Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper 10-Piece Cookware SetCustomer Review: You'll be disappointed Summary: 1 Stars
My wife and I were super excited to get this set as a wedding gift. The pans look beautiful and we were eager to start using some great cookware. The first disappointing thing was that the color didn't last a single day. As soon as you start using these pans they start discoloring and forming unsightly spots. Yes, this can be polished out, but you'll be spending a lot of time on it, and you're not likely to keep it up. The second, and by far the biggest disappointment is that these pans really don't cook food well. I have tried every trick in the book and can not for the life of me cook an egg in these pans without it sticking. The calphalon website recommends various techniques, none of which worked for us. Lastly, you'll see many mentions of how fast your food will cook in these pans... which is also not true. You're constantly reminded to use a low heat setting, or else your food will stick (which it will either way), so you end up cooking your food much longer than you're used to. Also, calphalon recommends that refrigerated foods sit out for 10-15 minutes before adding them into a pan to prevent sticking (which also doesn't work). At the end of the day, trying to cook something in these pans takes a long time.
I reccomend what another reviewer wrote: Try one pan first to see if you can get it to work. If you're happy with it, great. More likely you'll be returning the set.

The combination of these two metals provides more exact control while cooking and excellent end results. The interior is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which is nonreactive to acidic foods and offers a reflective surface that makes it easier to know when foods are completely cooked. This cookware has Calphalon?s patented stainless-steel Cool-V handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and stainless-steel lids that fit snugly onto the pan for a tight seal. All Tri-Ply Copper cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde What's in the Box 8-, 10-inch omelet pans; 3-quart covered saute pan; 1-1/2-, 2-1/2-, and 6-quart covered saucepots
