Cheap Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set Sale
Detail
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.

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.BergHOFF Tulip 12-Piece, Chefs Secret 16pc, Demeyere John Pawson, Le Creuset 5 Piece, Magefesa Ecotherm Dietetic , TruClad 3-Ply , Cuisinart Cookware Set , Le Creuset Tri-Ply , Swiss Diamond 6099R, Le Creuset Stainless Steel, Mauviel M heritage , BonJour Copper Clad, Le Creuset 5-Piece , Le Creuset 3-Piece , Scanpan Professional 8 Piece , Master Chef MC2, The Pampered Chef , Circulon Contempo, Mauviel 6560.01, Stainless Steel 10 Piece, Regal Ware 11-Piece, Mauviel M heritage, FancyCook 4-Piece, Ragalta 11-Piece , Rowenta DG5030U0, Ruffoni Opera Decor, Cookwell 25 Piece, Le Creuset 3-Ply, Mauviel M heritage, Adcraft Heavy S S, Swiss Diamond 3 piece, Exclusive Line Germany, Mauviel M heritage , Mauviel M cook, All-Clad Copper Core , All-Clad Master Chef 2, Cuisinart MultiClad Pro, Viking VSC1010, Cuisinart Professional 12 Pc, Scanpan Classic 3-Piece , Fancycook 5 Piece, 6-Piece Enamel , Delonghi Model CS-14FL , Delonghi Model CS-17GE
It's sad, because we cook a lot, we love this cookware and were hoping it would last us a long time. Looks like I'll have to replace some of our frequently-used pieces, and this time I'll be going without a nonstick coating.
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 dishwasher because my family of five fills up the dishwasher too quickly, so handwashing is no problem for me either. They wash so easily anyway, and I have never had a problem with food sticking to the rivets where the handle handles attach.
I bought this set at a very discounted price here at Amazon and am thrilled with the purchase. Cooking is so much more enjoyable with great tools.
I haven't had mine as long as some of the others here, but so far they are holding up just fine. I use them every day, and if they do end up looking a bit worn any time soon, I will still be satisfied that I got more than my money's worth.

I was able to get a replacement, and cautioned to be sure not to use any metal utensils when cooking, and to wash only by hand. I had never used metal utensils, but did run a few of the pieces through the dishwasher a time or two.
For the past 2-3 years I have carefully done just as advised, but still the bottom surface of each pot or pan began to show signs of chipping and scratch marks. I have searched the Internet for any information addressing the safety factors involved with the Anolon coating getting into our food, but all of the posts seem to be by the company that makes Anolon, and do not address this issue.
So for now I am replacing all of my cookware with either ceramic on iron or aluminum (that is PFOA free), or carbon steel (Blue Steel). If the ceramic cookware starts to chip or peal off, then I will either just go with either carbon steel, iron, or stainless steel for my cookware.
So far I have only tossed one ceramic on cast iron grill b/c the pan chipped in several places just from hand washing (I guess from bumping against the sink?), and the nonstick interior held onto cooked meat like it was part of the pan. From this point on I will select each pot or pan I buy based on what I intend to use it for; meat or veg, high or medium heat, fast or slow cooking, etc. Rather than trying to buy all of one type of cookware. I picked up this advice on the Chowhound website forum...lots of good advice there!Cuisinart 66-14, Cooks Standard Multi-Ply, Cuisinart MCP-12 , Cuisinart 77-10, KitchenAid Gourmet, Rachael Ray Hard Anodized, Rachael Ray Hard Anodized II , Cuisinart 66-17, Anolon Professional, Farberware Classic, Emeril Hard Anodized , Circulon Infinite 10-Piece, Cuisinart 77-17, Circulon Contempo 10-Piece, KitchenAid Aluminum , KitchenAid Gourmet , Calphalon Contemporary . , Calphalon Tri-Ply, All-Clad 10-Piece, Scanpan CTX Cookware, Maxam KT17 , Le Creuset Cookware, Calphalon 13-pc., Anolon Titanium Hard , Cuisinart DSA-11 , Berndes Tradition 7-Piece, Rachael Ray 10-Piece , Circulon Elite , All-Clad Master Chef 2, Rachael Ray Porcelain , KitchenAid Stainless Steel, WMF Function 4, All Clad Stainless Steel , American Kitchen AK-710 , Anolon Advanced 11-Piece , Rachael Ray Hard Anodized, Duxtop Whole-Clad , KitchenAid Gourmet , KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions , Calphalon Unison Nonstick, Cuisinart 66-10 , Cuisinart FCT-10
If it were not for the chipping scratching factors, I otherwise really liked my Anolon cookware. It cooked great, and clean up was very easy. Often I just wiped it out with a paper towel.
