Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is our second Anolon set and we are very pleased with the quality of the product. The first set his running strong since last 6 years. The non-stick quality of Anolon is nowhere less than the other top brand names which are a lot more expensive. The coating is consistent all across and it provides a uniform heat to the food inside.

The weight of each of them is appropriate for their size and doesn't feel too heavy in everyday use.

Overall, it is a great value for money if you are looking for a long-lasting product and don't want to spend on it again and again as with the cheaper store brands.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm really pleased overall with the quality of this set. It's thick and has a weighty feel to it, unlike cheaper sets I've used (such as Rachael Ray 87593 Hard Anodized II Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 12-Piece Cookware Set, Orange). Food releases easily, no scratches yet, and I've had no problems washing everything in the dishwasher.

If I have one complaint it's that the set doesn't include a small frying pan, and I don't care for how tall the 8-quart covered stockpot is (I prefer something shorter and wider). Nevertheless, it's worth it to spend a little more and buy this set over cheaper brands.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I had a set of Meyer pots and pans that were sold via infomercial, and they didn't last within a year or so, they warped and handles became loose. This set is MUCH better. The pans are nice and heavy, and so nonstick that food practically rinses off and water beads right up.

I love the tall handles even if it means the fry pan lid won't fit upside down in the pan as a result (I hang the lids up instead). The silicone part is quite grippy and the metal ends of the pan handles don't get hot.

All the pans are very useful for my cooking needs. The flat-bottomed fry pan is a tad small for family-sized meals; I use the larger T-fal A9108274 Specialty Nonstick 5-Quart Jumbo Cooker with Glass Lid Fry Pan Dishwasher Safe Cookware, Black for that purpose, but the smaller Anolon pan is fine for couples or singles and is easier to store.

Honest reviews on Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 9-Piece Cookware

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We have used this set for about a month now and my family is very impressed with the quality. The quality of the non-stick surface is great. I have reviewed cheaper sets that had issues with melted cheese or other creamy textures. The Anolon set works flawlessly.

I like the heavier weight of the cookware. Many sets I have seen feel very lightweight. These guys feel heavier, which usually translates into longer heat retention and more even cooking.

The handles are comfortable and the set is asthetically pleasing. If I had one gripe it would be that I wish the saute pan was larger. A 5 quart saute pan would be nice. But since no cookware set provides that I really can't complain. While the set is not cheap, I believe it represents a good value when you look at the quality you are getting.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this cookware set! I've stayed away from nonstick cookware for close to a decade now as I was constantly frustrated by how frequently they needed to be thrown out and replaced. My Stainless Steel cookware i still going strong and look good as new; however, I've come to accept that there are times where having some nonstick cookware would be ideal.

To start; each piece in this set is of solid construction and posess a nice weighty feel. The nonstick surface seems to be of excellent quality and I have high hopes that it will last longer than sets from my past. The nonstick surface is supposed to be metal utensil safe, which is a huge plus for someone like me who occassionally uses the odd metal spoon to stir/scramble/saute(probably why I so quickly destroyed so many cookware sets in the past). I've used the skillet and covered saute pan about a dozen times now and even with my rough handling, the nonstick surface is not showing any signs of even minor wear and tear. I've also cooked sticky rice in one of the smaller sauce pans and it was a breeze getting the browned rice from the bottom out without having to chip away at it.

I really appreciate the silicone handles for stove top cooking. This is something that is lacking from my stainless steel set and mits are needed when lifting the lids or transporting pots over to the sink for straining out hot water. It's so much more convenient to simply be able to lift the lid with my hand to stir, or simply grasp the pot directly in order to transfer. I do wish the lids had a built in vent (helpful when cooking rice) but they do seem to vent just fine on their own from around the rim.

Overall, I think this is an excellent buy for anyone in the market for a nonstick set. This would also make a lovely gift for a new couple, assuming they have no qualms about nonstick cookware. Personally, I see myself getting the most use out of the skillet and saute pan and would have likely purchased those separately for specific use (like for cooking eggs) but overall, I am pleased to have this entire set as part of my collection and would recommend it to family and friends.
