Overview
A first apartment kitchen gets the four pans it uses most from Calphalon, in hard anodized aluminum with a water based nonstick coating. Straining lids, pour spouts and measuring marks save extra tools for pasta and sauces.
Four everyday pieces with straining lids and measuring marks keep a small kitchen uncluttered. The coating calls for soft utensils, and the listing names only gas compatibility.
Who it's for
Students and new households cooking eggs, pasta and simple dinners will cover most meals. Cooks who sear hard or use metal spatulas should look at stainless.
Pros and cons
- Covers daily cooking in four pans
- Straining lids and pour spouts
- Measuring marks inside
- Oven safe with glass lids
- Induction not listed
- No metal utensils
- Frying pans have no lids
Performance notes
Release depends on the AquaShield coating, which lasts longest with moderate heat and soft utensils. Hard anodized aluminum heats quickly and evenly, so lower burner settings are usually enough.
