Product Description

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

BEST COOKWARE EVER!!!
 
Review Date: July 19, 2006
Reviewer: J. Elliott,
I received this product after about 4 years of using Target's T-fal product. I immediately noticed a difference in my food, the way it cooked and tasted. The soft grip handles are a dream. It was definitely the best deal out there. I have used my dad's Calphalon before and this is far better. A definite must.
Anolon = Fabulous Cookware

I love Anolon! This set was purchased to replace my previous Anolon set...after 13 years of everyday use! The coating on my original pans started flaking this spring...so of course I bought Anolon. This time I added the 12" griddle pan. My little girl loves BIG pancakes and this pan is perfect.

The only negative aspect was that 2 weeks after I received them the price dropped by $100. Plus there was an additional $25 discount if you spent at least $150, which I did. After contacting Amazon I did get an immediate $100 refund, but I forgot to ask about the other $25. Oh well, at least I did get them for the lesser price. Just keep an eye!

By all means I would highly recommend Anolon to anyone looking for excellent, heavy duty, long wearing cookware. If you need new pots & pans buy a set of Anolon Advanced or Anolon Classic. Amazing!
Best cookware for chefs of any level!

Anolon Advanced cookware is excellent for all cooking needs - it is heavy so it sits on the stove top securely, the surface works very well as a non-stick surface, the glass lids allow you to see the food AND they have a rubberized handle that is easy to grip, and the handles of all the pots and pans do not get too hot and are comfortable to grip or carry. These pots and pans are sure to last longer than most other brands even for the aspiring or even professional chef!
Look no further!

This is an absolutely fantastic cookware set...love it, love it, love it!! I researched a long time before deciding on this set of cookware and boy, did I make the right decision! Food cooks quickly and evenly, and clean-up is a snap. I also love the glass lids so I can see the food as it's cooking. As the manufacturer recommends, I do not put this cookware in the dishwasher, but clean up is so fast and easy, I don't mind washing them by hand at all! Anolon cookware is highly recommended by Consumer Reports, too, which definitely was a factor in my decision. You can't go wrong with this set; it's a great product for the money. I even purchased an array of Anolon cooking utensils as well, and I love them equally as much! After years of inexpensive, mismatched, low quality cookware and utensils, it's wonderful having these great Anolon products in my kitchen!
Great Cookware Set! And, yes, 'stay cool' handles!
 
Review Date: November 26, 2006
Reviewer: B. Peloquin Jr.,
Wanted to find a good quality cookware set that not only cooked evenly with gas, but also had cool handles. Recently, we converted our stove over to gas and our old, non-stick set with metal handles was just not cut out for the job. The pans seemed very flimsy for the gas and seemed to be burning food. Plus, we kept grabbing the handles while they were hot! Even if the pot holders were right out on the counter in front of us, we still had the tendency to keep reaching for those handles.

Even though the Anolon Advanced cookware is not dishwasher safe, the clean-up really is a snap. Large pots and pans always take up quite a bit of room anyway in the dishwasher, so leaving them out hasn't really been a big deal for us.

We definitely researched and read up on the reviews before purchasing this set.

Really enjoy cooking with the Anolon Advanced.
Like the cookware so much that we ordered additional pieces.



Great cookware!

Reviewer: Mel, TX
I have been very pleased with this cookware. It does a great job cooking anything and everything, with or without oils or butters. The big ones are a little heavier, so it's tough to tilt and spoon out of it with one hand, but that would be the same on any large piece of cookware. I recommend it to anybody. I'm sure it will last me years to come!
5 stars for this price range.

Nice heavy duty pots and pans. The non stick is amazing both inside and out. It practically cleans itself! I was a little apprehensive about not being able to pop in the dishwasher, but it hasn't been a problem at all. I have even left the pans for two days before washing. Just soaked for a few minutes in hot water and wiped clean as a whistle.

The 12 piece is a nice starter set that I am still adding to. I bought the now discontinued pasta pot, 14" open fry (which works wonderful as a stir fry-just use my large pizza pan as a lid), the mini au gratins and received the 5 quart casserole as a free gift. My next purchase will be the 18x10 griddle to replace the piece of junk I received when I bought my new glass top stove.

The selling points for me were the clear glass lids to be able to see what's in the pot, and the rubber grips on the pan handles and lids. I don't like burning my fingers because I always forget to grap a pot holder first. They are oven safe to 375 and I usually don't cook too much over that temp any way.

I would definitely recommend this item.
Very pleased with this purchase

Reviewer: Wooden, Midwest
This is my first really nice set of cookware I've every owned - I've always used T-Fal or other middle of the road sets. If I had realized how much easier cooking would have been with this set years ago, I would have purchased it sooner. Cooking eggs (scrambled) was a breeze, put a little bit of buter in the pan, poured in the eggs and they cooked up evenly, quickly and clean up was VERY simple. I boiled pasta it the 4 qt pan and when adding the pasta to the boiling water, the temperature of the water did not drop much (because it kept right on boiling evenly). Again, the cleanup (after mixing in cream soup and other ingredients and letting the left over dry in the pan) was VERY simple. I use my dishwasher for everything so I wasn't real thrilled about the suggestion of hand washing these pans, however, they clean up so easy there is nothing to it. Great purchase!!! Highly recommend
so far so good

Reviewer: S. Destfino,
we bought these for ourselves for christmas, and so far they're great. they cook very evenly and clean up easily. we haven't used any of them in the oven yet, but on the stove we've noticed a difference in our food.
Excellent at any price

Reviewer: Joel I. Rosenthal, New Jersey
I have bought Anolon before and paid $60 for 1 ten inch pan. I pretty much used this pan every day and it has held up incredibly. For 250 the 12 piece set was an incredible bargain, and I have used every pan. The large covered skillet is a great pan for almost everything. All of the pans cook and clean so well. This is the only review I have ever taken the time to write- that is how strongly I feel about Anolon. I have bought Calpholon and Circulon and I have not been a fraction as happy. I am shocked more people don't use this brand.
Great Cookware Set!

This is the best investment for the money on cookware. It cooks evenly and is wonderful to use. The handles are great to use while you are cooking, no pot holders needed. I purchased this item at $220 and a bonus item was also included, with free shipping through amazon.
Unbelievable cookware

I am what I like to call an average cook. I wanted something that would last a while. After reading several reviews I decided to buy the set for $220.00. I have had the set for about 5 months now and my wife and I love it. We liked them so much we bought a few sets for Christmas presents. They clean up with ease and cook everything thouroughly and fast. If they are in your price range you cannot go wrong.
Nothing better.

Reviewer: Ozgard, Freehold, New Jersey USA
I bought this set of cookware after checking out Circulon and Calphalon sets and what I noticed was that this set feels better made. I got the 12 piece set and actually added a few more pieces to it afterwards because its well put togther cookware. I purchased the 1 1/2 quart pot , the Wok and the 12" griddle. This stuff cooks well and goes from stovetop to oven no sweat. The no-stick surface cleans up easily. Good stuff.
The best!!

Reviewer: Daniel Lenzmeier,
I looked around and researched A LOT and this is by far the most well thought out cookware available. The Cuisinart and Emirlware are ok, but the handles and lids get really hot and the nonstick coating wears off quickly. Spend the extra and get these. They will last a LONG time!!! I was really impressed by the quality and customer service of Analon as well. I dropped one of my lids and it had a little ding. I called customer service and they sent one out free of charge. Nice!!
