I ordered and am now returning this set if utensils. My wife has a set of Analon Professional cookware, so I thought these would be a nice accessory. When the box arrived, it says FREE with any purchase of Analon over $150, so it looks really cheesy as a gift. The tools themselves look to be low quality and are rather small. After receiving this set, I did a more thorough search for Ananlon utensils and found their "Sure Grip" line at Linens N Things. They are $10 per piece, so about double the price, but at least triple the quality. I think she'll love the new ones!

#1 This is supposed to be free with $150 purchase

#2 I went to Walmart, bought Farberware (also made by Meyer ... like Analon) ... the nicer utinsels were $2.82 each and NICE and the ok (not as nice but still quality) were about $1.80 each.

I've seen Calphalon, Analon, KitchenAid, etc. ... don't waste your time or money ... go see for yourself and buy Farberware (they also had some decent, like for extra's, utinsels for $.50 each to expand you selection of tools).

And I have Anolon Professional Cookware Set, and a variety of other Calphalon, and other high quality cookware.

i was really shocked to get my utensils. couldn't believe these were intended as a free promotional gift and i paid $30.00 for them. wished i read the other reviews i never would have ordered them. now i have to take the time and send them back, i'm not happy at all.

How lame for Amazon.com to sell a free gift that one would get if you bought a set of Anolon cookware. I was so excited to get these utensils to give as a gift to my mother in law, but when I recieved it, the box had, in HUGE LETTERS, the following: "OUR GIFT TO YOU with a purchase of $150 or more in Anolong Classic or Anolon Professional cookware". I think it is a cheap shot for Amazon to sell this. I feel like I just was at a swap meet! I wonder if it is illegal to sell something that wasn't intended for individual sale? I paid 9.99 for these and if I had paid one penny more, I would have filed a complaint with somebody involved with Amazon and interstate commerce! The utensils are flimsy at best and I am embarrassed to give them to my mother in law!

I recieved this set as a gift and I seriously doubt that the gift giver paid the thirty dollars amazon is asking. If they did, I would be quite ashamed of them. Not only are the utensils made of poor quality, inexpensive materials; there seem to be some pretty major design flaws as well. While the turner and pasta thingy are fine, I still haven't figured out what they were thinking when they made this ladle. It is bulky and has a tremendous surface area, thus making it more difficult to clean, yet it does not appear to have a proportional capacity. That is to say: it's bad at ladeling. The whisk is just ridiculous. I am not sure what it is that the designer forsaw one whisking with this particular object, but it clearly wasn't anything with actual substance as the whisk tends to bend and come apart when asked to so much as scramble an egg. I am not typically one to bemoan the quality of something I didn't even pay for, but I would encourage you to give the matter serious thought before you open your wallet for this crummy crummy gift.
