Amazon.com Review
Handsomely designed with contemporary straight sides, deep charcoal gray exteriors, and shiny stainless trim, Anolon Advanced cookware has another reason it's so sought-after: it cooks beautifully. Constructed of hard-anodized aluminum that's even more durable than stainless steel, the cookware retains and distributes heat efficiently with no hotspots. The cookware is also coated inside and out with DuPont's high-quality, three-layer Autograph nonstick finish to keep food from sticking and scorching. Moreover, Anolon gives the cookware 18/10 stainless-steel handles with cushy silicone rubber grips for a cool, secure grasp. Break-resistant glass lids let you monitor cooking progress without losing flavor or nutrients. All the lids and knobs are oven-safe up to 400 degrees F, so you can start a dish on the stovetop, and finish it in the oven.

Everything a home chef needs to handle everyday cooking requirements is included in this 12-piece Anolon Advanced set. With their glass lids, the saucepans in 2-, 3-, and 4-quart sizes always come in handy for whisking sauces, heating soups, cooking rice, boiling potatoes, and plenty more. Two skillets, 8-and 10-inch, turn out perfect crepes, pancakes, and eggs. The large 10-quart stockpot slowly simmers chili and stew or boils a big batch of pasta. Finally, the 12-inch-wide, 5-quart shallow sauté pan with its helper handle tackles stir-fries, chicken and rice dishes, and deep-dish apple turnovers with aplomb. Thanks to the nonstick finish, the cookware easily washes clean by hand. Anolon covers the set with a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

5 out of 5 stars Very happy with purchase!   May 17, 2008

After searching the internet and reading tons of reviews, I finally decided to splurge on the Anolon Advance 12 pcs set. Up until this purchase I have gone through 3 or more very cheap cooking sets and was ready for something of quality and endurance.
I have had this set now for 7 months and love it! I have not had any problems with the coating scratching off...though I am careful not use metal utensils when cooking with them. They clean up very well and easy by hand and I have had no problems with anything sticking.
I liked the set so well after just one months use that I put down the griddle pan and the grill pan on my Christmas wish list! My husband got them for me and I use them often! The very large lid that fits the deep frying pan can be used to cover the grill and mostly cover the square griddle! I also use the lids on the pots to cover my frying pans when needed.
The only thing I had to get used to was the heaviness of the pans. They are somewhat heavy. Not nearly as bad as cast iron, but definately more so than my cheap pans. Fortunately, most of the larger pieces come with two handles. This makes it a lot easier to work with. Not really a complaint...it showes they are higher quality, just thought I would mention it.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone!! Just be sure to search the net for the best deal/price!

Heavy construction, very good non-stick coating (I hope it proves to be durable), fairly even heat distribution, the lids seal tight. A good choice for the home cooking enthusiast without the "loony tune" price.


5 out of 5 stars Must-have cookware   April 11, 2008
Clara (MI, USA)
We purchased this set a month ago and are totally impressed with it. It has replaced all the pots and pans we have had simply because after cooking in these, we just don't want to bother with the others.
I was a little apprehensive about the fact that since it is non-stick and you're not supposed to use high heat, I will have a problem with browning meat and such. But, I was wrong. This cookware does an excellent job of browning without having to resort to high heat and you don't have to constantly watch over it to prevent burning.
As others have said, you actually see a difference in your cooking - for the better.
It is completely worth the price and I will definitley be buying more Anolon cookware in the future.



5 out of 5 stars great cookware set, only which it were dishwasher-ready   April 2, 2008

I've been married many years and my wife constantly wants new cookware. (she does all the cooking)
Every time we buy some, copper-bottom, stainless steel, non-stick, etc....she finds something to complain about.

also we have a gas stovetop that heats in a ring at the outer edge of most pans, so things like chicken breasts and pork chops tend to burn with aluminum pans near the flame while remaining uncooked in the center of the pan.

so we got copper-clad stainless steel pans to solve that problem....then the stainless steel warped after a while and was a complete headache to clean up. Also the edges were very thin and the pans got dents in them, etc.

then we got another brand of aluminum anodized stainless stell cookware. it was on one of those "ridiculously great" cookware deals that you see all of the time. well the anodize suface started scraping off after about six months and the outside of the pans got a milky-white oxidation residue on them. also the pans were hardly nonstick for an anodized surface.

then we tried a teflon coated surface but we had concerns about toxicity (the fumes from a hot teflon pan have been demonstrated to kill pet birds). Also fried chicken breads just looks and taste really odd with a teflon nonstick pan. All white and smooth looking..... very weird.

pretty much everything sucked one way or another and almost none of it was as good at pots and pans were in the "old days"

However, I have to say that she *loves* this new analon cookware set. We wish we would have had the foresight to purchase the Anolon titanium series instead as it is dishwasher safe.
but these pans and pots are great. Nice and thick, the lids fit well even after banging them around. The chicken breaks and pork chops brown nicely....the cook very evenly, and they are actually nonstick.... pretty amazingly so for anodized aluminum.

I don't think you can go wrong with this set. Don't make the same mistakes I did and end up buying a half dozen other sets first.




The handles are comfy and easy to grip, and the larges ones have double handles for lifting heavy items. great stuff all around.

I have been using these pans for a few weeks now. I love the sizes of the pans offered in this set - no more having to split up large batches! Clean up is amazingly easy too!!
