Analon Reviews

I had 3 of these for almost 2 years. What a great value. Easy to clean, thick anodized alum allows even cooking. Exterior surface can scratch easily but non-stick interior surface is excellent and long lasting if you follow the manufacturer directions for taking care of it.

i just recieved my pan today it is everything i'd hoped for i can't wait to use it and i'm looking forward to having this pan for many years

This pot is an exceptionally good investment, and an unbeatable value. I have used it to cook spaghetti sauce, braised beef with onion gravy, stew, chili, meatballs in sauce...you name it! The results have been excellent. Keep it on low simmer, and it requires just about no watching. It's a snap to clean. I have also bought one of these wonderful Analon pots for my son, who enjoys cooking for himself and his family.

To sum it all up: I LOVE THIS POT!

I bought this set for my wife in January of 2004. It was birthday present and she had wanted a nice set of pans for a while. I find myself using it more than her. We love it. Cooking is fun again. The aluminum heats quick and evenly and cleans in a jiffy. They look great as well. We are in the process of redoing our kitchen and I am going to put in a pot rock so wcan show this set off. I think anyone who buys this set will love it.

I have spent thousands of dollar's, On Meyers cookware everthing from KitchenAid, Anolon, Prestige, Faberware, & Circulan, just to name a few. Though Meyers does manufacture very high quality pots & pans and I would recommend them to anyone it's just sad that if you have any problem with them, under warranty, you have to go throught the chain of command, that never gets you anywhere, even if you want to speak with upper management about the rudeness of the customer service department. Their customer service department employees are always very rude and snotty and they act like they are doing you a favor to even talk to you about their products. Don't get me wrong they do make good cookware, probably the best, but you as the consumer are at the mercy of their customer service and their descision or your fait on wheather your life time warranty is honored or not.

I am thoroughly impressed with this cookware set. Each piece heats evenly and cleans up like a dream. The clear lids allow me to check boil rate without lifting. The handles do really stay cool, even when I'm cooking over high heat.

The sizes of the pots and skillets are great. I seem to have the right size pot for whatever cooking need I have.

I love this griddle; it has become my favorite piece of cookware. Durable, even-heating, and easy to clean, it has made me decide to purchase a complete set of Anolon cookware when my other stuff wears out.

If you ever thought you'd never need a griddle, wait till you take this one out for a test drive! Anolon's anodized alumimum cladding heats and cooks evenly, and on a ceramic top burner, it's the perfect pan for hotcakes and hamburgers. It fits 4 man-sized hamburgers readily and with its low edges (compared to skillets), flipping the burgers is a breeze. The Dupont Autograph lining, the best in non-stick lining, makes for effortless clean-up. The Anolon product quality is excellent. If you're looking to "upgrade" your cookware but can't quite stomach the prices of Calphalon, Anolon is the way to go.

I have wanted to upgrade my pans for some time, so several months ago I started looking at Anodized Aluminum cookware.

I wanted glass covers, stay cool handles, durability and rigidity/flatness. The last feature is critically important on my electric stove's glass surface. Pans that are warped wobble and food moves around in them making them annoying to use.

This set has every feature I was looking for.

I bought my first set from Amazon, and they are still rock solid. I use them constantly. An egg in the fry pan falls in the pan and stays, it doesn't take a hiatus to the low point of the pan.

The surfaces are durable. I follow directions pretty much, but have used metal utensils on occasion and found them unscathed.

My only complaint is this small 9 piece set gives you a 1 quart pan and a 3 quart pan. 1 quart is very small and doesn't get used much, so that puts too much demand on the 3 quart. Fortunately, I was able to pick up another set piecemeal, and now, with two 3 quart pans and a couple of extra covers, I am very happy.

I have purchased some Calphalon, and I have no qualms with the products. I just don't see any quality difference for the money. For nonstick, I think Anolon is better. If you want some pans that are not non-stick, you can augment this set with Calphalon separates (like I prefer the Calphalon broiling pan with rack so I can use metal utensils making gravy).

I guess what I am saying overall is this set is, if not better, as good as, Calphalon. And it is way cheaper, so there is just no comparison.

This was my first purchase of a "professional" quality cookware set. My other pans were the Teflon specials and Revere Ware bought from discount stores. Man, what a difference! These pans are simply awesome. I bought the big 12-inch sauté pan and then I bought a complete set. The heat distribution is amazing and I absolutely love the glass lids.

Drawback: The side and lid handles get fairly hot when in use (not enough to burn you, but you can't hold on to them more than a few seconds). I wished they did not use metal handles on the lid, but something that would not transfer the heat as easily as metal.

This is a minor annoyance in an otherwise great product. Hey, grab a handle once or twice and you'll learn real fast. A great addition to any kitchen and highly endorsed!

I am a person who loves to cook although I wouldn't call myself a "gourmet". I waited a long time before getting new cookware, but these were worth the wait.

Anaolon Professionals are very resonably priced and are a delight to work with. They are easy to use, easy to clean and handsome enough to display. Food cooks very evenly and quickly, it is actually hard to burn anything, and the no-stick surface is very durable. They clean easily with soap and water and require no special care. I could not be more pleased with my purchase.

I have had the pleasure of pretending i knew how to cook for my new husband until i purchased this whole set of cookware. well, know i think i am 'chef boyardee' this cookware is very durable, allows you to cook your foods thoroughly, and helps you if you want to do it the 'atkins' way! The price is somewhat outrageous, but well worth it, and you dont spend your time trying to clean up either. After purchasing this set, i would recommend a cast iron dutch oven to complete your kitchen!

I love this pan. I've just started to enjoy cooking and purchased this pan to help with recipes that I have to double and triple to feed my growing family. The size is perfect for us. Clean up is a breeze. Cooks very evenly. Works well with my glass cooktop. I will be buying more Analon in the future. Be aware however that it is NOT 5 quarts as stated. It is actually 4.75 which is not a huge difference but it is also not what it is advertised to be.

This is the Cadillac of Saute Pans. It's heavy, easy to wash, non-stick, heats evenly, and is big enough to cook paella for 6. Beware though, a friend bought the same one from her Gold Box and it arrived with the lid missing.

I love this skillet - it could be slightly better, but overall it is fantastic.

I bought this because it was such a great deal - it was a no-lose situation. It is just big enough to fit four pieces of bread on the bottom - making it great for french toast and grilled sandwiches. It is deep enough that it is a great pan for anything that spatters - although my wife seems to stick to the other pans we have for some reason, and we get spatter everywhere. But when I've used it with oil, it works great.

The only issue with it is that it is deep enough that it can be tough when trying to get the spatula into it. But if you're using it with the right purpose in mind, it works really well. Just tough when I've tried to use it for eggs - can't really get in and flip them well. But great for grilled sandwiches, french toast, etc... - where you need more surface area.

I purchased this pan a year ago on a whim, largely because Amazon was practically giving it away. I figured that if the pan turned out to be a dud, I wouldn't have lost much money.

The pan is thick (and thus heats evenly), but is still easy to manipulate. The handle (nylon?) stays cool to the touch. The nonstick coating has held up beautifully--food just slides right out of it. Just remember to NEVER USE METAL UTENSILS! (I put a very small scratch in mine by grabbing a metal spatula once without thinking. Fortunately, the scratch didn't penetrate through the nonstick coating, but I should have known better.)

The only reason I'm giving this pan 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't come with a lid, which is necessary for some cooking tasks. (When I need a lid, I just grab the lid from my wok; it looks ugly, but it mostly works.)

Note that this pan comes in two versions: the Classic version (this version), and the Professional version. The only real difference is the handle: the Professional version has a metal handle and is oven-safe up to 500 degrees F; the Classic version is limited to 350 degrees F. Choose whichever one makes more sense for you.

This is my favorite pan. I am now hooked on non-stick Anolon cookware. This fry pan is a great size with deep sides with plenty of room for a whole fried chicken, for cooking up pasta dishes, just right for bacon slices, and cooks 4 supersized burgers at a time. I use a steel mesh splatter lid to contain the grease splatters during fying which works fine because this pan does not come with a lid.

Clean-up is sooo easy. I have yet to find anything, melted cheeses, eggs, sauces, that will stick to this pan. Just a little dish detergent and a few swipes of a wet wash cloth cleans it beautifully. I have not put the pan in my dishwasher but this has been my policy with all non-stick pans since I started buying them, so I'm not sure how it would fair being washed that way.

As far as construction, the pan is made well. The handle is securely rooted to the pan with no hint of ever coming loose. It's easy to grip and lift and stays cool during cooking. The pan itself is heavy and the surface promotes very even cooking.
The pan resists stains, as well.

When considering all of the above, the price is so reasonable, almost a steal. I highly recommend you buy this pan.

Everything simply slides right off of these pots and pans! They are very sturdy and functional. The handles have no rivets that go through the pan and collect gunk, and they are oven proof up to 350 F, a great feature. I also love the clear lids that let me see what I am cooking.
I have never put these through the dish washer nor have I used any cooking sprays on them. Both of these things are supposed to be harmful to the teflon coating, but I have found that nothing will stick to them so cleaning is easy, and little oil is needed. This set came with everything I needed for my daily cooking needs, but I have recently added the pasta pot and griddle to my collection and love them both.

I recently was looking through Amazon's site and saw the price on this set and I was amazed. My wife and I received this set almost 10 years ago as a wedding gift. At that time it sold for about [money]. Our set still looks almost new! The clear glass lids work great and are very rugged. They have been dropped and banged around many times with no ill effects. Our saute pan is showing signs of wear but considering it is used every day it still lets a fried egg slide right out with no oil! I'm planning on buy another set and just keeping in the attic!! The bonus casserole pan makes this offer almost to hard to believe! Buy this with confidence!

I love this set. The nonstick surface works very well, and is easy to clean. The see-thru lids are nice, and the work well on the saute pans and skillets as well (even though they aren't pictured that way). The lids make great splatter screens. The quality is very good. These items were on our wedding registry. What a great, lasting item.

The pans seem of great quality (haven't actually used them yet), but I wanted to advise of the packaging. I ordered two sets, and planned to give one as a gift. I was less than thrilled to see the large lettering on the box: Our gift to you - free when you purchase $150 of Anolon cookware. Thus, be aware that if you want to give these pans as a gift, the giftee will think they were freebie! No one else has mentioned this-- maybe they are not all packaged the same.

I bought these on sell and I'm glad I did this cookware heats evenly and clean up is easy with the nonstick surface. Would buy again.

I just received the Analon 4 piece set for 19.99 a few days ago. The pans cook everything so evenly and tasty. I highly recommend this product. Great value for the money.

This pan is a definite buy. The nonstick coating has stood up beautifully to use. My family and I cook everything imaginable in it- eggs, veggies, chicken. Every item cooks evenly and comes off the pan with no hassle. Cleaning is a breeze with the nonstick. The pan also heats up quickly.

The size is big enough for a family, though I wished it was bit deeper.

My only concern for this pan is that it is a bit heavy. Due to its weight, when you want to empty the pan, you need to hold the handle with both hands. The handle is long enough for a two-handed grip, but I wished that they had added another grip on the opposite side.

The final verdict? If you can get it on Amazon for less than 15 bucks, then go for it!

I purchased this pan with the intent of making those "once-in-the-while" big meals when family comes over. However, it is so flexible that I have used my pan numerous times since I have purchased it. This pan is wonderful for stir frying, sauteing or pan frying. It is nice and deep keeping all the vegetables from falling out of pan and oil from splasing out. You don't need alot of oil to cook with this nonstick feature. It also heats up very quickly and distributes heat evenly across the pan. The curved edge makes it easier to stir your food. It is also very easy to clean up.

For those of you who are wondering if the handle gets hot...nope! I thought I would have to spend extra money buying a heat resistant handle cover but it wasn't necessary at all. I hope the pan lives up to its' name. I have gone through at least one nonstick pan every year or two. Not to mention that they were not my primary pans. The only thing that I would like is a matching cover. Then it'll be perfect!

Overall, if you are looking for that perfect multi-purpose pan...try this one for the price!

I cook Chinese food EVERY day. The Anolon pans, to me, are kind of expensive that I have never ever thought about trying until one month ago when this pan had amazing price here at Amazon.com. My Gold Box offered me a very great price that I will blame myself if I don't take it right away.

I am so glad that I took the offer. This pan is amazing! The handle, which is my biggest concern, stays COOL even after 10 minutes cooking on the stovetop. The pan is heated up quickly and evenly! This pan has such a perfect curve that I can flip food easily without using any utensil!

The 12 inch Deep skillet is the perfect size for cooking for 2~6 people. It is about 2 3/4 inches deep! Great pan for stir-fry since the surface of the bottom is bigger than the stir-fry pan. It shorten the cooking time!

I have to make 2~3 stir-fry dishes for dinner every day. Stir-frying for 10 minutes for the 1st dish, I have to wash the pan right away for next stir-frying. I usually don't like those washings between dishes, but this pan is so easy to clean that I really enjoy washing it! Remember: NEVER put hard-anodized nor non-stick pan in the dishwasher.

Having this pan is like the best thing ever happened to me in kitchen! Thanks, Amazon.com!!

This is a very nice size griddle pan. You can cook sausage and egg breakfast for 2 or warm a tortilla for a burrito or to make rolling an enchilada easier. The pan has a nice weight to it without being overly heavy. My Apartment has an electric stove and the large burner on medium to medium-low heats this pan very evenly. It does not seem to have any hot spots, so food cooks and browns quite evenly. The high domed lid from Anolon's 12-inch stir-fry fits this griddle very well giving it even more versatility.

I bought a whole set of Anolon cookware and got the griddle and a chef's pan as a bonus. I love this cookware - just care for it as the enclosed directions instruct and you will have no problems. The griddle makes great pancakes, french toast, and eggs. It heats tortillas really well, also. Buy with confidence and enjoy your new cookware.

With the recommended care and cautions, these products should last a lifetime. After several uses, the product still looks new. Lesser cookware's outer areas and bottom are virtually impossible to clean, even though the cooking area is OK.

If I have read correctly, Meyer will replace broken glass lids that come with some of their other products if the ring (and knob?) are returned to them. This fact makes me feel a lot better about the lids and even more positive about the company.

I like the bakelite knobs and handles; they do not require potholders for stovetop use.... However, they are limited to 350 degrees in the oven.
