| I keep a kosher home and need 2 sets of cookware. I have All-clad for meat section(very happy). I now need a new one for Dairy (pasta, sauces, soup). I do a fair amount of cooking and dont mind spending. I want a great quality and dont want to buy another one for a long time. I have a gas stovetop. Stainless steel is my preference. Please help! there is so much out there. |

| Maybe just a different line of All-clad so that you have some sort of visual cue to differentiate the dairy set? The brushed exterior? The black (Ltd2)? If you don't have a strong preference for US manufacture, you might look at the Calphalon tri-ply. I have a couple of pieces and they seem pretty good. |
|
| I do want them to look difference as not to mix them up. I was looking in to Calphalon. whats the diffence with the tri-ply and the Calphalon Contemperay set? |
|
| The Calphalon tri-ply and Contemporary set different in the design and finish (one is glossy, the other is brushed). Both designs, however, are still made of tri-ply material (alumninum core with SS outside layers) throughout the pots/pans. Don't be confused with their Simply Calphalon cookwares. The tri-ply material is only located at the bottom of the pots/pans. |
|
| I forgot to mention that the Calphalon Contemporary cookware has a slightly convex bottom. It's not suitable for induction. Whereas, the Calphalon triply SS cookware has a flat bottom and it is made for induction as well. |
|
| you are saying that between those 2 there is not much of a difference? so why is the tri-ply 100$ cheaper ? |
|
| No, they're not exactly the same. The Contemporary triply SS is more popular than the triply glossy SS. Therefore, the tri-ply glossy SS is cheaper. It's what we call Consumer Demand. Let me compare the 2 Calphalon sets again for you. Similarities: - Both are made of triply on the base and the sides. Differences: - The designs of both are different. I do own both styles. Since I don't have induction cooktop, my preference of course was the Contemporary set for its style. I have the whole set of the Contemporary triply SS. Later, I stumbled upon some individual pieces of the glossy triply SS. The prices were too good to pass and they were in the size that I need and use often. If you're still unclear, you can email to Calphalon for questions. They're actually pretty good in sending reply within 24 hours (weekdays). |
