Anolon Advanced Bronze Collection Hard Anodized Nonstick

Product Review

This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a saute pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet, but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sauteing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.

For the past month or so I've been using this cookware set almost exclusively in the kitchen - and I've been super impressed. Here are some of my initial impressions:

- SOLID set of pots and pans. The first thing I noticed with this set is how well-made and sturdy everything feels. The lids all fit perfectly and the handles are stable and stay cool.

- This is the most nonstick set I've ever used. Food doesn't really stick at all, even if I get distracted and leave something on the heat for too long.

- Great style. I've always loved the old-school look of bronze pots and pans, and I'm glad to own a set of my own.

- Solid selection of pots and pans. The only bummer is that I wish there was a larger high-sided saute pan. There is one included that's awesome, I'd just love to have a bigger one also.

I haven't owned this set for a long enough time to write about durability, but in the future I will update this review if I run into any...Read more

...they mean non-stick!

Hello beauties! I'm pretty much in love with this gorgeous set of cookware. When I had looked at the pictures I had expected to received pots and pans that were brown but upon receiving them (and admiring them!) I discovered they were closer to a champagne/blonde/brown color. I think they are very classy and beautiful!

But my favorite feature has been the non-stick cooking abilities. We have owned the same LAME pots & pans since we married 8 years ago. We have desperately needed to upgrade so when we discovered this set we were in love at first sight. After use and experience we (my husband & I) can both say we are STILL feeling love at first sight. They feel so sturdy and hardy, the lids fit perfectly and we love the handles. The shapes of the pans are not only sleek & good looking, but we're loving the high sides on the sauce pans, the fluted edges, and of course the beautiful finish.

The finish of these pots & pans just...Read more

I'm a long time Calphalon Hard Anodized Commercial aficionado. I picked up a pretty complete set of the original here on Amazon as they phased it out 8-10 years ago at ridiculously cheap prices. I've used it ever since and am still very happy with it. I had the opportunity to test this Analon set though and it was too good a chance to pass up. For the time being I've retired the Calphalon to the basement (the original stuff seems to last forever and I can always go back) to give the Analon a fair shake. I had one small non-stick Analon (3/4 qt?) pot I picked up a long time ago and it still looks brand new so I'm well disposed to the brand. I do treat my cookware with the proper respect it deserves. No metal tools, no dishwasher, no steel wool- I only soak if need be and use mostly nylon, silicone, or wood tools. If you want your expensive stuff to last that really is the best way. Once you make that conversion and change your habits it's pretty easy.

The set is impressive...Read more
