Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Love the Infused Anodized Comment: Can't believe what I'm reading on some of the earlier reviews. Love the calphalon one - even take it camping and use it to cook on the campfire because it cleans so well! Just soak in hot water for 15 minutes, and even the worse stuff comes off easily. Wish I had bought it a long time ago. Customer Rating: Summary: Who can say anything negative about Calphalon One? Comment: The 10-piece set we ordered a while back is the best cookware we could imagine. Beautiful, durable, and eminently cookworthy. Of course, the one item missing from the set was the 1-1/2 quart saucepan that my wife -- now that we have an empty nest -- uses the most. So the 1-1/2 quart has been on our wishlist for well over a year. Amazon offered it at the best price I've seen: $100. Worth it? Well worth it, consider saving a $10 lunch per month for the next ten months and enjoy this piece every night. I would have given this item 4.9 stars, but Amazon doesn't allow fractions of stars, lol. The one and only reason I cut it down from 5 is that our set all came with lovely glass lids, so you can watch and enjoy what's going on inside. This one comes with a metal lid. Small deficiency! We also ordered the Calphalon One Chef's Skillet, which likewise came with the metal lid, but which has brought a smile to our lips on many occasions. Not one bad thing to say about Calphalon One! Customer Rating: Summary: Lives up to Calphalon reputation! Comment: This item was added to my set - absolutely adore this line of cookware! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Stuff! Comment: Love my anadized one cookware. Easy to clean, even heating, and good feel to it! Would definitely recommend! Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Buy if you have Hard Water Comment: I've been a loyal Calphalon customer for 14 years. When I got my first 8 piece set of Calphalon hard anodized pans, I felt like a real chef. The performance of those pans was better than I could have expected. Three years ago my husband and moved to the country, and we now have well water. The hard anodized stock pots quickly began to wear down (the frying pans have been fine). There became a distinct difference between where the water sits in the pan and where the pan is dry - with the bottom half of the pan looking as if the entire coating had worn away. So, after a year of looking at my stock pots, and worrying that we were now cooking on raw aluminum, I bought two stock pots from the One series. I have been very disappointed with the results. Although I did not mind the One design or construction, I am again looking at two-toned pots with a nearly white bottom half where liquid sits and the normal block top half. After trying some different cleaning agents to see if perhaps there were simply deposits on the pots, I have concluded that the pots' coating has worn away. You can actually feel a slight rise where the coating is and an indent where the coating has disappeared. Who knows that I'm now cooking on, and what we've ingested. I am now faced with having to replace these pots again. I'm not sure what to try next - but for those of you who have hard well water, don't bother with the pots. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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. A sauce pan this size is handy for cooking rice or bulgur wheat, for making sauces and puddings, and for heating soups.
