Amazon.com Review

With a depth of 2-1/2 inches and a capacity of 5 quarts, this heavy, durable, satin-finish pan cooks big meals. It's called a sauté pan because of its shape, but its versatility extends well beyond sautéing or frying. In the oven (to 350 degrees) or atop the stove and covered with its tight-fitting, domed glass lid, it functions as a casserole to stew or braise meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. Brown stewing beef, add vegetables for a quick sauté, pour in broth, add rice, cover, and simmer for a one-pan meal. Simmer pasta sauce with the lid off. Fry chicken in a bit of oil, cover, and place in the oven to finish. A loop handle opposite the main handle permits two-handed lifting. Handles and the lid's knob stay cool atop the stove. To preserve the interior, use only wood or plastic utensils. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Hard anodized and non-stick are two terms that will pique the interest of those who like to spend time cooking, but not cleaning up. Anolon offers both in a pan that will not only sautE any meat, seafood, poultry or vegetable but also allow you to simmer with the addition of the lid.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful addition to any kitchen, December 8, 2000

This pan has an excellent non-stick surface, good handles and very even heat distribution. The helper handle makes it easy to move or lift the pan while it's loaded. The glass lid is especially nice for monitoring simmered dishes. It's big enough to hold a dozen large sausages, pan fry seven chicken breasts, or make large batches of spaghetti sauce or any skillet recipe. I wish the knob on the lid was easier to grip with a pot holder or mitt, like the Anolon professional version, but I feel this pan is a better overall value for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is a "Must Add" To Your Cookware Set, October 25, 2001

When you have to fry a lot of things, like more than a dozen Asian potsticker hors d'oeuvres, this pan is perfect for the job. And with its first class Dupont Autograph lining, the potstickers won't stick! I was initially concerned about uneven frying since the pan's size was much larger than my stove's burner, but the anodized aluminum material conducts heat so evenly that my potstickers turned out perfectly! It has a number of great features, too, like a tight-fitting glass lid and a helper handle, which makes it easy to carry this heavy pan. If you've got room in your kitchen shelf, consider adding this to your cookware collection. It feels so solid and strong that it could probably survive a nuclear disaster, and its nonstick lining is the best that I've had in my kitchen. The only downside is its relatively large girth which makes it somewhat awkward to wash if you have a small sink.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did not last as expected !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, January 16, 2005

I have had this pan for 2-3 years. This is my most used pan, we use it almost every day. We have been very strict to use appropriate nonstick pan utensils. The pan just flat has worn out !! The nonstick surface never pealed like cheap pans, but the center area of the pan that gets the direct heat in the last month became increasing "sticky" and very difficult to clean. There are no scrathes, but the color has changed. Food also started burning at low temperatures. And heat is no longer distributing. I have a large set of anolon with a lot of add on's -- so I will stick with them for now -- but I will not buy anymore until i see if this happens again. Very disappointed !!!!!!!!!!
