Product Description

Anolon Professional 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set

Amazon.com Review

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Great cookware - doesn't last, July 8, 2005
By 
Blueskitten (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
We registered for this cookware as a wedding gift. We love the tempered-glass lids so we can see what's cooking. The pans have a nice substantial feel and work well with our smoothtop range. The stay-cool riveted handles are great.

At first we loved the nonstick coating, it did what it was supposed to do. However, we have had the pans for less than three years (2 years 8 months) and the nonstick coating is already beginning to come off. We have followed the directions for care and cleaning, and not used any metal utensils on them, so I am very disappointed that the coating hasn't lasted longer. We do cook frequently with high heat, but on a good set of cookware that shouldn't make the coating come off this quickly. There are little hairline scratches (probably from stir-frying shrimp or steaming shellfish) where the coating is now beginning to clump up and rub off when we wash it.

It's sad, because we cook a lot, we love this cookware and were hoping... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Set for the Money, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
I shopped around quite a bit before finally settling on this set and I am very pleased with my purchase. I don't understand a lot of the complaints.

The fact that the set is a bit heavy is a plus in my book, not a minus. I would have been greatly disappointed if they would have been light and flimsy. I checked out a few different good sets at bed, bath and beyond before buying on-line, and I didn't think any of the big name brand hard adonized sets were any lighter than these.

One of the big selling points for me for this set is the fact that they are oven safe to 500 degrees. I have a few recipes I use all the time that start out on the stove and then move into a 375 or 400 oven, or finish under the broiler and this set can take that. Some of the others I compared have handles that won't take that kind of heat. Despite the metal handles, I am very happy that they don't get hot on the stove.

I don't put my pots and pans in the... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Peeling after a couple years, March 10, 2006
This review is from: Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
Although I ONLY hand washed these pots and pans, somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd year, the nonstick coating on the pans started lifting. I also do not use metal cooking utensils.

All that being said, I still use these pots and pans (been almost 5 years now).

Overall, I originally bought this set for ~$300 5 years ago. The pots are still in excellent condition. If I was looking for pots and pans, I would consider purchasing another set at $150.

I do cook a lot (used for business) so my 5 years with these pans may equate to 7-10 years of normal use.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Like Them, April 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Paula Deen Signature Porcelain 12-Piece Cookware Set, Butter (Kitchen)
I Loved the color of the pans. I love that they all had lids. The only reason I did not give these pans a 5 star is because I do not know what happened to my medium sized pot, but it bent, my lid does not fit on it now, I didn't drop the pan, It was fine when I first cooked with it, my second use of the item I noticed it was bent, maybe it was during my cleaning, but it is very sad because now the lid does not fit on correctly. It would also be awesome if there was a lid for the smaller cooking pan. Other than that, I love this set! But I did notice it was alot cheaper at Wal-Mart after I purchased them online, and that was also disappointing, and I mean almost $30 cheaper. But the set, I like it alot.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THE PANS, April 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Paula Deen Signature Porcelain 12-Piece Cookware Set, Butter (Kitchen)
It's been 6 months and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these pans. I read reviews that they can't handle the dishwasher and I can't say if they do since I hand wash all my pans and plastic. I also read reviews that the color wipes off even when had washed but I wanted the color so much I took the risk and the color has lasted easily. In fact one time I need to use soft scrub on the outside of the pan from an over flow that cooked on and I was careful at first but quickly realized the color doesn't come as easily as some reviews I read. The non stick has lasted too but I do put a cloth between the pans so when stacked the metal doesn't harm the non-stick. They're a joy to cook in.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice non-stick but does not last, December 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Farberware 20772 Enhanced 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set (Kitchen)
PROS:
-Non-stick works really well; there is hardly any sauce left in the pot/pan after you simply pour it out.
-The handles do not get hot.
-Lids fit well and are very high-quality.

CONS:
-Scratches easily.
-The bottom of the pots and pans are ribbed and hard to clean.
-We used the pans on a gas stove, and the non-stick wore off in approximately a year (not due to scratches but probably due to the heat). We are looking for a new set of longer-lasting cookware.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, January 25, 2008
This review is from: Farberware 20772 Enhanced 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set (Kitchen)
Love the pots and pans. The silicone handles don't get hot and it looks very nice. Cleans very easy and the price is fantastic! No matter where I shopped I couldn't find a better deal than Amazon. Now the down side, When I recieved the pots, on the dutch oven there was a manufactures defect on the bottom of the pot. The shinny, ribbed silver part was incomplete and it had some pretty deep scratches on it. I called the number provided in the Farberware box as directed by farberware and customer service so rudley told me they wont deal with it. Even though it was a manufactures defect, farberware won't honor thier warranty because I got the set off Amazon and they don't carry that set as an open stock item. So now I have to ship the entire package back to amazon to get a replacement of only the dutch oven. Amazon's customer service was great, farberwares on the other hand needs a whole lot of improvement.

I am so pleased with the product. I have been a Farberware user for 40 years and my new set is even better than I had expected, and I expected a lot. It is sturdy, easy to clean, heats evenly and is attractive. The price was very fair.
