Established in 1963, Calphalon was the first company to apply the hard-anodizing technique to cookware, a chemical process that makes a metal like aluminum more durable and resistant to corrosion and other deterioration. Today, Calphalon's many product lines include Calphalon Contemporary (Stainless or Nonstick), Calphalon One Infused Anodized, Calphalon Unison, Simply Calphalon (Enamel, Stainless or Nonstick), Calphalon CS Nonstick, Everyday Nonstick and Calphalon Enamel Cast Iron.

Within these lines is a wide variety of shapes and sizes both in standard cookware shapes and specialty pieces.
