Scratch faster than teflon
Purchased this set from C&B. The larger pan turned out to have scratches on the anodized part already and after a few gentle uses started chipping. The small pan was flawless. Same looking spoons and cleaning methods used on both. I got these aiming to get at least a decade of use.

Will last for years, IF you follow the instructions.
The only reason I'm having to buy these pans, is because of my son-in-law. He has ruined my other pans by NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. These are the rules with any non-stick pan that you want to KEEP non-stick. 1) No high heat! These pans work exceedingly well at low and medium. Even pre-heating these pans on high will warp the metal and damage the non-stick coating. 2)HAND WASH ONLY! Automatic dishwasher detergents have caustic agents in them that will damage certain metals and will ruin non-stick coatings. 3) NO SPRAYS! Things like Pam have a propellent in them that will also damage the non-stick coating. 4) NO COLD WATER ON A HOT PAN! Who does that? I've seen him take a sizzling hot pan and run cold water right out of the faucet on it. Really? I'm sure that he does that to get the grease out, while the pan is still hot. But, doing so will warp the metal and ruin the non-stick coating. 5) NO METAL UTENSILS! Again, who does that? I've seen metal spoons, ladles, forks, spatulas and even KNIVES used on my pans. Don't do that. Just.....DON'T.Calphalon brand pans are some of the best on the market and will last YEARS if they are treated with care and respect. I have a full set of Calphalon pots and pans. I am very pleased with them and have full confidence that everything I cook in them is going to turn out great. Good purchase. Five stars.

This is an awesome pot
I really like this pot. So far I've done a soup, a goulash, I've even done scrambled eggs in it. It heats up nice and even, and is super easy to clean up. I love the built in strainer on the lid. It makes it so much easier to drain noodles or vegies. A great feature to have. I highly recommend this pot. I'm already looking to buy more from this line.

Brilliant pot!
Just the right size for my one-person household, very easy to clean, great draining features (spout and holes in the lid). Exactly what I was looking for and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend it!_________________EDIT: I'm going to take one star off because the handles get really hot and I've already burnt myself twice :( Still a great pot but the scorching hot handles are a problem...

Less than 6 months and the finish is chipping
The finish on the pan probably started chipping 3 months in. The pan was always difficult to clean - never really 'non stick'. There is a layer of burnt material stuck to the bottom which I can't get off. My older non stick pan (different brand) I used for years and it never chipped. It only had a small amount of material on the edges which couldn't be removed. I only replaced it because the handle was loose.

Disappointed
This product has some great reviews which is why I bought it and had such high expectations.I mainly use cast iron but wanted this for frying eggs which I do at least once a week. It was fine for a few weeks and suddenly eggs started sticking to it. It's not terrible, but considering the price and the care I put into this, I was really expecting a lot more.Plus, it doesn't sit perfectly flat on my glass stove top, so it spins if you bump it at all like there's a small point directly in the middle.I'm still using it making sure to keep the heat very low to prevent sticking.There is another pair of Teflon frying pans on Amazon that I plan on purchasing in the near future because of the lackluster performance of this one. Hopefully they'll turn out better than this one.
