Calphalon Unison Essentials 3-Piece Cookware Set

Calphalon Unison offers the convenience of dishwasher-safe nonstick cookware while sacrificing nothing in culinary performance. This hardworking duo consists of a 3-qt. saute pan and 10" fry pan that share a single lid to save valuable kitchen storage space. Heavy-gauge hard-anodized aluminum with three interlocking nonstick layers provides excellent heat conduction and uniform cooking; exterior won't chip, peel, stain or scratch. The fry pan's Slide surface effortlessly releases delicate foods. The saute pan's Sear surface is specially textured for even browning. Both surfaces have a durable nonstick interior for flawless release and convenient cleanup. Tempered-glass lid seals in moisture and fits both pans. Triple-riveted ergonomic handles stay cool on the cooktop. Dishwasher safe. Made in USA.

Great duo!
May 6, 2013
I love the depth of the Sear pan for quick browning and the size of the Slide pan for an easy release omelet. They're both easy to clean and very durable.

No Regrets
May 6, 2013
I hesitate buying cookware without touching it first but I love using this set. The size is just right for me. I like the weight not too heavy or too light. The non-stick surface is as good as any I have ever used. Would highly recommend.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Weight

Easy clean-up!
April 26, 2013
I have only had these pans for a short time and have used them for quite a few meals and cooking tasks. I made sure that I read all the reviews/instructions before purchasing/using them. Taking care when it comes to which utensils I use in them and I also hand wash them. They clean-up so easily even after sauteing lots of veggies in them. I am not going to use cooking sprays as I have in the past with other pans so as not to leave a residue on them. A little olive oil works fabulously!
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean

Beautiful Set
April 26, 2013
These are my favorite pans, they cook beautifully and clean with no effort. The price was great as well. The lid fits on both so takes up less storage room. I highly recommend the set.

Great set for just about everything
April 16, 2013
Bought my wife the larger skillet of this set for Christmas 2012. This set came out a few weeks ago and we just had to have them to complete our set. We cook a lot. These take the abuse and are a joy to cook with. Great value for such great pans.

Fabulous value
April 15, 2013
The pans are a great value as one would expect from Calphalon. They are not too heavy, heat evenly, and food doesn't stick. The interchangeable lid fits well.

Love this cookware
April 15, 2013
Good quality cookware with a good weight and feel. I own other Calphalon utensils and they cannot be put into a dishwasher. This says that it is dishwasher safe. I will probably handwash anyway - but I do like having the choice.
The pans heat and cook evenly.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Weight

The Best Cookware Ever
April 11, 2013
After years of struggling with inferior nonstick pans, Calphalon has really come up with a winner. These two pans are perfect, and the lid fits both perfectly, too.
Evenly distributed heat, beautifully balanced, heavy enough without being awkward to use, and a snap to clean -- what's not to like. And at this price, I should buy a set for everyone I know!
Maybe the handles are a little longer than they need to be, but that's a minor quibble, given how wonderful these pans are.
Thanks, Calphalon, and Williams- Sonoma!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Versatile, Design, Weight
Cons: handles a bit long

What a Great Trio
April 8, 2013
I've only had these pieces for a few weeks, but have used them a lot. I love that the lid fits either pan - wonderful storage saver becasue I can turn the lid upside down on the saute pan and then the fry pan sits perfectly on top! I also like the simplicity when it comes time for cleanup!

Disappointed with Scracthes
April 4, 2013
I have only used the large skillet one time. I noticed when I was hand washing it that it already had scratches in the bottom of the pan. Your instructions said to use wooden or nylon utensils. I used only a wooden spoon. You should alter those instructions to read only nylon utensils.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean
Cons: Quality, High-Maintenance

Have you considered silicone utensils?
Several years ago I replaced all my wooden and nylon utensils with silicone utensils and I am glad that I did. I have a number of Calphalon pots and pans and they are not showing any sign of scratches. In addition, the silicon utensils that I have, are rated up to 500 degrees. I do agree that Calphalon should update their recommendation to include silicone utensils.

Two Thumbs Up To Calphalon

This cookware is absolutely wonderful! I simply cannot say enough positive things about it. It cooks items evenly and painlessly and is the best thing I have purchased in a very long time. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I use the sauté pan every day
March 17, 2013
The sauté pan really does provide even heat, unlike some of the others I have to use when cooking several items at the same time. The only claim I disagree with is that the pan is not dishwasher-safe. I made the mistake once of putting it in the dishwasher; it came out pitted, despite the fact that I rinse loose solids from everything before putting anything in the dishwasher. That was an expensive mistake. The pan hasn't lost its even-heating or easy-to-clean qualities despite the dishwasher experience, so I still use it daily.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile
Cons: not dishwasher-friendly

Great pans poor shipping dept
February 12, 2013
I have used calphalon unison for sometime now.and i love the cookware. I live very rural and getting to a Williams=sanoma is hard, I have used online only recently. twice the shipment box condition has been VERY POOR. Great service at the stores. Great service when you call about the shipment, but who ever the conpany has hired to box and ship the products is effecting the reputation of the company and the should be look at hard,
Pros: Durable, Easy to Clean

Great Pans Poor Shipping
Your comments about the pans is what calphalon is all about...but before you trash their shipping department..look at you delivery company too. Sometime it the way the carrier shipping methods are. I don't work for WS but I work with one of the giant shipping companies in the great USA....Meme

Just perfect
February 6, 2013
I needed to replace a nonstick pan. These had been available a while ago and I missed them. Not this time and I am sooooo glad. The saute pan is a grat all purpose size and the sear pan I used tonight for hamburgers. They came out perfect! And the pan cleaned up easily...
all this and a lid!
Don't hesitate....
