Calphalon Premier Set vs Farberware Glide

It's really good quality, geez, [, Music ], let's get in here, probably all the lids - are probably on the top all right, here's another one and of co...

And that’s the most important thing - provided they last longer than a few months. Thus the 4 stars. But I don’t like the plastic pot handles and lid knobs. I would prefer metal

I was beyond excited to get them and for the first few months they were great but they don’t hold up. They cook great for the most part but the durability is horrible. The design and look are great, if only the durability were as good. I have used Calphalon for years but will be going to a different brand after this

Very light weight. I mean really light. Frying pan warped after 2 uses. Would not buy these again or recommend to anyone

I even did not put my catholic premier space saving cookware set into the dishwasher and it still like got sharp at the top, so i am very excited to j...

This claims to be non-stick but it clearly is not. I haven’t even had it for 2 months and haven’t used them that much, and things stick to it very easily and doesn’t come off

I haven't tried the short handles (both on the lids and the really short handles on the sauce and sauté pans), but I imagine they're not useable without oven mitts. Debating whether or not to keep these, as the "stainless steel handles stay cool while cooking" is definitely not as described. Will probably cook some noodles to see if the whole handle gets untouchable after 10 minutes of being on heat.

Food will sponge away, but it's as if the food has left an indelible stain INTO (not onto) the pan itself. Very strange, and I don't like it at all. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and spend a pretty penny for quality pans. I know they won't be Farberware

(I had a cheap Paula Dean set that looked better after a year) so for the price I would expect better durability. I think for the price you can find other space saving options for less.

We haven't had these long, and I think I've used every one by now. Easy to clean; had no issues with anything sticking; and they heat fairly evenly. I followed the initial soaking, cleaning per instructions, then used them - never washing when they are hot. What I've noticed on the 2 pans, so far, is that the bottom black material is already starting to flake off

Got the set plus a couple extra pieces. Love the look, stacking feature and ease of cleaning (we wash by hand). Would not buy again based on the weight of the pans when loaded. Extremely heavy and unsafe to lift when boiling water in the dutch oven

Everything just slides right off the finish. They have a really nice weight and feel to them. Overall they are great! I look forward to adding additional pieces from the same line.

I never put it in the dishwasher (even though it is supposedly safe to do so with these) and always wait until they are completely cool to clean them with a soft sponge. Then, i immediately let them dry, so they are not sitting in water which supposedly can damage the nonstick coating after a long period of time. Even then, with the pan that I typically use once a day (so about 19 times now) already has a chip on the nonstick coating. (pictures attached) I will edit this post in the future if anything changes, but overall I think it is still worth it if you have a really small storage space for pots and pans

The problem because worse and now we are not able to use it, I cannot get some scrambled eggs off the pan ! I believe since it is only the one pan in the set, the non-stick was not applied correctly. Unfortunately, we waited to long and now the return window has closed. UGH

These are very well made pots and pans - but very, very heavy! I would preferred them to be a bit lighter as it causes me to think twice about using them. But if you don’t mind the weight, they are high quality.

Product came damaged on the big pot and a small pot but my wife didn’t care. They aren’t the best but my wife was happy.

I’d give this 4.5 stars if I could. This is great cookware and does save on space. It heats evenly and is so easy to clean

I turned off the heat and let the pot cool. The olive oil went down the drain and my pot still looks like new. I have the sense that there is no way to burn, discolor or damage the beautiful shiny ceramic copper cooking surfaces of these Farberware pots and pans. And they are so reasonably priced

She apologized for the problem I was having with the 6 quart stock pot. After reviewing the pictures I emailed to them she initiated a replacement stating that she will personally monitor the case to make sure that the replacement is promptly sent to me. She did not require that I ship the defective pot back to Calphalon. I am therefore increasing my point score from 4 to 5 since Calphalon stands behind its product, has outstanding customer service, increasing my confidence in the lifetime warranty that this set comes with

There are a few things to know though before using the pans and basic maintenance. First when you first get the pans you will have to soak them with baking powder and hot water this will remove the coating the put on the pans to keep them from getting damaged in shipping, also if they pans start to loose their sheen you can do this. Another thing is you have to be gentle with cleaning these as using a heavy scrubber or throwing these in the dishwasher and remove the nonstick coating and will void the lifetime warranty. Overall I really enjoy these pans they cook food fantastically well and they look really nice, I would definitely recommend these to any one looking for a long term cookware
