Calphalon One Nonstick delivers flawless food release, even with the stickiest foods. There's no need to use added fats when cooking with Calphalon One Nonstick, so low-fat cooking is a breeze. By means of an exclusive anodization process, the exterior surface of Caphalon One Nonstick cookware is infused with an advanced polymer that prevents staining. So clean-up is effortless, both inside and out. For nonstick convenience, exceptional durability and easy clean-up, it's the one nonstick you need in your kitchen.                   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. Cooking With Calphalon Nonstick Cookware 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 also important to use the right heat setting for the cooking method you're using (not too high or too low). Experiment to find the right heat settings on your stove. No two stoves work alike. Determine where the settings work best for your stove. You may want to write them down for future reference In general, we recommend: •  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. Cooking Oils and Sprays With nonstick cookware, the cooking surface doesn't determine the amount of fats you use to cook. You can use very little or no added oils at all. Or you can use as much butter or oil as you like. You decide --that's the beauty of nonstick. So, use oils or fats for added crispness, color, or flavor, if you like. For a golden color and crisp texture with hash browns, pancakes, and sautéed meats, apply a thin coating of butter or margarine. You may also wipe a thin film of canola, olive or other oil over the cooking surface. Utensils Use only plastic, coated, or wood utensils to protect your pan's nonstick finish. Calphalon offers a complete line of nylon cooking utensils developed especially for use with nonstick cookware TIP DO NOT use metal utensils, sharp instruments or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, release or whip foods in any nonstick pan. Such use can damage the nonstick finish and void your Lifetime Warranty. Stove-Top Use Preheating When sautéing, stir-frying or frying, always preheat the pan at the temperature setting you'll use to cook. Preheating provides maximum control for the cooking process. The pan is properly preheated when the rim is hot-to-the-touch. Do not preheat on high to heat the pan faster. For cooking techniques such as sautéing, stir frying, or preparing an omelettes, preheat at medium to medium-high. This will make sure your food begins cooking properly as soon as you place it in the pan. TIP: The Butter Test Heat the pan over medium to medium-high heat. When the rim of the pan is hot-to-the-touch, rub a teaspoon of butter over the inside of the pan. When the butter begins to bubble briskly (it should not brown), it's ready for the ingredients. If the butter begins to burn and turn brown, the heat setting is too high. Carefully wipe the burned butter out of the pan with a paper towel, lower the heat and begin again. You can do the butter test even if you don't want to use it as a cooking medium, simply wipe it out with a paper towel and use the medium of your choice, or none at all. Heat cooking oils Whether you are using a hard-anodized, stainless, copper or nonstick pan, it is important to heat the butter or oil to the right temperature. Add oil or butter and allow to heat a minute before adding food. Preheating brings the pan and oil or butter to the right temperature so the food surface sears immediately. It also keeps foods from sticking in hard-anodized pans. Fats and oils work in various temperature ranges. Use the type of oil or fat called for in the recipe. PLEASE REMEMBER Shorter handles, higher cooking temperatures and longer cooking times can cause handles to get hot, especially Hard-Anodized products. Cool V long handles on Infused Anodized and Commercial Hard Anodized dramatically reduce heat conduction along the handle allowing for more comfortable cooking. Oven & Broiler Use Nonstick pans are oven safe to 450°F. Nonstick pans are not approved for broiler use, which will damage the nonstick surface of the pan. PLEASE REMEMBER Handles will become very hot in the oven or broiler. Always use a potholder or mitt to prevent burns when removing pans from the oven. Cleaning Nonstick surfaces Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth. Please note, pans with a stainless exterior and nonstick interior can go into the dishwasher. However, hand washing is recommended. Hand wash your cookware thoroughly inside and out after every use. Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth. After sautéing or frying, we recommend cleaning nonstick pans with a Dobie pad and a recommended nonabrasive cleaner (see below) to remove any food residue. Recommended Cleaners •   Dish liquids intended for hand-washing such as Dawn or Joy. (Do NOT use dish detergents made for use in the dishwasher for hand-washing purposes.) •   Soft Scrub with bleach, Bon Ami Recommended Cleaning Pad •   Dobie pad DO NOT USE Abrasive cleansers or cleaning pads, oven cleaners or other caustic cleaning solutions, baking soda, automatic dishwasher detergent, liquid bleach, liquid household cleaners used for floors, porcelain, etc. Always allow your pan to cool before washing. Submerging a hot pan in water can cause irreparable warping. TIP If eggs and other foods begin sticking, even after following preheating and butter test instructions, it's a sure sign that grease and food residue have built up on the cooking surface. Clean thoroughly, referring to the recommended cleansers. Lifetime Warranty Calphalon Commercial Nonstick cookware, Contemporary Nonstick cookware and Commercial Nonstick Bakeware are covered by our Lifetime Warranty. And Simply Calphalon Hard-Anodized Nonstick is covered by our 10-Year 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. ]]> admin@vitalwares.ca http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1392 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:09:19 -0500 1392 Calphalon Calphalon One Nonstick Sauce Pan http://www.vitalwares.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1272 http://www.vitalwares.com/product_reviews/calphalon-one-infused-anodized-sauce-pan   Whether you're preparing a delicate Bearnaise or a meaty marinara, Calphalon One Infused Anodized Sauce Pans are designed for maximum performance. heavy-gauge aluminum construction guarantees even, efficient heating.

Cooking Oils and Sprays A small amount of oil, butter, or margarine is all you need for easy food release when you follow these basic steps: •  Take foods out of the refrigerator and allow them to rest on the counter about 10 minutes before cooking. Placing chilled food in a heated pan causes sticking, even in stick-resistant pans. •  Preheat the Calphalon One Infused Anodized Sauce Pan and oil properly (see Stove-Top Use). •  Use the proper temperature to cook (see Heat Settings). Utensils Feel free to use any utensils on Calphalon One Infused Anodized, including metal, wood and nylon.

Heat cooking oils When searing our sautéing, a small amount of butter or oil is all you need. Your recipe may call for more; if so, we recommend you follow the recipe. Allow the oil to heat for a minute before adding food to the pan. Do not use aerosol cooking sprays with Calphalon One Infused Anodized. These sprays contain a chemical propellant that is difficult to remove from cookware. To keep cooking oil to a minimum, try using a mister filled with your favorite olive oil. Alternatively, dab a bit of oil on a paper towel and carefully wipe the bottom of the pan. PLEASE REMEMBER Shorter handles, higher cooking temperatures and longer cooking times can cause handles to get hot, especially Infused Anodized products. Cool V long handles on Calphalon One Infused Anodized dramatically reduce heat conduction along the handle allowing for more comfortable cooking.

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. Recommended Cleaners • Bar Keeper's Friend Recommended Cleaning Pad • Scotch-Brite 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 Friendâ. 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.

Utensils You may use metal whisks, spoons, spatulas and other non-sharp metal utensils. They will not harm the stainless steel surface. HOWEVER, do not use sharp instruments or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, or whip foods in any pan. Such use can scratch the pan, especially when it's heated.

TIP DO NOT use aerosol cooking sprays in any Calphalon cookware. Sprays leave a gummy residue that is difficult to remove completely. This residue causes food to stick, even in nonstick cookware.   Utensils You may use metal whisks, spoons, spatulas and other non-sharp metal utensils. They will not harm the stainless steel surface. HOWEVER, do not use sharp instruments or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, or whip foods in any pan. Such use can scratch the pan, especially when it's heated. (All metals become softer when heated.)   Stove-Top Use Preheating When sautéing, stir-frying or frying, always preheat the pan at the temperature setting you'll use to cook. Preheating provides maximum control for the cooking process. The pan is properly preheated when the rim is hot-to-the-touch. Do not preheat on high to heat the pan faster. For cooking techniques such as sautéing, stir frying, or preparing an omelettes, preheat at medium to medium-high. This will make sure your food begins cooking properly as soon as you place it in the pan.   TIP: The Butter Test Heat the pan over medium to medium-high heat. When the rim of the pan is hot-to-the-touch, rub a teaspoon of butter over the inside of the pan. When the butter begins to bubble briskly (it should not brown), it's ready for the ingredients. If the butter begins to burn and turn brown, the heat setting is too high. Carefully wipe the burned butter out of the pan with a paper towel, lower the heat and begin again. You can do the butter test even if you don't want to use it as a cooking medium, simply wipe it out with a paper towel and use the medium of your choice, or none at all. Heat cooking oils Whether you are using a hard-anodized, stainless, copper or nonstick pan, it is important to heat the butter or oil to the right temperature. Add oil or butter and allow to heat a minute before adding food. Preheating brings the pan and oil or butter to the right temperature so the food surface sears immediately. It also keeps foods from sticking in hard-anodized pans. Fats and oils work in various temperature ranges. Use the type of oil or fat called for in the recipe. PLEASE REMEMBER The exclusive Calphalon Cool VTM long handle design keeps handles cool to the touch during stovetop cooking. Oven & Broiler Use Stainless steel pans can be used in the oven and under the broiler. Tempered glass covers are oven safe to 450°F.   PLEASE REMEMBER Handles will become very hot in the oven or broiler. Always use a potholder or mitt to prevent burns when removing pans from the oven. Cleaning Hand-washing stainless steel surfaces with hot sudsy water and a Dobie Pad is recommended. However, stainless steel is dishwasher safe. See below for other recommended cleansers. Recommended Cleaners •  Dish liquids intended for hand-washing such as Dawn or Joy. (Do NOT use dish detergents made for use in the dishwasher when hand-washing.) •   RADIANCE from Calphalon •   Penny Brite, Bon Ami, Barkeeper's Friend Recommended Cleaning Pad •   Dobie pad   DO NOT USE Abrasive cleansers or cleaning pads, oven cleaners or other caustic cleaning solutions, baking soda, automatic dishwasher detergent, liquid bleach, liquid household cleaners used for floors, porcelain, etc. Always allow your pan to cool before washing. Submerging a hot pan in water can cause irreparable warping.   TIP If eggs and other foods begin sticking, even after following preheating and butter test instructions, it's a sure sign that grease and food residue have built up on the cooking surface. Clean thoroughly, referring to the recommended cleansers.   Lifetime Warranty Calphalon Contemporary Stainless and Tri-Ply Stainless cookware is covered by our Lifetime Warranty and Simply Calphalon Stainless is covered by our 10-Year 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.

Contemporary Nonstick long handles stay cool on the stovetop for hours of comfortable cooking. Sparkling glass-and-stainless covers give you a clear view of simmering soups and sauces, too.               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. Cooking With Calphalon Nonstick Cookware 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 also important to use the right heat setting for the cooking method you're using (not too high or too low). Experiment to find the right heat settings on your stove. No two stoves work alike. Determine where the settings work best for your stove. You may want to write them down for future reference In general, we recommend: •  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. Cooking Oils and Sprays With nonstick cookware, the cooking surface doesn't determine the amount of fats you use to cook. You can use very little or no added oils at all. Or you can use as much butter or oil as you like. You decide --that's the beauty of nonstick. So, use oils or fats for added crispness, color, or flavor, if you like. For a golden color and crisp texture with hash browns, pancakes, and sautéed meats, apply a thin coating of butter or margarine. You may also wipe a thin film of canola, olive or other oil over the cooking surface. Utensils Use only plastic, coated, or wood utensils to protect your pan's nonstick finish. Calphalon offers a complete line of nylon cooking utensils developed especially for use with nonstick cookware TIP DO NOT use metal utensils, sharp instruments or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, release or whip foods in any nonstick pan.

It also keeps foods from sticking in hard-anodized pans. Fats and oils work in various temperature ranges. Use the type of oil or fat called for in the recipe. PLEASE REMEMBER Shorter handles, higher cooking temperatures and longer cooking times can cause handles to get hot, especially Hard-Anodized products. Cool V long handles on Infused Anodized and Commercial Hard Anodized dramatically reduce heat conduction along the handle allowing for more comfortable cooking. Oven & Broiler Use Nonstick pans are oven safe to 450°F. Nonstick pans are not approved for broiler use, which will damage the nonstick surface of the pan. PLEASE REMEMBER Handles will become very hot in the oven or broiler. Always use a potholder or mitt to prevent burns when removing pans from the oven. Cleaning Nonstick surfaces Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth. Please note, pans with a stainless exterior and nonstick interior can go into the dishwasher. However, hand washing is recommended. Hand wash your cookware thoroughly inside and out after every use. Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth. After sautéing or frying, we recommend cleaning nonstick pans with a Dobie pad and a recommended nonabrasive cleaner (see below) to remove any food residue. Recommended Cleaners •   Dish liquids intended for hand-washing such as Dawn or Joy.

Tri-Ply Stainless combines the beauty of stainless steel with the superior performance of aluminum. Interior and exterior layers of surgical-quality stainless steel surround an inner core of highly-conductive, heavy-gauge aluminum. The aluminum core is not only on the bottom of the pan, but continues up the sides of the pan to spread heat evenly and respond to temperature changes quickly. The softly brushed, stainless interior provides clear visual clues when cooking and naturally masks signs of wear. And the mirror-polished exterior provides the brilliant look stainless lovers admire. Our ergonomic Cool V handle design provides superior balance and feel, and vents heat away from long handles, keeping them touchably cool on the stove-top. Domed, tempered glass covers let you monitor cooking at a glance, and they recirculate moisture and nutrients back into food. Before You Cook •  Wash your new pan and cover in hot, sudsy water.
