Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Simply Calphalon 5-Piece Baking Set
Customer Review: Cook well, but how long will they last?
Summary: 3 Stars
I decided to purchase this set of pans about six months ago despite the negative feedback which so many people have written. The instructions which come with the pans claim that the pans are dishwasher safe, but I preferred to hand wash them. The instructions are also very explicit that the pans should be hand dried with a cloth shortly after being washed. I assume that this is due to the rust issue.
I agree with those who say that these pans look, feel and cook well. I have had good results the few times that I have used them. However, I have used the cookie sheet about eight times now and despite carefully hand washing and drying the pan, I am seeing signs of rust and of the Teflon coating peeling off of the pan. The rust is forming on the underside of the pan where the material has been rolled, so it does not affect the baking surface. The more alarming loss of the Teflon coating is also occurring on the underside of the pan. Furthermore, I once burned the bottom of a loaf of bread in the pan and it left a black mark on the pan that I can not get off. I am careful with these pans and so it is not from abuse that this is occurring. I would expect this to occur with a low quality pan, but these pans I would expect more of over time.
In summary, I think that these are a good value as a set. However, don't plan on buying these pans and having them last a long time for I don't think that they will. The poor craftsmanship by Calphalon means that these will serve you well for a while, but the same can be said for inexpensive pans that you purchase with the expectation that they will fail in a few months. Based on the results of this set, I would never buy any other Calphalon products. Less expensive pans may not look as pretty, but they may serve you better than these.
Description of Simply Calphalon 5-Piece Baking Set
Wow, a deal like this doesn't come around often, so if you've been postponing a bakeware purchase for just the right moment, this is it! Five pieces of high quality bakeware, in the most often used shapes and sizes, all for under thirty bucks. Their non-stick surfaces are dishwasher safe and even if you don't have a dishwasher clean up will be a cinch thanks to the food-releasing properties.This Simply Calphalon set comprises the basics for a home chef or novice baker: one 9-by-13-inch brownie pan, one medium loaf pan measuring 4-1/2 by 8 1/2 by 2-1/2 inches, one 12-cup muffin tin, one large 14-by-17-1/2-inch cookie sheet, and one 8-inch square cake pan. Simply Calphalon bakeware is constructed of heavy-gauge metal that prevents warping, and features a durable, double-thick nonstick coating for effortless release of baked goodies. The surface won't chip, crack, or peel and is easy to clean. Each pan features just what you?d expect in good bakeware. For example, the consistent thickness of the cookie sheet is necessary for even baking across the entire batch, and the cake pan?s rolled edges prevent warping or twisting under the hottest temperatures. Simply Calphalon is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Rhonda Langdon
