Apple of my Eye - Star of my Kitchen,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch, 5-Quart Covered Saute Pan (Kitchen)
This pan was worth every cent. I like to cook in quantity and put up "planned overs" for later in the week, and in the last six years have been through a number of non-stick pans including Circulon (ugh - stay far away), Calphalon (OK for the first few months), and T-Fal (used to like but no longer).
I kept glancing at the 10" open French Anolon pan I'd bought at Amazon 10 years ago, which is still going strong. The old Anolon admittedly has some discoloration and "seasoning" at this point, but 10 years for a nonstick is nothing to snear at. So I went for this Big Baby. And love it! This is my go-to pan, even though it's labeled as a saute, I make everything from stews to pasta sauces to chili in it. It's great for stir-frying loads of veggies, and you can whip up healthy fried rice concoctions with leftover brown rice and freshly sliced veggies with an egg or two scrambled in. Speaking of eggs, for brunches I beat together some eggs and eggwhites, then saute whatever veggies are on hand to fill up the bottom of the pan, pour in the eggs, top with cheese and bake in a 325 F. oven for 20 minutes for the biggest, most delicious fritattas ever. This pan is so versatile I can cook pasta for two in it, drain the pasta, wipe it out, add olive oil and a little wine and saute greens and garlic, add back the pasta and some broth and voila, pasta prima vera in one pan. Chicken thighs brown well in it, then add barley and broth and some Morrocan seasonings ... OK I'll stop, you get the picture! It seems like everything I make in this pan comes out better. And this is my first glass lid cookware - how fun to see your meal cooking as the steamy little bubbles roll down the inside of the lid! Just be aware that quality cookware needs to be treated well - follow manufacturer's instructions - no dishwashers, let it come to heat over a medium setting, and clean it gently. The only con I'd issue is that the pan is heavy, but you get a lot of bang for this Kichen Hunk.

Professional Grade & Quality,
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch, 5-Quart Covered Saute Pan (Kitchen)
This is a great non stick pan that has a lot of great features like see thru glass cover, non-stick surface, non slip handles and is also oven safe to 400 degrees. This pan is very thick which is great for even cooking , the 12" diameter is great on our 12" radiant glass top stove. This pan is also the easiest to clean. ~MET

This is the cookware you've been waiting for!,

This review is from: Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch, 5-Quart Covered Saute Pan (Kitchen)
I bought this about 4 months ago and use it several times per week. Even though I cook a lot, I am not usually one to shell out over $100 on a single pan. This was totally worth it! This one is a keeper. Truly non-stick, easy to clean, larger size can accommodate a big meal! It is heavy, but this helps with even heating (and heat retention). Looks and feels very well-made, should provide one with a lifetime of culinary delights. We're getting to be good friends, this pan and I. Bon appetit!
UPDATE: Over 2 years later (May 2011) and the pan and I are like BFFs. Still cooking delightful meals, accommodating both small and surprisingly large portions, non-stick in-tact. I stand behind my previous review. Add this to your cookware arsenal and you will not be disappointed.
