I donated my Calphalon (which I rarely used) and bought a small set of Tramontina and a couple of non-stick induction-ready skillets. I looked at it as an opportunity to downsize my cookware and get what I really needed.

Selling it might be possible. Sounds like you have enough stuff that it could generate some money offsetting some (if not all) of the cost of new cookware. For pricing, I'd suggest checking the closest Craigslist to see what those pans sell for. Maybe worthwhile offering on CL instead of a garage or rummage sale. Might find something useful for pricing by searching used cookware in those brands on eBay.

Donations as alervay1 suggests. Besides Goodwill, etc., additional options for donations/gifts could be:

* Have any kids who need or could use the cookware?

* How about nieces, nephews, or cousins?

* Friends who like Calphalon and/or All Clad Ltd.?

If you do any car camping/touring/RVing or longish vacation rentals, maybe save a set for that.

I donated mine, but I didn't have anything worth any money.

i saved mine for my kids. they use it at college and when they eventually move out, they can take whatever they need. some pieces were past their prime and went in the trash...

i second CL, ebay or garage sale...people buy anything and everything.. and if u have an extensive collection the money will help to buy induction ready cookware as stated above.

good luck.. you will love induction, its the best, IMHO

I've been planning the switch through all recent pan purchases including carbon steel pans and Woll diamond non stick. I don't have much left that isn't induction ready. The Miele range is waiting to go in soon.

(I was going to switch to induction in this current build, but can't afford to, yet, so my comments are a reflection of what I was planning to do...)

I have several nice Calaphon pots and pans. My thought was going to be to dedicate them towards oven use rather than range/stovetop use. They can also work atop a wood burning stove.

The cheaper stuff would be donated or trashed, but a few pieces I'd keep for my camping trips.

I have a really nice glass pot -- in the oven or atop the wood stove would work for it.

I have been replacing old frying pans with induction-ready pans over time. So, yes, when I am ready, at least some of my cookware will also be ready...

I'm giving my well-loved All Clad LTD set to my brother for an Xmas gift (his suggestion).

Kept some for our outdoor kitchen set up (really just a sink and camp stove!) and are giving the rest away to family/friends as "presents". I'm sure you can sell on CL if you want to put in the time/effort.

I donated one set. I gave another set to my niece. I gave my AC griddle to my SIL. I have the calphalon in the basement for a vacation home that doesn't exist. I will probably give to my niece or nephew at some point or sell on CL.

One of our kids is getting a very nice "donation" of our stainless Cuisinart cookware.

I offered it to my neighbors, who took some of it. The remainder I took to goodwill. My stuff was okay quality and about 18 years old so it didn't really have any value, but was still quite useable.

I need to find someone to give my Calphalon to, otherwise it will be going to Goodwill.
