Features
The Tri-Ply collection incorporates many of the same great features that you would find in the brand’s Classic Stainless Steel cookware, but improves on performance. This is thanks to the triple-layer inner core that includes a heavy-gauge aluminum core situated between two layers of stainless steel. The aluminum allows for excellent heat conductivity, while the stainless steel layers prevent food reactions and make maintenance a breeze.
In addition to improved performance, this line of cookware also includes the following features:
- Long handles that stay cool
- Dishwasher safe
- Full lifetime warranty
The pots and pans in this collection feature polished stainless steel for a classic look that complements any kitchen.
Pros
- Triple-layer core with heavy-gauge aluminum inner core and two layers of stainless steel.
- Induction cooktop compatible.
- Dishwasher safe.
- Polished stainless steel look.
- Full lifetime warranty.
- Stay-cool handles.
Cons
- Some items in the collection are not broiler safe.

Price
The Tri-Ply collection is Calphalon’s mid-range line of cookware. Although the sets in this lineup are more expensive than the Classic Stainless Steel collection, the Tri-Ply collection has improved heat conductivity and performance. That being said, this collection is still a step below the Unison Nonstick lineup, which includes a superior nonstick surface that keeps food flavorful and moist.
Durability & Maintenance
Tri-Ply cookware is surprisingly easy to maintain and very durable. All items in the set are dishwasher safe, but Calphalon recommends hand washing to preserve the stainless steel’s natural shine and luster.
If you’re looking for a cookware set that provides excellent heat conductivity, durability and versatility at an affordable price, the Tri-Ply cookware set form Calphalon is the perfect choice.
