Select by Calphalon Nonstick with AquaShield 2.5qt Sauce Pan with Lid

A: Thank you for reaching out to learn more about our Select by Calphalon Nonstick products, and specifically about the difference between AquaShield and MineralShield technologies. The Select by Calphalon Nonstick with AquaShield line features a water-based, PFOA-free nonstick coating. The AquaShield technology is designed to provide superior nonstick performance with excellent food release qualities. It's also touted to be durable and resistant to scratching and staining, making clean-up easier. On the other hand, MineralShield technology refers to a type of nonstick coating that is typically infused with minerals to enhance its durability and resistance to wear and tear. While a MineralShield coating are generally meant to offer a hard, abrasion-resistant surface. In terms of which is better, it would depend on your specific needs: For Health and Eco-Friendly Concerns: AquaShield might be preferable if you're looking for a water-based, PFOA-free option. For Durability and Wear Resistance: MineralShield could be the better choice if your primary concern is the longest-lasting nonstick surface.
