Set includes: 8" omelette, 10" omelette, and 12" omelette, 3qt chefs casserole with cover, 7qt chefs casserole with cover, and 2.5qt shallow saucepan with cover. Heavy-gauge aluminum is responsive to temperature changes. These pans feature the original Calphalon hard anodized surface, which is stick resistant, meaning that it sticks when you want it (when your searing, browning) and releases when you need it to(when your food is ready). If you know how cast iron cooks, you know how the hard anodized cooks, but hard anodized has many beneifts that make it better choice- aluminum is a better conductor than iron, you never season your pan(so you dont have flavor transfer from dish to dish), and it doesn't rust! All pans are spun or drawn into shape, which makes the entire pan (sides as well as bottom) the same thickness, which guarantees even heating throughout. If you enjoy cooking and want the best and most versatile surface for performing a variety of techniques- this is the surface for you! Metal utensil and broiler safe. Lifetime Warranty.

Quality cookware...fraction of the price I've seen them elsewhere...ability to deglaze and make tasty sauces...I'm in...
I gave this as a Christmas present and everyone has loved them. A year later I'm looking for pans for myself and I find out I can get the same pans for nearly the same as I paid before.

I too bought this set of 9-piece Calphalon Commercial cookware and only in Jan. 2010. I wrote to Amazon.com before the 30-days were up to register my dissatisfaction with the quality of the cookware but received no response. Anyway, since it IS cookware, one must use it to find out if it meets the claims made by Amazon.com but then they require the items to be new before a full refund can be issued. What is one to do with a set of expensive pots and pans that is not really quite commercial quality?
Anyway, the product information and description for this cookware is misleading when it states
1. that the list price is $492 when the quality just does not match that price, and
2. that this set of cookware "features the ORIGINAL hard anodized surface which is stick resistant..."
Aside from the "sticky" problem and whatever marks those are that will not wash away, the scratchy sound of the lid against the saucepan is the most disconcerting--it gives me goose-pimples if I am not careful. Not sure if this too is part of the ORIGINAL product from Calphalon...
It is comforting to know I am not the only customer who is disappointed with this product with the wonderful claims and reviews--perhaps those were the ORIGINAL cookware made in another time zone. Oddly enough, this item that is no longer sold by Calphalon is made specially for Amazon.com. (Now that is something to chew on.)
Anyway, the cookware is usable of course, BUT for this price, I could have gotten cookware that is better quality, more hardy, more hassle/worry-free (a lot more), and probably prettier too. (The discount won't be so "great" probably but neither will the discrepancy be between list price and brand expectation.)
Amazon.com should revise the product review and description, reduce the price, and get Calphalon to rename this product. And while they are at it, change the photo too -- the cookware is more gray than black.

This cookware set includes a great variety of pot / skillet sizes that can be used for a wide variety of cooking needs. They are heavy weight and clean up wonderfully. I do reserve my nonstick skillet for certain foods as this set takes some getting used to since it is not nonstick.

Food sticks to pans. this was made in China not the USA. Poor workmanship, if I had known before hand I never would have bought it for my sister. Very disappointed that Amazon would deal with this kind of product. I will be thinking a second time before I use Amazon again.
