Calphalon makes fantastic cookware at a fantastic price. Anna and I received two Calphalon non-stick omelet pans almost 5 years ago for Christmas and they still look and feel as if they were brand new.

When we next purchase new cookware it will be this exact set — we prefer the stainless over the non-stick, and we love the way the Calphalon pots, pans, and covers look.

This 13-piece stainless set includes 8-, 10-, and 12-inch omelet pans, 1.5- and 2.5-quart sauce pans with covers, 3-quart chef’s casserole with cover, 3-quart saute pan with cover, and an 8-quart stock pot with cover. And right now the set is on a fire sale at Amazon for 50% off.
