Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 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.

Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 1/2-Quart Mini Au Gratins, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These mini Au Gratin dishes are very well made, the SureGrip handles are very comfortable and ergonomic. The dish is 7 by 5 inches, which is the perfect size for single servings. If you are looking for a larger Au Gratin dish to serve the whole family, don't buy this set. You will be disappointed to see how small the dishes are. The 1/2 quart size is just a pint size. I have tried baked scallop and baked salmon with the dishes, the result is fantastic. Cleanup is very easy.

Among the most prized cookware materials, hard-anodized aluminum offers the dual advantage of quick, even heating and long-lasting durability. This set of two mini oval au gratins from Anolon proudly boasts these features, but adds an Autograph nonstick coating inside and out for effortless food release and simple cleanup. The result, a striking piece that cooks efficiently on the stovetop, yet looks perfectly at home in a gourmet kitchen. Offering deep sides and a 1/2-quart capacity, the cookware can be used for both baking and serving--the au gratins work great for hot artichoke dip, baked figs with honey glaze, and quiche, even individual servings of sizzling shrimp scampi.
The hard-anodized aluminum construction not only heats quickly, but also eliminates "hot spots" that plague cheaper cookware due to its thick side and bottom walls. Like many other Anolon cookware lines, Anolon Advanced features the company's patented SureGrip handles, which are a combination of 18/10 stainless steel and silicone rubber and are riveted to the sides for durability. In addition, the ergonomic handles provide a comfortable, confident grip and stay cool on the stovetop for easy control. Oven-safe to 400 degrees F, the cookware should be washed by hand with a mild cleanser. Each mini au gratin measures 7 by 5 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty against defects.
