Calphalon pans do indeed expand when heated. The aluminum ones expand the most. Copper expands about 2/3rds of what aluminum does, and cast iron about half. Pyrex expands about a third of what aluminum does. (The coefficients of thermal expansion for various materials could be posted, but they really don't serve any useful purpose here.) The folks at Calphalon and other cookware manufacturers have done some things during the manufacturing process to relieve the metals so that they don't warp and lose their shape. Some metal pans have developed a "bulge" in the bottom. This inward or (more annoying) outward curve may result from misuse or because the manufacturer wasn't as careful making the piece. Reading the directions will help those who use the pieces avoid these difficulties. When the burner goes on, the cook enters into a contract with the piece of cookware. They've become a team. They work together at all times until the cooking is finished. Does a tennis doubles player walk off the court in the middle of a point? The good cook knows where to be, and will be there.
