Customer Review: Calphalon One: My Favorite Cookware
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used many different high-end brands of cookware, including AllClad, Paderno, and Sitram and find that Calphalon One is the best. The pans are flat, heat evenly and are easy to clean.
I wouldn't call them non-stick, though. Stick-resistant would be more descriptive. I find that if you heat the pan, add a tablespoon of oil or butter and then wipe the oil all over the pan -- including the sides -- so that the entire surface is coated with oil but there is so little oil in it that you can invert the pan without any oil dripping out, you have a surface that is virtually non-stick. I have cooked pancakes without additional oil or butter using this method.
Calphalon One provides many of the virtues of non-stick without the drawbacks (e.g. you can cook on extremely high heat, you get carmelized juices on the bottom of the pan for making sauces, unlike non-stick pans) and you get better heat transfer than non-stick.
The only other drawback is that these pans are very expensive and they will pit. Pitting however does not affect the performance of the pan, though.
This is a great pan by a manufacturer that stands behind their products. I had one old Calphalon pan replaced free of charge, so I can attest to their lifetime guarantee.
