The Calphalon One Infused Anodized 10-piece has a revolutionary non-stick cooking surface. Using advanced science, Calphalon has taken a high-tech release polymer and infused into the metal cooking surface of Calphalon One Anodized Cookware. What makes this so unique, is that instead of the non-stick coating sitting on top of the surface of the cookware, this special polymer is integrated into the cookware’s surface. The wonderful result is that you now have an amazing sear and release non-stick surface that gives you the freedom to create masterful dishes. This infusing process creates a cookware that doesn’t stain, peel or react to acidic foods.
Have metal utensils? No problem! Gas cooktop? Electric? Ceramic? No problem! Calphalon Infused Anodized Cookware is durable and safe for all of these and you can put them into the oven and broiler as well. And one great feature you’re going to love is the easy clean up non-stick surface with just hot soapy water and a sponge.
The heavy guage anodized aluminum core is highly conductive and allows for fast and even heating during cooking. Infused with the advance release polymer, the inside and outside of the cookware is stain resistant and cleans up easily. Clean up can be almost as fun as cooking – well maybe not, but at least it’s going to be easy!

Product Description |
| This exciting hybrid combines qualities of both traditional metal and non-stick cooking surfaces. Now not only can you brown, sear, and reduce sauces as the recipe intended, but you can also breathe a sigh of relief as you won't have a battle removing food and stains from the pan following use. How did this happen you ask? CALPHALON ONE INFUSED ANODIZED is manufactured with a revolutionary anodization process. Both interior and exterior surfaces are infused with an advanced release polymer which actually penetrates below the surface of the metal, into its very pores, offering superb durability and versatility. The intrinsic properties of aluminum ensure fast and even heating, as you've come to expect from Calphalon. Pan frying and sauteing are some of the most frequently used cooking techniques. Fast, easy, and efficient, and all covered in the instructional DVD that accompanies this set. |

 Great cookware, but extremely poorly packed... |
| Review Date: November 30, 2004 |
| Reviewer: lee280zx, San Diego, CA |
Note: There is an error in the description of this set. The set includes 10" and 12" fry pans, not 8" and 10" as described.
If you've read the other reviews here, you probably already know that this is reduced-stick, NOT nonstick, cookware. There is a nonstick version of this cookware, and if you want nonstick, you should buy that. If you don't know why nonstick cookware isn't desirable for all cooking, you should do some reading before spending this much money.
I upgraded to this cookware from a set of anodized aluminum cookware (not nonstick) that I've had for 10 years. I probably don't need cookware as good as this, but as I learn to cook more and different things, I'm sure I'll come to appreciate this cookware more fully. For now I can state that it is a huge improvement over my anodized aluminum cookware. It performs as promised by the manufacturer, and cleanup is relatively easy.
I have had one major problem with this set. Four of the six pans included in the set were significantly damaged. The box wasn't damaged; the packaging as a whole is simply very, very poorly designed. When you open the set, the first thing you will have to do is pry the 4 1/2 quart saucepan from inside the 3 quart chef's pan. Inspect the outside of the 4 1/2 quart sauce pan and you will almost certainly find damage from the rivets in the 3 quart chef's pan below. I also found damage to both of the fry pans and the 3 quart chef's pan.
I returned the damaged pieces to the store where I bought the set. We had to open 4 more sets to replace the four damaged pieces. It took 5 sets to assemble one 10-piece set in satisfactory condition! The manager of the store is sending the other 4 sets back to Calphalon. What a waste of my time and good cookware.
The damage I refer to included nicks, dents and gouges that tended to occur in the same places in the pans in each set. There will be some bright silver marks on the set that you might think are chips in the surface, but that isn't the case. They clean up nicely with Barkeeper's Friend. If there's no dent, nick or scratch left when you clean them, you should be fine.
I called Calphalon about the issue. They acknowledged problems with the packaging and said that they had taken steps to correct it (though all of the sets I saw were packaged the exact same way).
Calphalon's answer was for me to ship the damaged pans to them first, and they would in turn send me replacements. But I didn't buy the set to be without it, and there was no guarantee that the replacement pans would not be damaged. At the very least they should send the replacement pans, allowing the customer to return the damaged pans in the same box.
Anyone buying this set should really anticipate the likelihood of the need to return the set or individual pans due to packaging/shipping damage. Inspect your set closely. |
This is the cookware set to have!

I read the other reviews for this cookware which made me kind of worried but I purchased it anyway. For anyone considering Calphalon One Infused (not the non-stick) don't worry yourself over any of the reviews that talk about how food sticks to this cookware as it simply doesn't. Is it totally non-stick? No, things will stick a very little, but just as much as they should to make great sauces that you can't do with non-stick. You can also use metal utensils which is a huge plus (I hate using plastic spatulas to flip over easy eggs as it's too thick and causes yolk breaks). I can make scrambled eggs and can clean the pan with just a paper towel. Just the smallest amount of oil (after the pan is heated) is all you need.
Anyway, don't be worried about any of the reviews that talk about these pans sticking. Either these people don't know what they're doing or they have cookware from another company and regret their decision.
A few tips (that have nothing to do with Calphalon, just with all good cookware).
1) Don't use oil in an aerosol spray can. The aerosol propellant will cause spots on the cookware which you won't be able to remove. This is true for all cookware. Just never use aerosol spray oil. This could be one of the reasons why people think they can't get pans clean, it's not the food, it's the aerosol propellant.
2) Don't put anodized cookware in the dishwasher. The reason is that the anodized process uses acid to change the aluminum black and dishwasher soap is mostly bleach so it acts like a strong base. Basically, if you use dishwasher soap on any anodized cookware, it will make it look modeled or blotchy. It won't break the pans and everything will still work just fine. The only thing it will do is make the cookware look older than it is. If you keep the bleach away from anodized cookware, they will keep their new look. This is true for any anodized cookware, not just Calphalon. Also avoid any kind of cleaner with bleach as this will do the same thing over time.
3) Pre-heat cookware before you add oil. This should be done with all cookware, not just Calphalon.
4) Let the cookware cool before cleaning (which will make clean-up easier). This should be done with all cookware, not just Calphalon.
5) Use Bar Keepers Friend brand to clean the cookware every so often to keep it looking brand new. I've used Bar Keepers Friend for many years on stainless steel sinks and it works equally well on just about any cookware including Calphalon.
Finally, don't even consider the non-stick version of this cookware. The Calphalon One Infused (not the non-stick) is the one you want. You'll love it! |
You will absolutely love this cookware!! (All-Clad lovers beware)

I originally bought the Calphalon One Infused Anodized 10 piece set back in 2004, shortly after it just came out. Prior to this set, I was only using the All-Clad Stainless Steel... I bought the Calphalon One set because I had a friend who highly recommended it - She said it was better than All-Clad. So I decided I had to try it for myself!
Nearly two years later, I must say that she was right! I'm sure some of you have heard the saying that food cooked in stainless steel tastes better...?? Well, I must tell you that food cooked using Calphalon One tastes even better than food cooked using stainless! The texture is better, and the taste is more flavorful! C1 also browns better than stainless steel!
After converting to C1 from All-Clad, I decided to do some research to find out what makes C1 better. For one obvious reason, C1 is made of anodized aluminum. Aluminum is a far better heat conducter than stainless steel (but not better than copper or silver), however, anodized aluminum is stronger than regular aluminum AND stainless steel, and does not react with foods the same way that regular aluminum does (especially with acidic sauces, etc). You see, All-Clad uses the tri-ply construction method in their stainless steel line, where a layer of regular aluminum is sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel (and the layer of aluminum that All-Clad uses is fairly small compared to thickness of C1 pans). Calphalon One pans are simply stronger, and feel more solid compared to All-Clad. Not to mention, the handles on C1 pans are much more comfortable compared to All-Clad.
While C1 is not dishwasher safe, the quality and taste of the food definitely make up for this. I have read several reviews where people were under the impression that C1 infused anodized was also non-stick. While the pans are stick-resistent (clean up is EASY), they are not non-stick! If you want non-stick, then buy the Calphalon One non-stick line. I have also read reviews where people complained of food sticking when using Calphalon One infused anodized. This is because these people probably do not know how to cook (and non-stick would suit them best). If you don't know how to cook on a non non-stick surface, then this cookware may not be for you...
Again, I have had this set for almost two years, and I keep adding more C1 pieces to it. One very impressive note is that my oldest C1 pieces still look fairly new! While anodized aluminum will stain over time (similar to staining on stainless steel), Barkeeper's Friend will remove those stains and keep your cookware scrupulously clean and looking new for years to come!
Needless to say, my All-Clad pieces have sat in the cupboard, unused for quite some time...

Beware amateur!! This is not a nonstick cookware

| Calphalon One is hybrid hard anodized cookware that infused with polymer. This is not a nonstick cookware. This cookware has the characteristic of the hard anodized aluminum cookware while the infused polymer provide the nonstick effect (if you use it correctly). It is less stickier than regular anodized cookware. On the advertising, calphalon doesn't say that calphalon one is a nonstick cookware (I mean the one like teflon coated cookware). It says that calphalon one is infused anodized cookware. They are two different things. You can tell that a cookware is a nonstick (teflon coated or whatever) by seeing it and feeling it with you finger. "Calphalon One is revolutionary hybrid cookware that combines the best qualities of traditional metal and nonstick cooking surfaces."
In this quote, calphalon does not say that calphalon one is a nonstick cookware, BUT, it has the quality of both traditional metal and nonstick cooking surfaces. It says that calphalon one sears perfectly, release with ease, deglaze beautifully.
To get the nonstick effect, you have to heat the pan first until it's hot enough, then, pur the oil, and put (let's say) the steak. Let it sear for several minutes until the pan releases it. You shoud try to turn the meat, if it still sticks, it means the pan hasn't release the meat yet. DON'T TRY to turn the meat before the pan releases the meat, because the meat will stick like crazy. After the pan releases the meat, you can turn the meat with ease. Calphalon One is a very good cookware. You just can't use it like a Teflon coated nonstick cookware. If you like hard anodized cookware, this calphalon one is an upgrage that featured "sear and release" technology by infusing the polymer. |
Why you want this cookwear

| After looking for over a year for the best cookwear for my needs, I finaly decided that this was the way to go. THIS IS NOT ENTIRELY A NON STICK COOKWEAR! This is more of a midway between the traditional Calphalon and their new non-stick line which will be out in July of 04. I bought the 7 quart saute pan and was so excited to be using metal utensils, I could have done a cartwheel. This pan cooked like a dream. Clean-up was a snap, but again, it is NOT A NON-STICK PAN IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE! So you have to ask yourself what kind of a cook are you? If your prority is to have a quick clean up - then go with a non stick group like the new Calphalon that is coming out in July. If you are really into cooking well with a set of cookwear that allows you to sear, brown, cook evenly, heat your pan well etc...go with this. It is attractive (great if you hang your cookwear from a rack) it is a heavy group of cookwear that gives you a good solid base, and it cooks like a pro set. If COOKING is what you want...this can't be beat. If the cleaning part of cooking outweighs that...go non stick. Calphalon has a great customer service group too. I LOVE THIS STUFF! |
