Calphalon Select 14-Piece Space-Saving Hard-Anodized Cookware Set
Our Take
- Yes to stacking
- No to sticking
- A bunch of pans and the lids who love them
- Can they make a margarita: No, but if you want a drink to accompany the delicious meal you use these to cook, check out the wine on offer over at Casemates

Serving Savings
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to buy… SOME COOKWARE!
Get it? Because the Princess Bride tie-in?
But wait a minute: these are just some pots and pans that stack to save space. Why did we think there was some reference to the classic film and/or novel?
Oh, right!
It wasn’t what we’re selling here that made reference to Princess Bride. It’s what’s on offer over at Casemates: Twisted Oak’s The Spaniard!
Not only is it an absolutely delicious longtime favorite; it’s also on sale for stupid cheap. You see, Twisted Oak went out of business so our mates at Casemates snagged what they could and now they’re offering it at blowout pricing. It usually retails for about $49 a pop, but you can get it over there at 20 bucks per bottle (if you buy a case).
Why, at a price like that, space isn’t the only thing you’ll be saving!
But hold on. The wine has nothing to do with saving space. The pans do.
Sorry. We keep getting all twisted up. Much like the oak used to construct these pieces of cookware.
UGH! DAMMIT!
Okay, so these are pots. Also pans. Also lids. They’re designed to fit snugly inside of each other which saves “up to 30% more space.” Than what, you ask? Oh, don’t worry about that! Just know that it saves space compared to… other… stuff?
But enough about storing them. Let’s talk about using them. They feature water-based AquaShield nonstick technology that will make cooking a dream and keep them like new for–cue second context-free number–“40% longer.”
Than… umm… look, just longer, okay?
One thing we can be sure of? You won’t find this for such a good price elsewhere.
Same goes for the wine on Casemates.
Honestly, with all these savings, you’ll feel like a king! And, like they say in the Princess Bride, it’s good to be king!
Hmm…
We screwed up again, didn’t we?
