Toledo, OH (PRWEB via PR Web Direct)
March 16, 2005 – A recent survey on home entertaining reveals that the kitchen
is now the social center of American homes, with 85 percent of consumers
reporting that party guests always or frequently end up in the kitchen. In
response to this powerful trend, consumers are focusing greater attention on the
details of kitchen style. Now, style-conscious home chefs with a penchant for
all things modern have a new line of cookware to accent their well-dressed
kitchens: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless.
Calphalon Contemporary Stainless is the first high-performance stainless
steel cookware to bring stunning, contemporary design into the home kitchen.
Crafted from lustrous, brushed stainless steel and featuring clean lines and
curvaceous silhouettes, Calphalon Contemporary Stainless expresses the very soul
of modern style. Sweepingly sexy, sculpted handles and subtly domed glass covers
lend additional panache to each piece.
“We created this collection for
people who are passionate about great design—people who get a thrill from having
beautiful things in the kitchen,” says Paul Angelo LoGiudice, Director of
Product Design for Calphalon. LoGiudice notes that the cookware’s sensuous
shapes and smooth reflective surfaces are the perfect complement to the steel,
glass and polished stone textures that dominate contemporary kitchen
design.
Along with sophisticated style, Calphalon Contemporary Stainless
offers the aspiring home chef sophisticated performance. The pans are designed
to enable cooking enthusiasts to emulate the professional chefs they admire.
Features of Calphalon Contemporary Stainless
•
Distinctive, Contemporary Design: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless makes a
striking statement on the stovetop, on the table and when displayed on pot
racks, open shelves or in glass-front cabinets.
•
Versatility: Vessel shapes are suitable for a wide variety of techniques and
recipes—and for serving in style, too.
• Performance:
Tri-ply construction (the choice of many professional chefs) offers great
cooking results on the stove, in the oven and in the broiler. A full aluminum
core, sandwiched between the stainless steel interior and exterior of each pan,
provides superb conductivity and even heating throughout the vessel.
• Convenience: Long handles stay cool and comfortable on
the stovetop and glass lids make it easy to keep an eye on what you’re cooking.
Calphalon Contemporary Stainless is also dishwasher-safe for easy
clean-up.
Calphalon Contemporary Stainless is available at Macy’s
department stores and other fine retailers nationwide. The cookware comes in 8-
and 10-piece sets and a wide selection of open stock pieces. Suggested retail
prices range from $39.99 for the 2-quart chef’s pan to $499 for the 10-piece
set. For more in-depth product information visit www.calphalon.com.
