Swot Analysis Of Calphalon
Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 8-1/2-Quart Saucier with Lid
You just might find yourself using this versatile piece of cookware more than any other in your kitchen. Reducing sauces, braising meats, boiling pasta, browning chicken: this pot can do it all, on the stovetop or in the oven. This saucier has straight sides and a wide profile, and two sturdy double-riveted handles make it safer and easier to lift when full.

(B) It does stick significantly less than bare metal pans such as Stainless Steal. (C) The silver 'scratches' you see sometimes are generally not scratches at all. Aluminum Oxide can hold color. You know those colored Aluminum keys, or clips you see? That is done by Anodizing the metal, as you know bare Aluminum cannot hold color. I recently bought a 12 inch Calphalon Stir Fry pan on Ebay, and it had some of these silver 'scratches'. They were not scratches at all, I scrubed them off in the normal fashion, and now they are gone, they were just color, the pan was not scratched. It is pretty hard to scratch these pans I think, 25 microns is not a lot, however is is sufficient to make the pan real hard to
