Review of Calphalon One Infused Anodized 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid

The previous reviewer is totally wrong. This is the best invention in cookware yet. I am a professional chef.These are too expensive to use in a professional kitchen, but perfect for home use. They are REALLY non-stick and stick pans. Their design is to give you the searing/browning/carmelization needed and wanted to give you the best tasting meats and vegetables. The "stuck-on Fond or bits" on the bottom of the pan as then used to make your sauce for the food you just cooked in the pan.

If you try to remove or move the food to soon, yes it will stick and will rip or tear your food item. Also the pan must be hot enough. and if you add very cold food to a hot pan, and try to move it to soon, it will stick and rip.

Plain non-stick pans WILL NOT give you the browning effect you are looking for when cooking meats, chickens, fish, and vegetables.

Trust me, the other reviewer must not know to use these pans properly. Clean up is a snap.

I have almost the complete set of Calphalon One pans at home and I DO NOT WORK for the company.

Expensive, YES, worth every penny, YES. You get what you pay for. Taken care of these pans will last for many many many years.
Buy cheap pans, and you will be throwing them out, a waste of money.

It's low sides are ideal for browning foods, though with the use of the cover you can also simmer or poach as the recipe dictates.
