The verdict

Why it scored a 72

At $399.99, the Calphalon Premier 11-piece set is hard-anodized aluminum with a 3-layer MineralShield PTFE nonstick interior, tempered glass lids and stainless handles. Warranty scores 95 on 10-year limited coverage and Reliability 80, but Value sinks to 60 and Features to 62 because the set is not induction compatible and weighs 32.5 pounds. The 4.2 rating on just 195 reviews reflects owners reporting the nonstick losing release after a year or two and lids that fog. It falls below the buy line on price for a PTFE set with those limits; it fits gas or electric cooks who want metal-utensil-safe nonstick and a long warranty.
