Infused Anodization is a process by which Calphalon places polymers of nonstick between the pores of the cooking, and exterior surface. The result being a semi-nonstick surface which has amazing heat resistance, and is also resistant to scratch. Yes, Calphalon is considered non-reactive because it is made of anodized aluminum, which is a process that treats the aluminum and makes it non-reactive to acids, etc. 6 people found this useful.
