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.

• High heat for boiling or reducing liquids only.
• Medium to medium-high heat for sautéing, stir frying, and frying.
• Low heat for warming food, simmering, and preparing delicate sauces.

Stove-Top Use
When sautéing, stir-frying or frying, always preheat the pan at the temperature setting you'll use to cook. Preheating provides maximum control. The pan is properly preheated when the rim is hot-to-the-touch. Do not preheat on high. For cooking techniques such as sautéing, stir frying, or preparing an omelet, preheat at medium to medium-high.

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.

Customer Reviews

Wished I had used this sooner...
I love my new Calphalon One Infused Anodized Wok! I have been cooking for my family for over 11 years with a non-stick wok and I got tired of having to change woks every 6 months. I constantly use high heat for chinese cooking and the non-stick coating wears off pretty fast. So I decided to do some research on which non-stick wok is the most durable in the market but was shocked to learn that non-stick coating or Teflon may be a likely carcinogen to humans. So, after extensive research between an All-Clad stainless steel wok and a Calphalon One Infused Anodized wok, I picked the latter one because I still wanted the feel of that non-stick cooking although I know that it won't be 100% non-stick. After purchasing one, I immediately tried to saute some baby bok choi first. The veggies didn't stick at all! Not only that, they cook so much faster and they taste so much cleaner and sweeter. I think its because they got cooked so fast that they retained their sweetness and crispiness. I was so pleasantly surprised. Next was the "meat" test - "Chicken wings with oyster sauce". To me, this is the "sticky" test since oyster sauce has some sweetness to it that burns faster than regular soy sauce. In goes the garlic, onion and ginger first and they did not stick when stirred until they were fragrant. Then I put in the chicken wings and again, I was so surprised because the wings cooked so fast and they didn't stick! Since the wok is so evenly heated all the way up the side walls, the wings were being cooked not only on the bottom of the wok but also the sides. During the final 2 minutes, I cranked up the heat to "brown" the wings. Initially, they stuck a little bit to the wok but with a gentle push, the got unstuck easily. The dish was done half the time it used to take. Amazing. But even more amazingly, the baked-on and charred oyster sauce and juices on the sides of the wok came off so easily. Just run hot water and rubbing the wok with a soft sponge and soap. No scrubbing was necessary. This wok is worth every penny. It may seem very expensive at first, but this thing will last forever (I hope), so it is actually very economical. It will also save you money on gas because it minimizes cooking time. This wok that I bought is made in Ohio, USA. I also purchased the Indian wok from this same line and it is also made in USA. The most important thing to follow is to always heat up the wok first, like about 2-3 mins on medium heat. Then add oil and wait another half minute before starting to cook. This prevents any sticking to the wok. Preheating is the most important thing to do when you saute or stir fry on this type of cookware or on any stainless steel cookware.

Best of All Features
I have been using this wok almost every day for approximately two weeks now and this product has surpassed my expectations in every way. With the right settings (for example, make sure the wok is hot, and coat the interior surface with just a little bit of oil before cooking) you will find this wok a great pleasure to work with. I am able to brown the poultry and still release the meat very easily with just a little nudge with a spatular. I also use this wok for stir-frying of vegetables, steaming, making sauces, etc. Note - do not confuse this product with Calphalon's non-stick lines of products, as it is not marketed as a non-stick wok. It is stick-resistant. Therefore you will see a little bit sticking, but that's just fine as you will be able to deglaze very nicely with the remnant bits and pieces left in the wok.

To clean the wok, just fill the interior with some hot water and wipe, it will be ready for the next task in just a few seconds. I have experienced no discoloring issues.

Wok works fine, but it's expensive
Food doesn't stick to it, I don't have to use a lot of oil, it's easy to clean, and I can use metal utensils. Unlike nonstick pans, this wok actually gives the food a bit of brown color. This is the first wok I've ever owned, so I can't compare it to other woks, I can only compare it to other nonstick pans.
Is it worth the money? I am not sure. It IS quite expensive. But it does a good job, and it forces me to stir fry more often (to get my money's worth!).
If you don't stir fry, you should. I can now get an entire meal ready in less than 10 minutes. Yeah, my house smells like sesame oil and garlic every time I use my wok.
