I have Calphalon Professional (H.A.) w/ Flat lids (not rounded/domed) & flat handles. Will this work well w/ my set? If not, what can you recommend?

Not really. I have the flat handles as well and they do not fit. Basically they can sit on the rings but they are not secure and they slide all over. They do not stay in the center but rather just "hang" in the rungs. I absolutely would've returned but had already installed and wasn't in the mood for the hassle. If I knew before hand I woudont have purchased.

My lids with flat handles didn't fit.I am currently using a lid holder on the countertop for the lids with the flat handles. I was only able to use my rounded handles.

I bought a "Calphalon Contemporary 12 Inch Glass Cover" lid. It doesn't fit absolutely perfectly, but it's pretty darn close. And it works perfectly so stuff doesn't get out and splash onto the stove.

If the handles on your pans slant upwards very high, then I think there would not be any universal lids that would work. One of the unique features that I like about the Norpro Smart Universal Lid is the flexibility around the outer edge. Our skillet handles have a sharp rise, but we are able to adjust the lid and it seals. It fits a little off center but gets the job done! I love this lid and I'm very pleased with how well it works on our skillets and pans.

Mine did not come with a lid. I don't know if yours the other will fit ... I have a large Calphalon lid I use when needed but it's flat and doesn't seal well. Good luck.

I can't say for sure because I no longer have the box but I don't see why they wouldn't work. I can't see calphalon, a cutting edge brand, not making cookware that works for all or new technology. Plus, I looked up induction on wikipedia and it pretty much confirms that it would work but you can take a look for yourself. I hope that helps.

I use this for my Calphalon lids and they do not touch each other. It will not hold the largest, oversized cover.

Sure. It works with nearly any medium sized pan that has straight-ish sides. It doesn't need to be Calaphon. We use it with Revere Ware sauce pans too.

I just purchased a Calphalon one - admittedly more expensive - but it's heavy (which is good for heat conductivity) and works like a charm. I think if you only need one, get a 12-inch one, which oddly enough, feels like it's the same size to this one.

Brad,Thank you for your question. Yes, the lids fit perfectly onto the sauté pots. The set is very duriable. I'd but it again, for sure. I flip flop to an from my cast iron but for fast and easy clean up, I use the faberware set. Just can't part with the cast iron as some foods do better in cast iron. The only thing about the set is that the handles on the saute pots are a bit heavier than the pot themselves. So if it's empty, the pot will not balance well. But who cooks food without putting the food in the pot? Right? I think you'll be happy with the set. At first, I was going to go with All Clad stainless still but Faberware has been around since the late 1800s so felt I couldn't go wrong.James Brad,Thank you for your question.

Calphalon is one of the best...the lid fits perfect for my Calphalon skillet because it was made for it. However, I do not know how the lid would fit on other cookware products. Cast iron sell lids for their products. Also, I don't mix and match. Hope this was helpful!

These pot lid holders hold both my lids with round knob type grips, and my Emeril cookware that has flat handle type grips. The knob type fit "in" the slots, and the flat type just fit "across" the slot area.

Yes! The lids fit great, and also size-up well with the skillets, should you need to cover anything with them.

Agree with the first answer; Calphalon lides don't fit in this item. They slide around and/or slide out completely.

No, the steamer doesn't fit the (#8702) 2 qt. pan, but it fits both the 2-1/2 qt. pan and the 4-1/2 qt. pan very nicely. The lid only fits the steamer and the 4-1/2 qt. pan. If Calphalon makes a 3-1/2 qt. pan, the steamer would probably fit that too, but I don't have one that size.

Yes and no. The lids will work, but they are a bit smaller in diameter than the fry pans. In other words, they fit the pots precisely but not the skillets. They get the job done adequately and it's not a problem for us at all.

I was fortunate that the lids on my set did fit well from the start. But I tend to misplace them. A good substitute is the lid from a can of coffee (most brands, maybe not all).

It's been a while since I bought a set like this, so can't speak to the stainless, but the pieces share lids and have their own lid in many cases. I am not a fan of the Colander style lid much preferring the old style since it would fit the smaller skillet. This set appears to have the same sized lid on the chefs pot and the sauté pan . This is very handy as one can just pick a lid and it will fit. I have a very large number of Wolfgang cookware. Many over 12 years old and they are just as good now as when new. I wash them by hand not in dishwasher so they still sparkle. Food does not generally stick and clean very easily. For stains use Bar Keepers Friend.
