most reliable, customer-friendly features. The lids feature the same gotta-have-it tempered glass that lets you monitor what you're doing. You'll find the pot handles remain cool while you work, but keep potholders handy for use with the lids. The pieces withstand up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit in the oven.

For almost ten years, Calphalon has researched techniques that allow the ordinary consumer to perform like a gourmet chef, and the company takes pride in its Culinary Center based in Chicago. It offers a lifetime warranty on its products, and no matter which product line you choose Calphalon's customer service gets rave reviews.
