Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Simply Calphalon Nonstick 6-Piece Bakeware Set
Customer Review: Calphalon quality for generic price
Summary: 5 Stars
We've been converting our entire cookware/bakeware/utensil collection over to Calphalon. We'd purchased two half-sheet jelly roll pans directly from Calphalon's outlet store some months back, and paid the same for those two pans as we did for this set through Amazon.
These pans are heavy. REALLY heavy. We love that - there's nothing worse than taking a pan out of the oven and having it "flex" and dump food, grease, etc. fall off because the food on it weighs more than the pan can handle. You'll never have that problem with these.
While most Calphalon products are dishwasher safe, we take the stance that any high-end item like this deserves to be washed and dried by hand with a mild dish soap. As a result, we've never had an issue with any sort of rust or damage to the surfaces of our cookware and bakeware.
One thing I really like about these pans is that they are designed to nest well with each other for storage even with the different shapes and such.
At any price, these are a good buy - at Amazon's sale price, they're a steal.
Customer Review: Some good qualties BUT rust, rust, rust
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased these pans a few weeks ago for two reasons. First, the set I had for the past five years was rusty under the outside rims and it was irritating. Second, someone using the pans in recent years scratching the coating. So imagine my disappointment when I removed them from the dishwasher the first time to see rusty water dripping from them. Because I didn't have time to immediately clean the rust water off the dishwasher interior after I removed the pans, I still have rust stains on the inside of the dishwasher I can't quite get rid of. The largest pan also had a slight dent in the bottom when it arrived that cause me to consider returning it, but I decided against it. Too bad I didn't do it.
On the positive side, the pans are HEAVY...and I mean that in a good way...compared to my old pans. The coating also appears thicker and more likely to weather the test of time.
In the end, if I'd known about the rust problem (I should have read reviews!), I would not have made the purchase even with the great price.
Customer Review: High quality, sturdy set at an awesome price.

If these were full price we would not have bought them - we just dont bake enough to justify spending $90.00 on a bakewear set, of which only the cookie sheet would be used frequently.
We almost bought one of the cheapest sets on offer for $20.00 - I had read reviews of warping and things sticking to non-stick surfaces but was still going to get them and accept that I would "get what I paid for", then we noticed this little set - reduced from $90 to $20!! I always like big savings but this seemed to big a reduction so I thought there must be something wrong with them.
Happily that was not the case and this is a very high quality -set of bakewear - everything is nice and thick and the cookie tray is "lipped" so its not going to warp and when they say non-stick they mean non-stick. They go through the dish-washer fine too. All of a sudden Im baking like some kind of baker. I only wish it would have come with two cookie trays so I can cook more than one batch at a time - hence the four stars.
Customer Review: Can't beat the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a perfect set for college students, first time apartment renters/home owners, or just anyone who doesn't want to spend an arm and a leg on bakeware. Simply put, they do their job and they hold up well. For the price you aren't likely to find anything cheaper. My one complaint, which really isn't a complaint, is that they don't hold up well in the dishwasher. This is do to the fact that each piece has a lip that will retain water if it gets in for a very long time. This is a non issue if washing by hand, but if you put these in a dishwasher you will risk rusting areas around the lip. You shouldn't have to worry about this since each piece is very easy to clean thanks to its not stick material.
Each piece holds up very well in high heats without warping, and I've never had a problem baking with any piece. Definitely recommended!
Customer Review: So worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that these baking pans are pretty pricey (besides the one-day sale today that is!), but they are COMPLETELY worth it!
I've always been the sort of person to buy the cheaper quality bakeware. After throwing out my 5th cookie sheet in a year because of warping, I decided to invest in a newer, higher-quality set of bakeware. I purchased this set (at higher than amazon costs I might add!). Since then I haven't had any issues with warping, rusting, corroding. If you follow your directions perfectly there is no burning either!
I've used all of the pans so far, several times a week for the last few months and they still look basically brand new. Food glides off of the surface. I give it 5 stars!
