Excellent quality at a fair price
It was finally time to get rid of the old cookware now that the kids are out of the house and I didn't have to worry about ruined cookware anymore. My plan was 3 mil copper cookware or All Clad. But after seeing this in the store, feeling the weight and quality and then reading a lot of reviews ... I decided to give it a try. My final price with coupon was $320 at BB&Beyond.
First, this cookware is excellent but you have to know how to use it. Put the empty pan on the heat at the temperature that you want to cook at. Wait about 2-3 minutes and then add a little oil or butter (but have your food ready or your butter will burn) and heat for about 20 seconds (butter) to 1 minute (oil). Then add your food. Eggs work excellent this way and just slide off the pan. I have also used chicken broth to cook the egg in (just wanted to see if it would stick) and it did not. So as long as your pan is at the correct temperature and you add some kind of liquid you will be ok.

Great cookware!
I absolutely LOVE this set of cookware. I have an induction burner (which I also LOVE), and it can be hard sometimes finding pans that will work. Not only do these work with any stovetop, but they look and feel great. They're very easy to clean, and I haven't had any problems with things really sticking and I don't have to worry about ingesting chemicals from DuPont. While I really only use the same 3-4 pots/pans most of the time, it's nice to have the variety for when you do need something different. The build quality is really solid and like I said, they're so pretty! Was considering the All-Clad, but I think these are just as good and nearly 1/3 the price. Definitely worth it!!
Good product - feels substantial
My wife and I bought this set from a different retailer and have been very happy with the product so far. I have always used stainless steel and my wife non-stick. We were looking at some non-stick sets, but heard from several sources that regardless of the brand you can't count on the non-stickiness to last more than two to three years. Faced with buying a new set every few years, we opted to go for the stainless steel. It can be harder to clean, but lasts much longer.
We looked at Calphalon and All Clad, but opted for the Calphalon due to the lower price and more complete set. A store clerk told us that the All Clad is ultimately a better crafted product (Barefoot Contessa uses All Clad, after all), but for the average home cook you won't see too big a difference. Also - we liked the glass lids so that we can see things cook without letting the heat escape. The All Clad sets we looked at all had stainless steel lids - probably to hold more heat, but again not a...
