Hi All,
A while ago I posted a Q about what you prefer to cook with. Nine years ago my hubby got me a set of Calphalon Commercial Non-stick cookware for Christmas. And since then, I've added to it here and there and now possess a fairly complete set. Okay, I still need a saucier, but since I suck at making sauces, I'll let that go for now.
About 5 years ago, the 3 QT saute pan stopped being non-stick. So, in accordance with the Lifetime Warranty, I sent the pan back to Calphalon for replacement. And I got their new Calphalon One saute pan in return. No small deal, this sucker goes for $199.
Well just recently I got off my big behind and finally sent back the 8" and 10" skillets that also failed on me. Now, I was a little skeptical that they would replace them because the suface looked like it had little cuts to it. When I originally got the cookware, I religiously replaced all my metal utensils with Calphalon utensils - flippers, ladles, etc. I learned back in the 70's when my mom got her first Teflon pans to never, ever use metal utensils or even, dare I say it, use a knife to cut something in the pan. I can only surmise that the flipper I used made those marks. It does have a sharp edge to it.
So lo and behold, yesterday I come home to find a big package on my doorstep.
And it contained my new 8" and 10" Calphalon One skillets!!
I know that everbody has their own preferences when it comes to cookware, but I just wanted to give KUDOS to Calphalon for holding up their end of the bargain when it came to their Lifetime Warranty. They could have yanked me around about replacing almost $400 worth of cookware, but they didn't.
Thanks Calphalon!!
