Tr-Ply Rusted after one use?!?!...RUST?!??...unbelievable. - Reviewed on 2008-07-17

This has to be the strangest review you'll ever read regarding a tri-ply stainless steel pan, but yes, after using this pan ONE TIME, it started to rust.
I purchased the pan here, from Amazon, received it 2 days ago. Used it the first night and had some chicken fond stuck to the bottom of it. I put about a 1/2" of water in it to soak overnight. The next morning I noticed a very slight brown coloration in one of the rings on the interior wall of the pan. I thought it was just a scrape from a utensil, but in the back of my mind, it seemed like rust starting, which should be impossible for this pan. This pan is built with stainless steel surrounding aluminum, both of which, do not rust.
So, to be sure, I cleaned the pan completely, and put 3/4" of tap water in it to see what would happen, and left it overnight.
Well, the next day I awoke to a 6" rust line around the inside of the pan, and it looks like if I left it longer, it would have encompassed the whole inner diameter.
So, after thinking I was losing my mind, I called Calphalon. They said they've never heard of such a thing and they wanted it sent to them to run tests. I'm sending it to them as we speak and am VERY curious what the outcome might be.
My advice is if you've bought one of these tri-ply pans recently, do a water test overnight and see the outcome.
These should never rust, for any reason, it should be physically impossible.
These are manufactured in China. Obviously my pan is not made of what it says it is, or it would not rust. What I want to know is what ARE they made of? And is it even safe to cook with?
This is very troubling.
