5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Wanted
This is a great set of pots and pans. Not only did I get this set, but I also purchased about 5 more pans, and love them all. I was comparing this set to the Calphalon Contemorary. I went to various department stores to talk to sales people that work with both companies, and they all preferred Analon Advanced. These pans are truly nonstick inside and out. The only...

2.0 out of 5 stars No Saute Pan in this set
I purchased this product, because I already had the skillet set and liked them so I wanted the set, but the set has 2 skillets instead of one skillet and one saute pan in it, I returned it and recieved the same one when I reordered it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Wanted, June 21, 2004
By stacy bye (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
This is a great set of pots and pans. Not only did I get this set, but I also purchased about 5 more pans, and love them all. I was comparing this set to the Calphalon Contemorary. I went to various department stores to talk to sales people that work with both companies, and they all preferred Analon Advanced. These pans are truly nonstick inside and out. The only place where food gets stuck is on the bolt(s) inside the pan that hold the handle(s) on. The handles on both the lids and the pans never get hot. I have even put them in the oven, and they work perfectly. The only thing that has happened is the bottom of the pan where the flame hits it has slightly discolored. However, I keep my pans in the cabinets so it's not an issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOLON COOKWEAR & AMAZON.COM, February 7, 2006
By Oscar L. Carey (Madisonville, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I have used several brands of cookwear over the years looking for what I felt was the easiest to use and care for. I have had Calphalon, Emrilwear by Allclad and on down the line. The quality of this cookwear is by far the most superior cookwear I have ever used before. It heats evenly and clean up is a snap.
I was also very impressed with Amazon as they told me to expect shipment on the 14th of February and I recieved my new pan 2 days after I ordered it.
Thanks Amazon for the great service!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste time buying anything else but this Analon Advanced, June 8, 2007
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I have waited about one year before writing this review to observe the performance of this cookware over time and.... I loved it the first time I used it.... and I still love it today ! This cookware is heavy duty and is a joy to use and clean. I love the nonstick both on the interior and the exterior, after 11 months of use, they look just like they did when I took them out of the box. This would be an excellent choice for the novice or the professional cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love my new cookware, August 23, 2006

This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I've cooked with all kinds of cookware in my 60+ life and by far this is the BEST I've ever used. I love the clean up factor and the sturdiness of the product. It's like our "grandmas" cast iron skillets - only better. However, and I still rate this with 5 stars, IF you have arthritis or any hand condition which effects your ability to lift heavy items this is not for you. But for all those younger cooks just starting out - don't bother with anything else. And for those of us that have cooked for years - you'll love this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic pans, January 6, 2008
By M. Castellino (Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
After quite some research and deliberation I decided upon these pans, mainly because hard anodised is the bext type of non-stick coating at the moment, and also because of the Anolon name. The pans are great. Good, solid construction, and heavy bases. They cook well.

One thing to note is that as with all non-stick you must use plastic or wooden utensils in here.

The one negative is that the pictures on the Amazon website shows the saute pan with this set. However, when I received it I noticed that it came with two frying pans. Looking back at the item description it does indeed say it comes with 8 inch and 10 inch french skillets (frying pans). So, the text (and contents) and photos do not match. Amazon should rectify this!

This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
These are the best pots I've ever had. I think the first two months I had them, I said, "I love my pots" nearly everyday while cooking. I love the nonstick interior AND exterior --- it makes for such easy cleaning. It makes me wish I had one of those ceiling racks to hang/display my pots. It is SO easy to cook with them. I tend to burn things when I cook, but it takes real effort to burn anything in these pots. They're heavy (but not TOO heavy) and conduct heat very evenly. I always handwash them (I used to hate washing pots, but now I actually ENJOY washing these!) and never use metal utensils, so they still look brand new (except for the inside handle-rivet-things, see below). In buying this set, I did have to buy some other pieces to be functional. I especially love the "Ultimate Pan," the 3.5 qt. pot with strainer lid, the 4.5 qt.tapered saucepot, and the griddle.

I've had these pots for 6 months now, and I have only 2 complaints: the insides of the pots/skillets have 2 stainless steel "buttons" which hold the handles on. They're not non-stick, and so things can get burned onto them. The other problem is that the outside rim of the lids, where the glass meets the metal, is showing rust. I don't know if it's because I live close to the beach and everything rusts around here, or if water is getting in there and not drying quickly enough. But I can live with that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookware but mislabeled by Amazon!!, May 15, 2008
By D. Adams (Georgetown, KY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
Let me first say that Analon seems to be fantastic cookware. I bought this 8 piece set for my wife a few weeks ago and I can't complain about the cookware itself so 5 stars for that. However, that being said, the contents of this set are mislabeled and have been for almost 2 years according to other reviews. Below is what is listed as the contents:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This 8-piece set outfits a kitchen with essential pots and pans. It consists of 1-quart and 2-quart saucepans with lids; a 10-inch, 3-quart sauté pan; an 8-quart stockpot with a lid; and an 8-inch skillet. This cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

What's in the Box
1-quart saucepan with lid; 2-quart saucepan with lid; 10-inch, 3-quart sauté pan; 8-quart stockpot with lid; 8-inch skillet
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You WILL NOT get the 3-quart saute pan. In its place you will receive a 10-inch open skillet. A rather serious downgrade but the set is still well worth the money. Just know what you are actually getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Pans - But read this first, October 31, 2006

These pans are great! That said, this set does not come with everything seen here. The set that shipped did not have the 5-quart saute, but a 10" open skillet in it's place. So, if you're looking for that pan in a set, as I was, consider an upgrade or buy it seperately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anolon is wonderful, October 24, 2003
This review is from: Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 8-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I love this product. I have been buying lower grade pans for quite some time and the get worn and wind up in the garbage. These pans will last a lifetime. They are wonderful!

I hope you love them as much as I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars cookware, September 15, 2007

Just what I wanted. I like the sturdyness without the weight. I love the glass tops. The handles are nicer than the Analon Professional which I have used for several years and also like a lot.
