ReviewThe high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while providing the high-quality construction affiliated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, beautiful look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or particular occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalon’s initial and highly frequent Professional Nonstick II line–but with improvements to make it even better. The most apparent enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for respective cooking proficiencies and provides better access for pouring and stirring. Also commodious is the capacity line on these pots and pans, which helps prevent cooks from overfilling them.
This set has all the pieces necessary for every day family cooking: 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart covered saucepans, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and an 8-quart covered stockpot. The pans’ exteriors are made of hard-anodized aluminum for superior heat distribution. The interiors are coated with a nonstick surface that is immune to peeling, chipping, flaking, or cracking. This cookware has ergonomic brushed stainless-steel handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the pans for durability. The lids are tempered glass–for looking at feed as it cooks–encircled by a stainless-steel band that complements the cookware and fits snugly into the pans. All Contemporary Nonstick cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. –Cristina Vaamonde
