Calphalon Pots

Posted by admin on Aug-26-2008

When I was first looking at getting a set of Calphalon Pots, I didn’t know where to start. This was because I was being bombarded with a range of names such as Calphalon One, Simply Calphalon, Calphalon Tri-ply etc, etc…

I also noticed Calphalon Pots came in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, cast iron and copper. In addition, some of these Calphalon Pots were coated with non-stick coating.

I was finding it difficult to categorize all these combinations of Calphalon Pots. I simply wanted a “birds-eye” view of the whole range so that I can hone in on the one I want.

That shouldn’t be difficult…. So I thought!

I jumped online and just couldn’t find a basic, simple one page summary of the Calphalon Cookware range. Hence, I decided to put one together. So here it goes……

Calphalon Pots and Cookware Summary

I hope this helps to put the “Calphalon Cookware” jigsaw together so that you can see where all the Calphalon Pots fit in.

I personally prefer the “Simply Calphalon Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set” because it has the most practical combination of pots. I prefer stainless steel pots because their durable and maintenance free and I am used to using non-stick frying pans because their easy to clean and take less oil in cooking.

I think this is a must have for someone starting their new home or for someone who wants to enhance their cooking experience with a higher quality pots.

Calphalon Copper Cookware Cleaner

Posted by admin on Dec-8-2008

Copper cookware is popular because it is an excellent conductor of heat. Hence the popularity of the Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware.

Ironically, it is the high heat that also causes the copper to discolor. After a period of use it will develop a dark organish, purple or bluish look to it. When the Calphalon Tri-Ply Copper cookware changes color - and it will - do not worry as its performance is not compromised. While some people like this orangish-bluish look, I prefer to maintain the “brand new” look. One way to bring back the shine is to make a flour paste with salt and vinegar. Just add enough vinegar to the flour to form a paste. Then add enough salt so that it almost dissolves but does not remain grainy. If its too grainy, you risk scratching the copper. If you are like me, I like to keep my life simple. With two kids I don’t have time to make paste and potions. I prefer the commercial copper paste cleaners. Its cheap, quick, easy and simple to use. For under $10 you can pick up some good quality copper cleaners. I prefer the Calphalon Radiance Cleaner. Its great on the copper (and seems to work equally well on stainless steel).

p.s Copper cookware is not recommended for use in dishwashers. Dishwasher detergents discolor the copper and it is almost impossible to restore the copper cookware to its original condition.
