This Calphalon One Infused Anodized Nonstick 12" flat-bottom wok combines two technologies for unparalleled nonstick cooking, Calphalon's exclusive infused anodized technology with a nonstick cooking surface. Four interlocking nonstick layers on the interior coupled with hard-anodized aluminum construction give you efficiency and control over your cooking. The exterior surface of the pan is infused with an advanced release polymer. This polymer prevents food from sticking, resists staining, and is easier to clean than most other surfaces. This nonstick version includes a glass lid that fits snugly, is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, and allows you to monitor your food while cooking. The cookware won't stain, peel or react with acidic ingredients, and promotes uniform searing and browning. Durable enough for use with nylon and wooden utensils, Calphalon One Infused Anodized Nonstick cookware is safe for gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops and is oven-safe to 500 degrees F.

Cooks well, but not durable for the price:
I recently purchased a 13 piece set of Calphalon Stainless steel cookware, and it was BEAUTIFUL, very high quality, and purchased after much research and deliberation.
