	What is Calphalon One Infused 
Anodized ?


    
    

    If performance is paramount to you, then Calphalon One Infused Anodized is 
    the ideal cookware choice.

    

    The smooth metal surface of Calphalon One Infused Anodized delivers superior 
    results when searing and browning. Steaks, chops and chicken develop 
    beautiful caramelized texture on the outside while they stay moist and juicy 
    on the inside. Sautéed meats, poultry and vegetables build up rich, even 
    color and luscious flavor as they cook. And with Calphalon One Infused 
    Anodized cookware, you get lots of tasty bits for deglazing--the critical 
    ingredient for rich, delicious pan sauces. Also, no need to worry when 
    cooking fish, crýpes and other foods that tend to tear when you turn them; 
    the infused anodized surface of Calphalon One cookware gives you more 
    control, no matter what you&#039;re cooking- foods lift without tearing. 

    

    Designed for flexibility, Calphalon One cookware is built to withstand high 
    temperatures without warping. It&#039;s the one cookware you need for stovetop, 
    oven and broiler cooking. Triple riveted handles stay cool during stovetop 
    cooking, too.

     
    
     
  
  
    
    
    

    
    
     
  
  

  
    
    
  
  
    
    
    Before You Cook

    
      
• 
      Wash your 
      new Calphalon One Infused Anodized Flat Bottom Wok and cover in hot, sudsy 
      water. Rinse and dry. 
      
• 
      Do not 
      season your Calphalon One Infused Anodized Flat Bottom Wok before using it. 
      To enjoy optimum performance from your Calphalon cookware, keep it 
      scrupulously clean. Any kind of oily residue on your Calphalon One Infused Anodized 
      Flat Bottom Wok can cause foods to stick. 
    

       Cooking 
    With Infused Anodized Cookware


    
    Heat Settings

    Use a lower heat setting than you normally would. 
    Calphalon cookware heats and cools more quickly than other cookware because 
    it&#039;s made of heavy-gauge aluminum. It&#039;s also important to use the right heat 
    setting for the cooking method you&#039;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

    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 Flat Bottom Wok 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. Do not use sharp 
    instruments or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, or whip 
    foods in the pan.

     

    
    
    Stove-Top Use

    
    

    
    Preheating


    When sautéing, stir-frying or frying, always preheat the 
    Calphalon One 
    Infused Anodized Flat Bottom Wok at the temperature setting you&#039;ll use to cook. 
    Preheating provides maximum control for the cooking process. The 
    Calphalon One Infused Anodized 
    Fry Pan is properly 
    preheated when the rim is hot-to-the-touch.


    
    Do not preheat on high 
    to heat the Calphalon One Infused Anodized Flat Bottom Wok 
    faster. For cooking techniques such as sautéing, stir frying, or 
    preparing an omelette, 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&#039;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&#039;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

    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.


    
    Oven &amp; Broiler Use

    Infused anodized pans can be used in the oven and under the broiler.


    
     

    
    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

    
    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 &quot;like new&quot; condition, wash with a green Scotch Brite 
    pad and Bar Keeper&#039;s Friend. Pay special attention to rinsing 
    when you use 
    
    Bar Keeper&#039;s Friend; 
    without careful rinsing, the cleaner may occasionally leave a powdery soap 
    film.

     

    
    
    

    Recommended Cleaners

    •   Bar Keeper&#039;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&#039;s Friendâ.

    

    Because Calphalon One is hand-crafted cookware, you 
    may notice subtle variations in the pans&#039; finish. These &quot;character lines&quot; 
    are perfectly normal -a natural result of the manufacturing process.


    
     

    
    TIP

    
    If eggs and other foods 
    begin sticking, even after following preheating and butter test 
    instructions, it&#039;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 One 
    Infused Anodized cookware is covered by our 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.

    exceptional durability and easy clean-up, it&#039;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&#039;s made 
    of heavy-gauge aluminum. It&#039;s also important to use the right heat setting 
    for the cooking method you&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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 &amp; 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&#039;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.
