Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 11-Piece Cookware Set
Great product/ Great price, (What's this?) Very pleased with the quality and style of these pieces. Haven't had the opportunity to use them much but the ones that I have used are impressive. I'll upgrade this review after I have had time to work more with them...
An Amazing Set of Cookware!,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) These are heavy non-stick pots and pans that are so easy to use and clean they are really worth the price! They are nicely designed to hold and use (as well as clean). On the largest pan, however, the balance is a little off, so you will tend to want to grab the handle just foward of the padding, so keep oven mitts handy for that one.
You also don't need to use any oil to cook, but you can add olive oil for flavor. However, if you are cooking something that requires oil, these are not the pans for you, since you cannot use regular cooking oils with them.
Unlike cheaper non-stick cookware, this one is a solid non-stick material, so when eggs run over the outside of the pan, they still clean off the outside just as easily as the inside. They have glass lids so you can see the food. The frying pans are extra deep, so there is far less grease splatter to clean up afterwards. The large frying pan has two handles so you can work with it easily even when full. This is a great set for a family on the go, to make lots of food for different dishes. It cooks everything we need it to, and then it cleans up easliy.
Attractive and efficient cookware set,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This 11-piece cookware set seems just about perfect for my family of three. It's attractive, practical, and seemingly durable after a few weeks of near-daily use. We typically use our stove for pasta and chicken dishes, and the medium-sized skillet was more than enough. It's easy for both my wife and I to handle, not terribly heavy, and yet it feels substantial with a comfortable handle. As other reviewers have pointed out, the advertised nonstick surface really seems to work well. I have not yet tried to cook eggs, but after reviewing some of the comments here, I think I might give it a try. However, in terms of simple pasta, veggie, and chicken dishes, I have had no problems and have absolutely no complaints in that regard.
My wife and I received a set of Simply Calphalon cookware when we got married ten years ago. We were very satisfied with it, and it somehow managed to last as we moved from apartment to house and our family grew from two to three.
Heavy duty, superb non-stick, good price,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) 18 five star reviews and that's it? Well, it's no hype. This stuff is the real deal: thick, solid, heats fast and even and cooks perfectly. The non-stick is the best out there, never scratches even with metal forks and knives, which means it won't come off and into your body like most Teflon junk.
Value in durability,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This Analon non-stick cooking set features impressively well-made kitchenware for an affordable price.
I've been using this set for about a month now and would start by arguing this isn't a set for everyone. If you're a beginner cook, or a bachelor that rarely uses more than one pot or pan, then I'd still advise you to purchase a useable non-stick set in the $100 range. However, if you're looking to graduate from your first set of pots and pans to a "real" cookware set, I would highly suggest you consider this Analon collection.
The individual pots and pans from this set all have a great heft to them. These aren't items from the cheap $100 sets. The metal has a somewhat smooth finish on the outside, but an unfinished, yet highly polished underside. The inside bottoms all have a unique non-stick coating that has a very fine texture. The non-stick coatings have worked like a charm so far, with the only exception being that it took some time to wash the edges of a skillet after some sauce had reduced down to a sticky film. Not unusual. They claim that you can use metal utensils on these surfaces and they will maintain their durability. I only spot-tested this with a metal spoon on occasion and did not actually try to assault my set with a metal fork. From what I can tell, it seems like one can indeed use metal on the inner surfaces, but I wouldn't risk regular metal use it if you can avoid it.
The handles are outstanding. They all have a rubberized grip that is very comfortable to hold.
OMG what a great price,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The Cookware is excellent. The non-stick surface is a dream. I've seen these at retail going for over $100 above Amazon's price. I'm even more impressed that it was made available to members of the vine program. The holidays came early at our house.
A number of design flaws, but still ok, (What's this?) Sorry to rain on the 'We Love Analon' parade, but there are a number of design flaws in this offering that folks should be aware of.
High-quality cookware set, friendly to your hands,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Since I work only part-time and have very limited income, I cook all the time, rarely going out for meals. This Anolon 11-piece set is perfect for a typical family, from making pasta and sauces to sauteeing to frying. The nonstick surface appears to be of high-quality and scratch-resistent -- still, remember *NOT* to use metal or hard-plastic utensils on the nonstick surface.
Sizzling Deal,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Good value for this 11 piece Anolon set (works out to good price per pan cost). I already own some Anolon pans before I got this set. Pans have very good build quality and my old ones have held up well over time. The pans in this set look nice and come with quality glass lids as well. The non-stick coating works well for me, better than some other "non-stick" I have tried in the past. Due to coating be sure to handwash (no dishwasher) and avoid high heat.
Overall I give this set 5 stars for price/value, happy cooking.
Nice cookware but could be better,
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This is nice cookware. Its nonstick is real good and looks like it will last a long time if plastic utencils are used and it is washed by hand. Where it falls short is the handles are not all metal (except the stock pot) so using it in the oven is not applicable. As someone who likes to cook, there are occasions that I like to put items in the oven to finish them off. Yeah, I know, anyone who likes to cook shouldn't be using nonstick. But it is so much easier to clean this way. It feels real heavy duty without being overly heavy so it conducts heat nicely. Overall, I like this cookware.
