CHEAP Anolon Professional 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set

My family has been using this cookware for more than 3 and 1/2 years. I wish I had purchased Anolon Professional sooner.
Our cooking needs are mostly filled by this set, along with a few other Anolon items. We also have a few “regular” (not non-stick) pots and skillets-Magnalite brand- for when we want to use much higher heat. It IS pretty much a fact that all of the non-stick cookware, even the more expensive ones, can be damaged by overheating. When we want higher heat, we use the Magnalite pots and skillets. NOTE: I really like the Magnalite stuff ’cause it lasts ‘forever’. But, it is much more difficult to clean. THAT is the reason we added the Anolon Professional Cookware to our kitchen.
The long handles on the Anolon really do stay cool when used on the stove top. Obviously the “D” handles on the saucepans and the large stockpot are not insulated and require caution (and a hotpad) when moving. All the glass lids are really nice. They seal very well around the top of the pans and I do like the see-through ability over solid lids. We do put the lids in the dishwasher, but not the Anolon pots and skillets.
Some other reviewers have expressed disappointment with the non-stick coating being damaged. I would bet that this is from overheating. All I can say about that is… we’ve used this cookware set for more than 3 and 1/2 years and the surfaces are as good as the day we bought them. I will admit that we did discard some Anolon cookware about 12 years ago that showed deterioration of the non-stick surface. These were obviously an earlier vintage than this model, and I wouldn’t fight too hard with someone who suggested that we had overheated the earlier skillets. It was for that reason that I began purchasing the Magnalite.
If I were to criticize the Anolon line, it would be for a couple of small gripes. First the handles on all the glass lids are not insulated and do get hot! Of course, since the all aluminum lids of the Magnalite also did the very same thing, this wasn’t really a surprise. I long ago learned to reach for a hotpad before removing a lid. My other gripe is more annoying. The rivets that join the handles to the pats and pans are NOT non-stick, making them somewhat difficult to clean. This is especially true of the skillets where the rivets are almost always coming into contact with whatever you are cooking. Generally, we cope with this by spraying the rivets liberally with a non-stick spray, like Pam.
At the price these are available from Amazon, you probably can’t go wrong. A single 12-inch skillet of Calphalon from Macy’s is almost as much as this whole set.
Harder than steel and coated inside with DuPont’s exceptionally durable, three-layer Autograph nonstick, the pots and pans in this 12-piece set outfit a kitchen with cookware that’s rugged enough for everyday use and looks great on the stovetop or in open storage. Made of hard-anodized aluminum, the pots and pans heat quickly and evenly without hot spots, resist scratching and denting, and are oven-safe to 500 degrees F. Hollow, 18/10 stainless-steel handles polished to a mirror finish stay cool on the stove and are riveted for durability. Handles and rims on tempered-glass lids match the handles in looks and permit cooking to be monitored without releasing heat.
The set consists of 2-quart and 3-quart saucepans with lids; a 4-quart saucepot with lid; a 5-quart sauté pan with lid; an 8-quart stockpot with lid; a 4-quart stainless-steel steamer insert; and a 10-inch skillet. Anolon Professional cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects, and lids are guaranteed against breakage for a lifetime. –Fred Brack

Imperial 12 Inch 5mm Heavy Gauge Polished Fry Pan Review

I like the weight of this pan. It feels solid and substantial. Because of the heavier weight, the pan takes a little longer to heat than I was accustomed to, but heats much more evenly and consistently than my previous pan.br /br /The non-stick coating is very efficient and seems very scratch resistant.br /br /My only complaint with the pan is the exterior finish, including the rim of the pan. They stain very easily and the stains do not come off with either hand- or dish-washing. The lustrous shine of the finish also disappeared very quickly and the exterior now looks rather worn and dull after just a month of normal use.br /br /The price, of course, was rather terrific at .br /br /I am happy to trade off the cosmetic appearance of the pan for the extra weight, better cooking ability and low price. However, if cosmetic appearance was important to me, I’d look for a higher-priced option.

CHEAP Circulon Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

I previously received as a gift a big and wrist-breaking, heavy Calphalon anodized saucepan that was placed in the dishwasher because hubby thought it would not hurt. After that, the nonstick coating started to flake. Whether or not it was the dishwasher that did that, I dared not buy Calphalon. I decided to get this set because it was on sale, to replace my flimsy cheap set, and hopefully it was better as far as nonstick feature and sturdiness were concerned. They exceeded my expectations!!! Really nonstick and so easy to clean. I can use a metal ladle or spatula and these did not scratch the surface (I think as long as it is blunt, it won’t), and to me that is important not to be using the silicone ladles or spatulas, especially that I tend to leave them in the pan for long periods then they melt after a while. Circulon heats up really good, and well-distributed at that! I like the stainless steel look on the outside as well. Highly recommended.
