Wow, I had no idea the price of these went up so much since I bought this Calphalon one nonstick set 6 years ago. I was looking to add to my set and still plan to as it's such a NICE set of pans. Nothing sticks, it's unbelievably easy to clean. I had just received a Calphalon contemporary (price was right) and it's no way as nice as the Calphalon One is. I have had mine for 6 years and they still look brand new. It's best to not use metal but on occation my husband has used a metal fork/spoon and it did not ruin the surface of my pots and pans. It heats wounderfuly and doesn't require much butter/oil to use. I can't say enough about how pleased we are with Calphalon! I am a lifetime user of this brand and will continue to add more "One's" to my collection!

I bought this set, along with a single anozidized fry pan to complement it. I love the non-stick for its ease of use -- it cooks wonderfully due to the heat conduction capabilities and cleans like a dream! You can also brown better in this non-stick than in others I have tried.

I liked it so well I just bought a set for my niece for her wedding gift!

Compare with the anodized version: I love the anodized version too. While it does not behave like a non-stick, it is better than stainless skillets (I am not sure it would be better than a well-seasoned cast iron skillet) but it behaves admirably when I want a higher temperature sear (e.g., seared tuna). A quick soak removes what sticks on and it cleans up real well.

So I heartily recommend both the anodized and the non-stick!!

I love this cookware. They are the best pots and pans I have ever used. Nothing burns, nothing sticks - everything comes out perfect and clean up is a breeze. I would highly recommend Calphalon One to anyone.

I was sceptical, I admit it, when I bought this set.
I had previously had Circulon anodized pans which were hopeless.
My Sisier encouraged me to get these, she has them and she wanted to convince me that the Circulon design and not the anodized coating was the problem.
She was so right, these pans do what they say and stay nice and clean to boot, being not at all difficult to keep that way, whatever the task you throw at them. Solid little workhorse pans, wish I had had them years ago!

I like the cookware. Solid as Calphalon always is, If you follow the link on the Bonus item, it shows a 1-2 day availability. Today is Dec 26, ordered on Nov 9. Still waiting for the bonus.
