Amazon.com Review
This set is a wonderful acquisition or gift for gourmet cooks who are just as concerned with the appearance of their cookware as they are with its performance. The set includes all the necessary pieces for a complete kitchen: 8-inch and 10-inch omelet pans, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, a 6-quart covered saucepot, and 1-1/2- and 2-1/2-quart covered saucepans.

Part of Calphalon’s premium Tri-Ply Copper line, this brilliant stainless-steel and copper-accented cookware cooks beautifully and looks gorgeous. The pan’s exterior is crafted of copper--the superior metal for heat conduction--while a heavy-gauge aluminum core runs through its center. The combination of these two metals provides more exact control while cooking and excellent end results. The interior is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which is nonreactive to acidic foods and offers a reflective surface that makes it easier to know when foods are completely cooked. This cookware has Calphalon’s patented stainless-steel Cool-V handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and stainless-steel lids that fit snugly onto the pan for a tight seal. All Tri-Ply Copper cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

From the Manufacturer
Introducing Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper.

A Classic for Today's Kitchen

Precision crafted to deliver the premium performance you expect from Calphalon cookware, Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper unites centuries-old culinary tradition with distinctive style. Featuring graceful curves and a stunning combination of expertly finished metals, Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper is as beautiful as it is hard-working. It will satisfy your eye for fine design as well as your appetite for fine food.

Each piece of Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware is carefully crafted from three different metals--each with its own special benefit in the kitchen.

Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware's brushed copper exterior not only brings lustrous warmth and classic beauty to your home. It also contributes to the superior conductivity and cooking performance of each pan. (Copper is among nature's best conductors of heat.) Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper pans feature an inner core of pure, heavy-gauge aluminum. Aluminum is another highly conductive metal--and the thicker the aluminum, the more conductive the pan. Together, copper and aluminum guarantee quick searing, beautiful browning and the precise cooking control you need to achieve spectacular results in the kitchen.

Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware's 18/10 stainless steel interior surface is non-reactive. It won't tarnish or change color when you cook acidic foods like tomato sauce. It's also highly reflective. That makes it easy to see inside the pan--to judge color and texture changes that indicate when foods are properly cooked.

To manufacture Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware, we bond these three metals together under extreme pressure into a single disk. The disk is then expertly drawn into its final shape-a vessel with equally thick walls and bottom, to ensure even heating.

Tri-Ply Copper is designed in the same spirit of simple, functional elegance that distinguishes all Calphalon cookware.

Gracefully-curved Cool-V long handles stay cool to the touch during stovetop cooking. Clean, unfussy stainless steel covers fit snugly inside the cookware, sealing in heat, moisture and flavor. Flared rims add strength to withstand years of spoon-rapping and cabinet-clashing--and make it easy to pour sauces neatly and safely without drips and splashes.

Caring for copper cookware.

How you care for your Tri-Ply Copper cookware depends on which look you love.

To keep your cookware looking bright and shiny, we recommend you use RADIANCE, the Calphalon cookware cleaner specially formulated for copper and stainless steel. RADIANCE is the fast easy way to maintain a spotless "like-new" shine.

Some cooks love the natural mellow patina that develops when copper is exposed to heat and air. If you're among them, simply wash your cookware in hot, sudsy water using a dishcloth, sponge or Dobie pad.

Always wash your pans by hand--never in the dishwasher. (Automatic dishwasher detergents contain harsh chemicals that can permanently discolor copper.) And be sure to dry thoroughly to prevent spots.

1. Copper exterior and aluminum inner core combine for superior conductivity and precise cooking control.
2. Lustrous brushed copper exterior combines classic and contemporary styling.  
3. Non-reactive stainless steel interior offers the reflective cooking surface many chefs prefer. It's brushed to maintain its like new appearance through years of daily use.
4. Ergonomically designed stainless steel Cool-V long handles stay cool on the stovetop.
5. Heavy duty stainless steel rivets secure handles for a lifetime of safe cooking.
6. Precision fit stainless steel covers seal in heat and moisture.

8. Oven and broiler safe for maximum versatility in the kitchen.

What to expect when you cook with copper:
Exposure to heat, air and humidity changes the appearance of copper. You can expect copper cookware to change color when you cook with it. It may turn a deeper orange, pinkish orange, or even develop purple and blue streaks. This is perfectly normal and is not permanent. As your cookware cools, these colors will subside and a warm, mellow patina will result.

The ideal way to clean copper

Some cooks love the patina that develops when copper is exposed to heat and air. If you're among them, simply wash your cookware in hot, sudsy water using a dishcloth, sponge or Dobie pad.

To restore your copper cookware to its original bright and shiny appearance, we strongly recommend you use RADIANCE, the Calphalon polishing créme specially formulated for copper and stainless steel. Simply wipe RADIANCE on with a sponge or dish-cloth, rinse well and dry thoroughly. (Take care when drying. Any remaining water droplets can cause spots!) RADIANCE is the perfect way to maintain a spotless "like-new" shine.

RADIANCE not only returns your cookware to its original luster and color, it also prevents the gradual tarnishing that occurs when copper is exposed to normal household conditions.

The ultimate cookware/cleaner combination

Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware is subtly brushed to naturally mask fingerprints, tiny scratches and other signs of daily wear. Use RADIANCE along with Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware and you'll experience the ultimate in easy copper maintenance.

Other cleaning methods:

You can also polish copper cookware by making a paste of 1-1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of coarse salt. Apply the paste to the copper surface with a sponge or dishcloth then rinse in hot water. To remove fingerprints and other small blemishes, simply buff your pan with a soft cloth.

Customer Reviews

Good cookware, but delicate
I have recently purchased a full set of Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware. It is much like a traditional sports car -- sexy and well-performing, but high-maintenance. It's nicely designed and solidly constructed, and the thick layers of metal evenly conduct heat all around the contents. It's slow to heat but once up to temp, is easily controlled and cooks very gently. Typical of copper, the exterior layer requires polishing to keep its shiny good looks, and can easily be scratched -- that comes with the territory and is something to be expected. Surprisingly, however (and quite unlike other stainless steel cookware I've used), the s/s interior layer is also exceptionally prone to scratching. The interior's mirror-like appearance is attractive and useful for viewing the contents, but use of ordinary metal utensils leaves unsightly tracks which are there to stay (e.g., cannot be polished out). Calphalon's Tri-Ply Copper brochure advises that metal utensils will not harm the pan -- don't believe a word of it! Be prepared to use nylon or wood utensils if you want to avoid an ever-growing matrix of scratches, or go to a different brand of cookware altogether. I like Tri-Ply for its performance but am not impressed by having to use soft utensils as if it were old-fashioned Teflon.

Great set, tough and pretty
Okay, let's get one thing straight. If you're the type of person who requires your cookware to remain 100% scratch free forever- you are probably not much of a cook. Sorry, but pots and pans are not invincable and if you use them . . . *really* use them, they are going to get dinged, burnished and yes, even scratched. Yet, I have found that these are actually quite resistant to the kind of wear and tear that I have experienced with cheaper products and I have most definitely USED them (metal spatulas, whisking with a fork, accidentally burning oil in them . . . those of you who wince at scratched pans are probably in the fetal position at the mere mention of such practices). Despite my rather kamikaze approach to cooking, the triply has maintained a high degree of beauty and strength. A few scratches here and there, but they conduct wonderfullly and make up for my cheesy apartment range.
The copper discolors when it is exposed to a lot of heat, but I don't really care. The burnished copper turns purple, green, yellow, even blue sometimes, but it scrubs away easily with the proper polish- if you must polish it away. I think it looks fine and is a sort of badge-of-honor to the world. Tarnishes and scratches all declare to my kitchen's visitors that I spend more time cooking with my pans than I do maintaining their pinkish-orange sheen.

Great Quality to Price Ratio!
I am shocked to read some of the reviews that complain about the copper discoloration! It's copper, you should have known this!!! Also, how is it the fault of the cookware if you cannot cook an egg without a nonstick pan? (sounds like the cook and not the cookware!) These pans are great, and easily the highest quality ever offered by Calphalon. The copper exterior makes them super responsive, giving you perfect results. One small quibble is I feel that the fry pans are a bit lighter than my All-Clads so there is a noticable dip in pan temperature if the pan gets crowded or the proteins are not close to room temp before cooking. Also, I hesitate buyuing a set of 10 pots and pans, since it's usually the same 3-4 you end up always grabbing. Still, a solid buy!
