There are many brands out there to choice from when buying nearly anything for the kitchen from cookware to electrical items. Here we look to review one brand; Calphalon and why this brand might be suitable for you.
Calphalon was born in 1963 as a metal spinning company in Perrysburg, Ohio by a man named as Ronald Kasperzak. His dream was to expand and upgrade the current limited range of aluminium cookware available across the food service industry. By 1968, he was taking technology from the aerospace industry, of all places, and created hard anodizing techniques to treat raw aluminium. Calphalon was born.
