 "Analon ?... Nope!" 2009-07-21
By Christopher D. Lutyens (Rhode Island)
I have owned two "Analon" products for a little over a year. I am now removing them from my kitchen. They no longer have any nonstick qualities whatsoever.... and it's not because I overheated them. I would not advise anyone to purchase "Analon" pots or pans. They are a big fat rip-off as far as I am concerned. I paid big money for these products less than 18 months ago... OH WELL... Stainless is Painless!

 "Great set at an amazing price" 2009-07-08
By SJ Eats (NY, NY)
I got this set as a wedding gift last spring. I waited over a year to write my review and it is a great one. I really wanted the Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 12-Piece Cookware Set instead for its silicone handles but given this set was almost half the price, I opted for this instead.



Pros - Like everyone said, it heats evenly and very sturdy. I love that it has a glass lid so you can see into the pot. Overall a great performance.



Cons - Again as others said, the lids/handles do get hot so I have to use a pot holder or gloves. I also wish that the pan had a more gradual transition up to the side vs a sharp one. It isn't a big deal but when I cook certain items, the angle is a bit annoying for flipping. The other set I originally wanted had this so perhaps I should have gone with that instead looking back (but at over $300, I wasn't sure who would get us that gift).



All in all, this is great. I also just ordered the clad set (but with the silicone handles - yay!) so looking forward to using that as well. Some foods just cook better with clad in my opinion.

 "Best non-stick coating ever" 2009-04-29
By Graham F. Wells (Atlanta, GA)
This cookware is fantastic. Most recently, I sought to simmer some plastic tubing that I had use for brewing beer so as to loosen the grime inside it. Long story short, I forgot about it over high gas heat, all the water boiled out and the sauce pan sat over high heat for over 30 minutes with no water! The tubing had melted to the surface and I was prepared to toss the pan in the trash as ruined. I poured some water in the pan to cool it down and was able to completely remove the melted plastic tubing (just lifted right out!) and wipe the pan clean with no scrubbing. The non-stick was in perfect condition and I used it the next night. This is a QUALITY set of cookware. Do yourself a favor and get this. Anolon has a lifetime customer in my book.

 "NOT dishwasher safe!! Read the care instructions inside the box!!" 2009-04-10
By Mary Guttieri (Wooster, OH)
We bought this product because Amazon said in their bullets "Dishwasher safe, but handwashing recommended." But in fact, the care instructions that come with the product are very specific NOT to put it in the dishwasher, that it completely VOIDS the warranty.



This is frustrating because no matter how hard we try, we cannot teach my mother, who lives with us, NOT to put pots and pans in the dishwasher! We bought these thinking we'd be OK-- she would not ruin them-- and now it's hopeless to even think about getting them all back in the box to ship them back (the care instructions were at the bottom). I could scream.

 "I have a set that is over 13 years old" 2009-03-27
By SAHM from MO (Missouri)
Got a simliar set almost thirteen years ago as a wedding present. It's been through a family a four, here are my pros and cons:



Pros: Heavy which means even heating and better temperature control.

Handles are sturdy, they're solid even after years of use

Stainless steel elements of the cookware are solid. They look as

good as the day that we got them. Clean up beautifully.

The size of the skillet is perfect for cooking large amounts of

food. Hard to find a reasonably priced skillet in this size. It's

been a favorite of mine. Steamer size is also good for family

style cooking amounts.



Cons: The surface is unforgiving. Do not, under any circumstances, put

it in the dishwasher. My mother in law did this with one of the

pans after I had it for a year and KILLED the non-stick surface.

This was quite an unhappy surprise, considering that I've purchased

cheap teflon skillets at Kmart that have performed better than

that! Your heating capabilities are limited also, because of it.

Clean up on the inside is easy. Cleanup on the outside can be a

challenge if something oily spills onto it and isn't immediately

and completely removed. Gooey, no problem. Baked on grease is the

issue.



Because of the handwashing issue, because of the limitations of the surface, those would be the reasons why I wouldn't buy this set again. It's sturdy, that's for sure. I would consider this a reasonable value for the money. However, if I'm going to invest further into my cookware, I'm going heavy stainless steel and will forevermore bypass the non-stick stuff. I want soemthing that I can slap into the dishwasher and use an SOS pad on it for quick cleanups. Gone are the days where I want to fuss with my kitchenware. I don't want to spend my time on it and I don't want one mistake with cleanup killing my investment.
