Summary: Some good qualties BUT rust, rust, rust
Comment: I purchased these pans a few weeks ago for two reasons. First, the set I had for the past five years was rusty under the outside rims and it was irritating. Second, someone using the pans in recent years scratching the coating. So imagine my disappointment when I removed them from the dishwasher the first time to see rusty water dripping from them. Because I didn't have time to immediately clean the rust water off the dishwasher interior after I removed the pans, I still have rust stains on the inside of the dishwasher I can't quite get rid of. The largest pan also had a slight dent in the bottom when it arrived that cause me to consider returning it, but I decided against it. Too bad I didn't do it.
On the positive side, the pans are HEAVY...and I mean that in a good way...compared to my old pans. The coating also appears thicker and more likely to weather the test of time.
In the end, if I'd known about the rust problem (I should have read reviews!), I would not have made the purchase even with the great price.
Customer Rating: Summary: Calphalon quality for generic price
Comment: We've been converting our entire cookware/bakeware/utensil collection over to Calphalon. We'd purchased two half-sheet jelly roll pans directly from Calphalon's outlet store some months back, and paid the same for those two pans as we did for this set through Amazon.
These pans are heavy. REALLY heavy. We love that - there's nothing worse than taking a pan out of the oven and having it "flex" and dump food, grease, etc. fall off because the food on it weighs more than the pan can handle. You'll never have that problem with these.
While most Calphalon products are dishwasher safe, we take the stance that any high-end item like this deserves to be washed and dried by hand with a mild dish soap. As a result, we've never had an issue with any sort of rust or damage to the surfaces of our cookware and bakeware.
One thing I really like about these pans is that they are designed to nest well with each other for storage even with the different shapes and such.
At any price, these are a good buy - at Amazon's sale price, they're a steal.
