Calphalon One Infused Anodized 10-Piece Set DR10B

Date Published: 4/25/06

The Calphalon One Infused Anodized 10-Piece Set DR10B utilizes the latest technology to produce a revolutionary material that sears and browns perfectly, with minimal sticking. Although the cookware is not considered a nonstick product, through Calphalon's patented anodization process, both the interior and exterior surfaces of the pans are infused with an advanced release polymer.

This material penetrates below the surface and bonds with the microscopic pores of the metal. The result is an amazing surface that heats quickly, sears meats, reduces sauces, and more--without staining, or tough cleanup. The sticking that does occur is necessary to create that rich brown "crust" that is characteristic when deglazing so you get a deliciously rich sauce.

Calphalon One Infused Anodized delivers performance along with ease of release and easier cleanup than traditional hard anodized pans. The pans are safe for use on all stovetops, as well as in the oven and under the broiler. Any utensil, including metal, can be used without risk of scratching. The 10-piece set comes with 10-inch and 12-inch fry pans, 3-quart Chef's pan with cover, 4.5-quart saucepan with cover, 11-inch Chef's skillet with cover, and 8-quart stock pot with cover. Each of the pans has a triple-riveted stainless-steel handle with a little opening for hanging the pans. The lids are also made from stainless steel and fit snugly over the pans to seal in flavors.
