Side by Side Comparison of: Calphalon vs Wilton

This was a curiosity purchase. I have the pots and have been happy with them. They have been used for light weight baking and I have not seen them warp as others have mentioned.

These can be scratched. Just like their pots so do have the right utensils when working with them.

So far I am happy.

Great baking set! Bought for Christmas and have used the bread pan, brownie pan, muffin pan and cookie sheet almost weekly since. The cake pans are too small for my use, but would be nice for a petite little cake. Love the Calphalon quality. It really is good for the price and the pans tend to last for years.

So far so good, I'm starting to cook alot more. I needed someone I could use and not have to purchase again after a year. So far so good. I have used multiple times. Easy to clean, nothing sticks, works great in the dishwasher.

Bought these as a gift. My granddaughter loves these. Has held up very well

This is the best bake ware I've ever used. The nonstick surfaces are wonderful. Cookies slip right off. I love everything Calphalon.

LOVE this pan. Easy to clean. Love that I can bake and then slip a lid on for leftovers.

I used this pan for a drawer under a bench in my shop, by adding wood runners. I have bought several of these pans over the last year. My loves them to cook in as well. Nice and heavy duty, plus a slick inside surface.

Love it. It works great. Nothing yet has stuck to it. Haven't really tried the lid but it all goes together great and is in great shape. Cooks well and does it's job. Very worth it. We've had one before and the lid make it a simple task to save left over cakes or casseroles without needing to chop it up for storage containers or use crappy wraps.

This is a great pan for cakes, brownies or cookie bars. I especially love that it comes with a cover for easy transport, so it can be used for potlucks or picnics or any time you may need to bring a dessert or casserole. It is easily washable, the cover fits well, and it is an all-around good product! Wilton is a leader in baking and cake products, and this pan is an example of why. It does not disappoint! It is non-stick, so there is easy release of your baked goods, easy-to-serve, and clean up is a breeze. It is a heavy gauge metal pan, so it spreads heat evenly and the heavy gauge metal prevents warping. I've had cheaper pans warp in the past, so I'm really happy with this purchase. So far it has been an excellent buy!

The pan and plastic lid are well made. I love corn bread and this unit is the cat's meow. The pan works perfectly and the lid allow for keeping the bread stored at room temperature for several days with no loss of moisture or flavor. The lid sets and removes easily. I've only used it a couple of times but I would already recommend it.

I received it early this morning . Used it already to do a baked spaghetti dish. Even cooking and so easy to clean. No sticking - No stains. It will always look wonderful. Of course I have been buying Wilton pans for years. They last for years.This pan is especially nice . No spraying with oil - the food just dips right out so easily. I do not intend on putting in dishwasher or using metal utensils to dip food out. I will use wooden or nylon dippers. The cover fits nicely. And there is a 5 year warranty.

These pans bake hot so watch you're baked goodies.

Good set. Unfortunately scratches pretty easily so you need to be careful. Nonstick works great though and is very easy to clean.

The enamel scratches pretty easily.

I read a fair amount of negative reviews on this item and the warping of the cookware, however i have not had that issue yet or the rusting issue either. For the price i have to say i am satisfied with the quality of the pans. Its not top of the line naturally, but if you want that then expect to pay three times as much otherwise for the value of these pans you cannot go wrong. They feel pretty sturdy and strong to me. I have not used the bread or muffin pan yet, but i have used the other ones multiple times already.

Value = Excellent
Price per piece =Excellent
ratio of quality to price = Excellent
Quality of items without price in mind = OK

Very high quality at an affordable price. The coating is well-done and the pans all have a satisfying weight (for bakeware, mass means better heat retention and distribution). My only complaint would be that this set should have 2 bread pans and 2 muffin pans. Highly recommended.

This is a good pan and the size is what many recipes call for. It cleans easily and is quite sturdy.The cover is for storage, not to be used in the oven or when the pan is still hot, as it is plastic and will melt.

Bought these by mistake. Realized they were too small for baking meat/chicken casseroles as soon as they arrived. Gave them away and bought a much larger Wilton baking pan which has worked very well for me.

I love this pan, it's my all-time favorite pan. We haven't had any problems with the pan itself, nothing sticking. It's easy to clean. My only problem was the lid. I got it in and it didn't want to stay on, and now, it won't stay straight; it keeps popping up. Probably has to do with it being plastic, but not a big deal.

I bought a couple of these as germination chambers for garden plants. Ones designed for that purpose were far more expensive, and no where near as sturdy. Combined with a little heating mat makes getting the season started easy.

Used this for Christmas dinner for my corn casserole which can be a pain to wash afterward. This pan pretty much became clean just by running water over the bottom. I love to bake so this pan will be used a lot, time will tell if it holds up. The only thing I don't really care for is the lid. This type of plastic lid seems to always break from someone just trying to get the lid off. I'm gonna try to keep an eye out for anyone taking the lid off but with grandchildren I don't hold out much hope for the lid. I'd love to see the lid made from metal with maybe a plastic piece in the middle for viewing, something that will last as long as the pan. I'll be lucky if the lid will last six months, then it will join all my other lidless pans.

This is my wife's favorite pan for storing baked goods like cookies, cup cakes, sheet cake, etc. The lid seals very tight and keeps food fresh. The only complaint is the difficulty some people have opening the lid, which has small, rather inconspicuous tabs near the corners to lift, which releases the lid. You have to pull two at the same time in order for the lid to release easily.My brother-in-law broke our last lid trying to get at some chocolate chip cookies because he only release one corner and just tried to muscle the lid off. Thus we are now purchasing a second because my wife won't live without this thing.

He set is nice, the round layer pan is smaller than I usually use, but I love the product.

Dripped rust the first couple of washes, but once that stopped it was all good.

Rusted after awhile and to be fair if there were special cleaning instructions I did not follow them but I am disappointed as the coating wears off and flakes off into teh food very bad I had to throw them out I will continue to look for top quality bakeware even if I need to spend much more

We purchased these after moving into a new house but I think we will be replacing them soon. After less than a years normal use and proper washing and drying we are getting quite a bit of rust spots on all pieces. Also the nonstick seems to be working less and less regardless of what is being cooked in it. So in short it's a good cheap set to start out with but in time you will need to invest in some quality bakeware.

The life expectancy, like most non-stick finished bakeware, really depends on how you treat it. I purchased this set and gave the casserole and loaf pans to a friend of mine, and kept the other pieces. Now, about a year later, and with frequent use, on the two round cake pans and cookie sheet, they are still holding up fairly well. My cakes slide right out of the pans, and the non-stick coating looks the same as it did brand new. The cookie sheet has a few spots where the coating has discolored, and the raised brand name in the middle of the pan (which Im not sure why they placed that there) has started to rust on the letters.
I cannot say the same for the pieces I gave away, as my friend says that they scratched and rusted within the first few months of use.
I think that I would purchase this set again, mostly because it was a good price, and included all the pieces you need for any kind of baking job.

Like the pan. Lid was cracked on arrival, with a corner broken off. It still closes, so I didn't bother to return. There is nothing wrong with the pan itself.

Pan itself is nice -- nonstick finish works. However, the plastic lid does not fit tightly onto the pan. It will not keep the baked goods in the pan fresh because it is not airtight.

It was nice and the price was right. Was not happy with the lid. Stayed on fine before I used it. The top just will not stay on! But I just use a large rubberband on both ends to hold it together.

Good pan, cover is mostly useless since it does not fit the pan correctly or stay on. Luckily I mostly just wanted the pan anyways but if you're looking for a covered pan I'd maybe choose something else.

I purchased this item one year ago because it was a non-stick baking pan. For a while the pan worked fine. When I baked a batch of brownies recently, cooled them and removed them from the pan, I noticed the bottom of several of the brownies had pan coating flecks making them inedible. When I washed the pan I noticed that another part of the pan had lost its coating and some rust had developed in the pan.This pan has a 5 year warranty so I contacted the manufacturer and they told me "Please note Wilton pans are meant for baked goods only and any other food source will affect the coating. We recommend using parchment paper. Wilton pans are not stick free, they have to be sprayed with a baking spray or coated with shortening and flour. Please send us a photo of the pan as Wilton requires proof of purchase and we’ll be glad to replace the pan as a one-time courtesy. Please allow up to 2-3 weeks to receive. Please note it may be a different pan than the pan you have however we try to send the same size."I was surprised to learn that their "Non-Stick" pan was not stick free even though it has non-stick coating. I had used Pam but coasting came off anyway and into the food. Further the description says the item can be used for Brownies, Cake, Lasagna, Casseroles but rep says only baked goods.I have not abused this pan at all and use plastic or silicon tools with it. But the coating is clearly failing and coming off in the food. I gave a rating of 2 because it did last a year.Update: I received a replacement pan from Wilton today 4/7/16. The item is the same size, darker coating and has a 10 year warranty versus the 5. I have upgraded the rating from 2 stars to 3 for their customer service.

After only two or three times being used it has permanent stains. I left some water in it after washing and those stains are there for life. Besides that, the top fits perfect and it seems well made. It's light weight for the double insulated kind.

The cookie sheet warped at temperatures as low as 350 degrees. I can't make cookies at all. The other items are sturdier, probably due to a higher rim.

Pan did warp in oven. Not heavy gauge by comparison to any other baking pans I have owned in 40 years. It isn't the product I expected from Calphalon although it the price seemed cheap.

This isn't the best set. I've definitely had much much better. The 9 X11 sheet twists every time I put it in the oven and makes a loud noise It does straighten back out). When I put it in the dishwasher rusty water pores from around the edge even those I wash it standing on its side (???), weird. I've had the set for 4 months and it has done this since day one.

I am usually very fond of this brand and look for it at places when I need things, it is usually very good quality. These are not. I had a set of these used a couple of them one night to cook dinner, firsts use ever, washed them, let them dry, then went to put them away and the rolled metal around the edges had a surprise for me. This part was still full of water and had proceeded to rust. The rusty water went everywhere. I had amazon send another set thinking it might just be a faulty pan. Not at all the set I have now does the same thing. But hey they look alright and they do work I guess.

I bought 2 sets of these for my daughters..they started sticking about 3 months after they were bought. They were well taken care of but seemed to be losing their non stick coating..and not as heavy duty as I believed they would be.

Bought this thing about 6 months ago and it is absolutely covered in rust now. The non-stick scratches fairly easily, then rusts. Tossing this thing in the trash and trying another brand.

I rarely write a negative review, but please don't get this pan if you expect the lid to stay on. It pops off WAY too easily, which for me defeats the purpose.

The lid does not snap on to cover the pan. The metal is much thinner and lower quality than other Wilton pans purchased in the past.

If you can scratch this pan without metal utensils, that spells CHEAP! So remember to use an invisible knife when you slice your brownies.

Sorry I bought this one just because it turns out 8" square is the common size for brownie and cake mixes so it's too big. I wanted one with a lid, so I bake in my old 8" pan and remove it from that pan to store in this one. OK, but not the best solution.

Plastic lid was cracked in several places. The main reason I ordered this one was the lid, but I don't want to go through the trouble of returning it. The pan seems good.

I've had this set for about 8 months. The coating on the cake pan is peeling off the pan itself. I do not feel safe eating food cooked out of it for fear I'll ingest the lining. I'm disappointed, I had better opinions of Caphalon before purchasing this set.

After one use (cooking a roast beef) the finish scrubbed off on the roasting pan. I own Calphalon pots but the roasting pan included in this set is workmanship is less than a dollar-store knock-off. Does not live up to the Calphalon brand quality.

Awful quality. 1st time I used the cake pan part of the coating peeled off. Used a cookie sheet to bake bacon and the coating stuck to the bacon in places. It is inexpensive for a set including this many pieces but sometimes you get what you pay for. Would not recommend.

I have purchased Calphalon products before and I absolutely love this cookware. I bought the bakeware from Amazon with the same expectations. However, this dishwasher-safe bakeware comes out of the dishwasher with rust colored water every time, staining all around it. I have never had heard of any Calphalon products doing this, but I am very disappointed with this purchase.

Junk. I wish I would have remembered to write a review sooner. The coating chipped right off after a few uses and they rust very quickly .

Lid does not fit. Like the pan but got it because it came white a lid for transport. Can't use it. Other reviewers said the same. Should have listened.

Has to have their special pan spray.

The two pieces are nice quality ; however the plastic top does not snap on securely, so every time I pick it up, the cover moves.Not reliable for travel or to move anywhere. Very disappointed.

It rusted the first time I put it through the dishwasher although it says it's dishwasher safe. The lining is bubbled up all along that same side. Very disappointed! Hadn't even baked in it yet!

I would not recommend this set. I washed the pan after I received the box in the mail. I did not use an abrasive scub brush. Some of the non-stick coating already flaked off and there is rust around the rim. I will not be using this one for baking. Hopefully, my recycling company will take it.

After about 4 times using it rusted!! I don't use metal or put in the dishwasher. I hand washed and hand dried and had to throw it away!
