Very Pleased
If you are looking for good quality, affordable cookware, I highly recommend Calphalon Contemporary for the following reasons:
1. No teflon or aluminum in contact with the food
2. Lids fit perfectly. Lids on regular Calphalon and other cookware we looked at were loose fitting, wobbly.

4. "China" is not stamped anywhere on the Contemporary. This meant a lot to us. All other cookware we looked at including the standard Calphalon had "Made in China" stamped on the bottom.

not excellent, but it's ok
I bought this Calphalon contemporary multi pot just because i needed a pot for steaming vegetables and Calphalon compliments multi pot got a lot of bad rates. So I thought this one should be better considering that it has a lifetime warranty and not only 10 year warranty like the Compliments line has.

If you boil the water in it with the lid completely covering the pot then the water starts to splash out all over the stove! But the steam should really go back into the pot from the edges and not outside the pot. And also the handles of the pot and the lid do get hot so you should not touch it with your bare hands.
So would i recommend ... Read More
Calphalon Potys and pans
These are the best pots and pans my wife and I have ever used. We strongly recommend them. Great values are possible if you have the patience to wait for sale prices.
Calphalon 8 Quart
Great price from Amazon website, saved lots of money. The Calphalon pot is very useful in the kitchen, I used it to steam vegetables, and cooked pasta and limited the amount of pots and pans used for dinner. Also, very easy to clean...!
