Calphalon is the inventor of hard-anodized cookware, which revolutionized cooking at home in the 1960s. Calphalon puts the same precision, care, and passion into each pot and pan that Calphalon cooks experience in the kitchen. Like them, Calphalon believes in executing every detail with purpose, which is why they initiated a first-of-its-kind national recycling program for cooking tools. With this program, Calphalon enables cooks to recycle any brand of well-used cookware, bakeware and cutlery and help turn them into reusable materials.
