Innovative Culinary Tools Are Our Signature
Julia Child let people in on the Cuisinart secret and so did James Beard. They were among the first culinary experts to hail the food processor as a revolutionary kitchen appliance when it was introduced to America in 1973 by the late Cuisinart founder, Carl Sontheimer. They saw the food processor as a quick and easy way to make fine food and healthy dishes.

Under management from Conair Corporation since 1989, the legacy is alive and well. Today, Cuisinart is a universally recognized name, endorsed by culinary connoisseurs such as Jacques Pépin.

• Flawless food release: Sushi rice, mozzarella cheese, caramel-even the stickiest foods lift easily from Calphalon One's exceptional nonstick surface. Delicate foods such as eggs and fish filets won't tear when you turn them, either.
• Enduring nonstick performance: Rigorous testing, simulating years and years of daily use, proves that Calphalon One Nonstick will perform like it's brand new for as long as you cook with it.
• Unmatched durability: Four interlocking nonstick layers are engineered for superior durability. Dings, divots, peeling and warping are not an issue with Calphalon One Nonstick.
• Effortless clean-up inside and out: The interior surface simply wipes clean with a dishcloth. The exterior features infused anodized technology-which releases cooked-on foods easily and resists staining.
