Calphalon Reviews

The Calphalon Stainless Steel Large Spoon is very useful for serving foods and for stirring soups, stews, and stocks which are cooking in Calphalon hard-anodized pots (do not use it in the nonstick pots and pans though). I have two, and I keep them handy by hanging them from a hook on my Calphalon pot rack. Even though they are dishwasher-safe, I like to wash all my Calphalon stainless steel kitchen utensils by hand. Highly recommended!

This is the all purpose spoon that I keep above my stove and use all the time. It is sturdy and does great in the dish washer. I keep the slotted Calphalon spoon right next to this one.

The Stainless is flawless. It truely has a mirror finish. I wash it in the dishwasher and a quick wipe again gets the spots off. The only complaint I have which would make my rating a 4.996 on the scale is that the crevices between the spikes are not super round like everywhere else. You can kind of see the pressing of the stainless. You also cant tell that the handle is hollow and makes the ballancing point about an inch in front of where your thumb goes. Very balanced and very comfortable. Also this is 18/10 and is better than 18/8 because it has 2% more nickle and has an added 2% molydenum, which gives it more resistance to harsh chemicals like detergents and salts. Better quality and cheeper than arrogant KitchenAid. Absolutely beautiful as well.

Anyone who owns a Calphalon cookware set needs not be told of its superb quality. I had high expectations for this simple tool and it managed to exceed them:
The stainless steel tool is much heavier than you expect it to be. It has a great feel to it, it looks wonderful, works like a charm, and cleans up effortlessly. Plus, it seems practically indestructable. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this!

The Calphalon Stainless Steel Pasta Fork is an essential kitchen utensil. I have a set of the Calphalon black nylon utensils in a tall crock near the stovetop, and I hang my Calphalon stainless steel utensils from my Calphalon hanging pot rack (all the Calphalon stainless steel utensils have a hole in their ends, and they match the handles of the pans, too). You could also put the stainless steel utensils in a stainless crock (All-Clad makes a set , too).

The pasta fork is so useful. You can use it for the light stirring of the pasta in the boiling water in your pasta pentola, and you can serve your pasta with it, too. I recommend hand-washing this utensil, even though it is dishwasher-safe.

The Calphalon Stainless Steel Slotted Spoon is a versatile kitchen utensil. I use mine (I have two) for lifting vegetables and fruits out of boiling water. These spoons match the newer Calphalon Commercial anodized aluminum and nonstick pan handles, so they look very nice hanging on the Calphalon pot rack. I hand wash and dry mine. Highly recommended!

Very nice steamer - I use it a lot for vegetables like asparagus. One thing I was worried about was whether it would fit in my pots properly, but the graduated ridges work fine with two of my pots. The fact that this one comes with a glass top make it worth the extra money. The only negative is that the handles can get hot, so be careful.

If this is small -- what's big? I bought this spatula to use with a small 8-inch frying pan I purchased. It was suppose to be small. It is 14 inches long, the working end is over 3 inches wide and 4 inches long. Makes it a bit awkward to work with stuff in a pan that is only 8 inches across. It is a very good spatula otherwise. It works great with bigger pans. For that, I would give it five stars. All I need now is something to use with my 8-inch pan.

I've owned a pair of Calphalon spatulas for a few years now. It was tough to find decent metal ones to go with my Calphalon hard anodized pans, which practically demand metal utensils. And while I'm not one of those "I gotta have Calphalon utensils for my Calphalon pans" type of brand-focused people, truth is, they are a great match. The flat portion of the spatula is thin enough to get under practically any foods that might be sticking a bit in the pan, but heavy enough to stand up to daily use. Definitely worthy of five stars.

An absolutely great investment for your kitchen. Like everything Calphalon makes, this spatula is very well crafted and will likely be the last metal spatula you ever buy.

The handle is plenty long to easily flip items without burning yourself, and is extremely comfortable in your hand. The actual spatula part is very strong which allows you to pick up heavier items, but it's also very thin which makes it easy to get underneath things like grilled cheese without smashing the bread. Cleans up very easily in the dishwasher, or even by hand.

You can't go wrong!
