I've been unhappy with the performance of any number of nonstick frying pans with my glass top electric stove. It seemed whatever brand from cheapest up to expensive, all of them would warp concave at higher heat levels to where only the very center would have limited contact with the stove. I'd been searching for a THICK pan that would hopefully resist this effect, but almost everything, regardless of price, appears to be the same (thin) thickness.
So last week I'm browsing through the mall and saw this pan set and was amazed at the thickness. It looked twice as thick as everything else and had a substantial weight difference as well. Mall price was over twice what Amazon was selling them for so I just came right home and ordered this set along with the 8 inch single to round out the collection.
What a disapointment when these arrive and are just the same thickness and weight as everything else. Was I crazy and misremembering what I'd seen at the mall? No, because the 8 inch pan that also arrived was the thick version! Looks like Analon decided to cut costs somewhere along the line. A quick google search and I confirmed I'm not the only one to experience this. Too bad I'd torn the packaging off before I noticed otherwise I'd be returning them. I don't feel right giving it one star since $50 for a nice set of thin nonstick pans is not a terrible deal, but I'm not happy with the bait and switch Analon pulled.

I purchased a set of Analon Advanced pans in 2003 and never had an issue with then, but after 7 years of use I needed a new skillet. I purchased this twin pack and have been completely disappointed. Not only are they much lighter weight material compared to the original set, the non-stick coating started coming off after a few weeks of use.

Amazon shows a list price of $120 for this 2-skillet set (Anolon SKU 82274), which would seem to justify the $49.95 price. However, if you go to the manufacturer's web site, this same set (SKU 82274) is listed at $49.99--only $.04 more than what Amazon is charging.So beware! The misleading "list price" makes the pricing on this set look better than it really is.
Further, you need to be aware that the Anolon Advanced "Bronze" line of cookware is generally of a somewhat lower quality than the regular Anolon Advanced line; while some individual pieces in the Bronze line are directly comparable to the corresponding piece in the regular line, others are not. This 2-skillet set corresponds to the 2-skillet set in the regular line, but neither set is of the same quality as the individually-available 10" and 12" skillets in the regular line (the latter having thicker bases and heavier construction).
None of this is to say that this Anolon skillet set isn't a good value for $50 (compared to other mid-quality cookware), just that this is not the extreme deal on high-end cookware that Amazon's listing makes it appear to be.
Honest reviews on Anolon Advanced Bronze Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Inch and 12-Inch
Analon Advanced skillets are great. They are especially easy to clean with the non-stick finish on the outside of the pan as well as the inside. Virtually nothing sticks. I've had my original Analon for several years with no problems, and after researching many other brands, both lower and higher end, decided to stay with Analon.

I bought these because I cannot use my cherished iron skillets on my new ceramic top stove. And they were such a good price, 2 for the price of one. However, I was put off a bit by the color.Actually the pans are rather attractive, cook well, brown well. I have a lot of circulon and I like these better.
You won't be sorry that you bought these.
