Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: 3.5 because I like them
Summary: 4 Stars
My dad was badly in need of cookware--as he still owned the pots that I remember him having back when I was in preschool--, so I purchased a set for his birthday. Based on the overly positive feedback he gave (over the phone since we're on opposite sides of the states), I eventually purchased a set for myself (when I moved into my new apartment) and my mother (Mother's Day). They weren't what I expected, but I kept them anyway. They're actually not bad, but I noticed a little unevenness in the pots (upon receipt), and cracking in the nonstick layer (soon after), which isn't peeling by the way.
I've only had them for a little over three months. I followed the seasoning instructions, I only use plastic or silicon stirrers (actually the silicon spatulas), I hand-wash everything (wipe these), so I find the cracks strange. Also note: My dog is the only other being in my apartment, so unless she's functional like Duke--the Bush's Baked Beans dog--, I can assure you she hasn't been using these pots to have caused the minor problems.
These won't last as long as the pots my father kept for so many years. I'm expecting about two/ three years out of these (two-three years is actually beyond optimistic).
Overall, they're okay. I rate them a solid 3.5 due to the flaws, but a 4 based on aesthetics.
Would I recommend this product? Sure, if you're like me, paying tuition and trying to save money. I'd even recommend these to anyone working with a budget...just don't expect perfection.
Description of Anolon Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set
Anolon Professional 12-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware SetHarder 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
