From the Manufacturer
Infused Anodized Cookware
Calphalon One is revolutionary hybrid cookware that combines the best qualities of traditional metal and nonstick cooking surfaces. Calphalon One lets you sear, sauce, and cook exactly the way you want without sticking, staining or tough clean-up.
By means of an exclusive, breakthrough anodization process, interior and exterior surfaces of the pans are infused with an advanced release polymer. Unlike nonstick coatings that simply sit on top of metal, this material actually penetrates below the surface, into the pores of the metal. The infused anodized cooking surface offers superb durability and versatility in the kitchen.
Exceptional searing
Heavy-gauge, highly conductive Calphalon One sears foods quickly and evenly. Meats and poultry brown and develop rich flavor and texture on the cookware’s infused anodized surface. Browned bits on the bottom of the pan (called "fond") form readily. Calphalon One is ideal for deglazing and making pan sauces.
Extreme durability
Use any utensils you like--including metal--when cooking with Calphalon One. The infused anodized cooking surface won’t scratch or peel. Crafted from heavy-gauge aluminum, Calphalon One withstands high temperatures without warping. Pans feature flared rims for extra strength, too.
Cooking versatility
Calphalon One is ideal for virtually any kitchen and any cooking technique you can name. It’s compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops and safe for use in both the oven and the broiler.
Easy, reliable release
Infused with an advanced release polymer, the Calphalon One cooking lets you control when foods release from the bottom of the pan. You’ll experience considerably less sticking with Calphalon One than with traditional metal cooking surfaces--and you’ll cook with more confidence.
Quick clean-up
Hot, soapy water and a dish cloth--that’s all you need to keep Calphalon One sparkling clean. The infused anodized cooking surface releases foods as easily during clean-up as it does while you cook. To keep your cookware looking new, occasionally clean it with a Scotch Brite pad and Barkeeper’s Friend cleanser.
Classic vessel shapes
Like the classic French cookware that inspired its shapes, Calphalon One vessels are designed to deliver optimal results with specific cooking techniques. Calphalon One is constructed from heavy-gauge aluminum and features flared rims for protection against wear and tear and to facilitate pouring. Ergonomic handles and contrasting stainless-steel covers bring both greater versatility and beautiful style to the cookware.
Cool comfort handles
Triple-riveted and ergonomically balanced, the contoured handle stays comfortably cool for stovetop cooking. The stainless-steel handles are carefully balanced and proportioned to make cooking with every Calphalon One pan comfortable and convenient.
Resists Stains
Calphalon One cookware offers stain resistance to even the toughest foods. Both interior and exterior surfaces of the cookware are infused anodized to resist staining and make cleanup even easier.
Lifetime warranty
Calphalon One Infused Anodized cookware is covered by a Lifetime Warranty. Calphalon will repair or replace any item found defective in material or workmanship when put to normal household use and cared for according to instructions. Minor imperfections, surface markings as a result of shipping, and slight color variations are normal. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse, such as improper cleaning, overheating, dishwasher use, use of caustic or other unapproved cleaners, neglect, accident, alteration, fire, theft, or use in commercial establishments.
Before You Cook
Wash your new pan and cover in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Do not season your pan before using it. To enjoy optimum performance from your Calphalon cookware, keep it scrupulously clean. Any kind of oily residue on your pan can cause foods to stick.
Heat Settings
Use a lower heat setting than you normally would. Calphalon cookware heats and cools more quickly than other cookware because it's made of heavy-gauge aluminum. It's important to use the right heat setting for the cooking method you're using. Experiment to find the right heat settings on your stove.
Oven & Broiler Use Infused anodized pans can be used in the oven and under the broiler. They are designed to go from a hot broiler to a hot oven and will withstand hot temperatures without warping. Handles will become very hot in the oven or broiler. Always use a potholder or mitt.
Cleaning and Care Do not clean Calphalon One Infused Anodized cookware in a dishwasher. Dishwasher detergents will damage the surface. Dishwasher use will void your Lifetime Warranty. Hand wash your cookware thoroughly inside and out after every use. Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth or sponge. To restore your pans to "like new" condition, wash with a green Scotch Brite pad and Bar Keeper's Friend. Pay special attention to rinsing when you use Bar Keeper's Friend; without careful rinsing, the cleaner may occasionally leave a powdery soap film.

- Do not use oven cleaners or other caustic cleaning solutions, baking soda, automatic dishwasher detergent, liquid bleach, liquid household cleaners used for walls, floors, porcelain, etc.
- Always allow your pan to cool before washing. Submerging a hot pan in water can cause irreparable warping.
- For stubborn burnt-on spots, allow your pan to cool then soak in hot, soapy water for 10 minutes. Burnt-on foods will lift off after soaking.
- To restore shine to stainless-steel covers, wash with a dish cloth or sponge and Bar Keeper's Friend.
- Because Calphalon One is hand-crafted cookware, you may notice subtle variations in the pans' finish. These "character lines" are perfectly normal--a natural result of the manufacturing process.

Calphalon One makes a GREAT Pan
I've been collecting Calphalon One pieces over the last few years to add to my arsnel of cooking tools at home. I have been very impressed with their performance and durability. I find the saucepans and pans to be very well made and to perform like the true champs they are. Here I am only talking about their Infused Anodized pans and not the Nonstick. I have been taught to cook by 4 Star chefs and I usually prefer cooking home than eating in most restaurants. I have many different pans for different applications including: cast iron, LeCreuset, stainless, All Clad, nonstick, etc,etc and I find some excell at different things or maybe it is my personal liking. These are definitely heavy duty well made pans which should last one for many years or a lifetime and your cooking should improve by using them. The 12 inch, like others in the line need a little time to come up to proper heat for searing and they cook like a dream. It is a great all purpose pan. The one thing I don't use it for is eggs, there are pans which perform better with eggs. This pan is great for searing, sauteing etc and for higher temp cooking. It is very important to follow Calphalons care and use guide. Like let it cool before washing with warm soapy water and a sponge or scrubee. Don't put a hot pan into warm or cold water as it will warp. Don't put it in a dishwasher! If you get stains get some Barkeepers Friend at Walmart for $1.50 and the stains will be gone. Usually I find hot sudsy water and a scrubee sponge cleans them up just fine. The NONSTICK thing. This pan and all Calphalon One Infused Anodized Pans are definitely NOT nonstick as a Teflon coated pan would be. I think in their initial marketing Calphaolon mistakenly said it was "almost" nonstick and that was their error. Then they used the term "quick release" which I find to be more accurate. Food does release quicker than from say stainless or cast iron...but Teflon releases much faster. For my style of cooking I only use nonstick for a few items. Having a good searing, browning, deglazing and sauteing performance is more important to me and with that style of cooking I need the little bits and fond for sauces. If your cooking style requires Nonstick don't buy the Infused pans. Buy the Nonstick a Teflon or similiarly coated pan. If you enjoy cooking the 12 inch Infused is a great pan to have in your arsnel and well worth the price you may pay because it will last for many years. And Calphalon One has a Lifetime Warranty which is cheerfully honored. So you just can't go wrong buying one and you are buying an American made product.Know Your Nonstick
I admit, I have been avoiding Calphalon One products for some time. Some due to the questionable reviews I have read on Amazon and other sites, but mostly because I have made a *significant* investment in the earlier Calphalon Professional and Commercial lines and could not deal with the thought that my cookware might be somehow obsolete. But I finally tried it and...much to my horror...it worked as advertised. What's the buyer needs to understand is that the infused aluminum does not cook like Teflon. It actually cooks more like decently seasoned cast iron...meaning food sticks briefly at first but quickly releases once it browns and the pan promotes fond development for sauces and gravies. That means you need to follow traditional cookware rules...preheat the pan dry and add your grease or oil right before you add the ingredients. That's right, you cannot cook fat free with this cookware, but you don't need a lot either; I use just a non-aerosol oil spray. Remember the old Chinese adage i.e. "hot wok, cold oil, food won't stick." The only major difference from cast iron cooking-wise is Calphalon One does not retain heat the same way. So you should preheat a bit hotter than you would iron because the pan will lose temperature as soon as food hits it. When you are slow cooking in it, use a pizza stone to regulate your oven's heat. But also unlike cast iron, it's relatively light weight, you can cook and store acidic foods in it, and clean it without worrying about rusting or re-seasoning. Now, if you are looking for a pan for stick-prone foods like eggs, rice, or pancakes, get a Teflon or Teflon-like skillet. Calphalon One Nonstick is tremendous stuff because it can take real heat, enabling it to properly sear meat and saute vegetables. But it will not leave a good fond for a pan sauce. Confusing product descriptions
I bought this pan thinking that it was the same type as two others that we already own and love, but I was wrong... You do not want this pan! You want the Calphalon One Infused NONSTICK pan. Calphalon One Nonstick 12-Inch Fry Pan Apparently Calphalon makes two versions of the "One" pan, this one is a few dollars less and it does not have the non-stick feature, it sticks like crazy and is difficult to clean. The non-stick version of this pan is a dream. It virtually never sticks and is easy to clean. If you're spending the money for a Calphalon then spend $10 more for the right version of their pan.| List Price: | $150.00 |
