Calphalon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calphalon is a brand of cookware products owned by Newell Rubbermaid. Calphalon cookware has stick resistant surfaces made of anodized aluminium rather than the more common Teflon coating. Calphalon also produces the more traditional non-stick coated cookware. Calphalon is a premium cookware company which is currently owned by Newell Rubbermaid. They have special pans which have a surface known as infused anodized, and the more traditional nonstick currently available on their top of the line model, Calphalon One. There are four major lines currently in production, Calphalon One, Contemporary, Everyday (Tri-Ply/Nonstick) and the lesser Calphalon variant Kitchen Essentials. Calphalon pans feature either an aluminum core, which provides fast, even heating, or a stamp forged aluminum disk to provide the additional heat dispersion.
Infused Anodization is a process by which Calphalon places polymers of nonstick between the pores of the cooking, and exterior surface. The result being a semi-nonstick surface which has amazing heat resistance, and is also resistant to scratch. It is possible to use metal utensils on Calphalon One, Infused Anodized without worrying about damaging the cooking surface.
There are Four Calphalon Outlet stores, Two in Texas, One in Massachusettes, and one in Gilroy, California.
At this time, Calphalon is the only company which uses the Infused Anodized process, which is Patented.
