Circulon Elite Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set

Circulon Elite Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set
As a former Calphalon owner, I couldn't be more happy with this new Circulon cookware set. By comparison, my new Circulon outweighs, outperforms, and is just a higher quality set of cookware. And this set on Amazon was $140+ cheaper than the Calphalon, which I bought on sale in a dept store! I can tell immediately that the non-stick interior is tougher, and it is very easy to clean. The Calphalon non-stick coating was flaking away (and into my food!) after just a couple of years -- and no, I NEVER put it in the dishwasher; I only washed it by hand. I will continue with this Circulon -- in fact I just ordered the 3 qt saucepan to round out the set. If you decide on the Circulon, you won't be sorry. (One caveat, the covered 12" covered pan doesn't have the extra loop handle as shown in the picture. But I had a similar pan in my old set, and didn't find a need for the extra handle anyway.)
