Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Anolon Titanium Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 10-Inch Open French SkilletCustomer Review: Awesome addition to my kitchen - great for lowfat diets Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this skillet for a couple of weeks now and it is just AWESOME! It uses Dupont's highest-quality Teflon "Silverstone" coating and it really works. One of the greatest things about it is that you truly can cook alot of foods without any oil at all: I've been making scrambled eggs every morning by throwing the eggs and ham in the pan w/nothing else, and they just flip right out when you're done with very little residue left over to wipe out. Same with pancakes.One thing that took getting used to is that it's alot heavier than the aluminum saute pan that I used to use, so it takes quite a bit longer to heat up and responds more slowly to changes in the flame. And it also takes more wrist action to muscle around. The upside, of course, is that the heat is very even and it's worked great for slowly simmering thick sauces. Another downside is that this does NOT include a lid, but my glass 6 qt saucepan lid fits acceptably. I think the titanium aspect, while technically valid, is mostly marketing hype. Apparently it's a thin coating on the exterior - not cooking surface - that's supposed to prevent discoloration in the dishwasher, but I can't imagine you'd ever need more vigorous cleaning than rinsing it out in the sink.
Description of Anolon Titanium Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 10-Inch Open French SkilletAnolon Titanium is revolutionary cookware that brings style, convenience and professional gourmet performance to your kitchen. It's hard-anodized, nonstick cookware with stainless steel handles. Stay cool during normal stovetop cooking Oven safe to 500 Degrees F Dupont's Autograph 2 Nonstick Interior Exclusive multiple reinforced nonstick technology designed to outlast traditional nonstick coatings. Provides enduring nonstick performance, superior durability, and easy cleaning Extra Thick, Heavy Gauge, Hard-Anodized Aluminum Construction Provides fast and even heat distribution for perfect cooking performance Twice as strong as stainless steel - gives supreme durability A rare feature among hard-anodized cookware, Anolon Titanium is actually dishwasher-safe. However, it offers cooks many advantages long before cleanup time. Constructed of extra-thick aluminum, these heavy pots and pans conduct heat quickly and uniformly (no hot spots) and won't warp. Their handsome, charcoal-gray exterior is harder than steel and resists scratching and denting. Inside, they're coated with DuPont's exceptionally durable Autograph nonstick that readily releases food. Stainless-steel handles have an attractive satin finish. The handles are rounded for comfort, hollow to stay cool on the stovetop, oven-safe to 500 degrees F, and have hanging holes. This classic, slope-sided, 10-inch skillet is perfect for sautéing, frying, or pan-roasting a veal chop. Unlike conventional hard-anodized pots and pans, this cookware is dishwasher-safe because its titanium-composite exterior is nonporous. Nevertheless, its virtue of being dishwasher-safe is not unlimited. To prevent pots and pans from discoloring in a dishwasher over time--and to prevent voiding the lifetime warranty against defects--the manufacturer's cleaning instructions (included) about water temperature (120 to 140 degrees F) and detergent (mild, with a phosphate content less that 7-1/2 percent) must be strictly observed. As with most cookware, hand washing Anolon Titanium is the better alternative for ideal care. --Fred Brack
