Amazing....Affordable.....
By SMK828
I am not one to usually post reviews of anything, yet I felt the need to let everyone know how incredible this set of pots and pans really is. My wife and I are avid, amateur chefs. We love to cook and are always in the kitchen concocting something. When we received the set, we were immediately amazed at the high quality and beauty of the pots and pans. They are all really well crafted. The nonstick coating is remarkable and the comfort in the handles makes transferring dishes from pot to plate easy and safe. In my time, I have spilled one too many dishes because the handles were either cheap or slippery. Not so here!One of my favorite aspects of the cookware set is the depth of the pans. I am so used to other skillets with shallow bottoms that help to create havoc on your stove top. With the pans in this set, whatever you are cooking stays exactly where it needs to go, in the pan and then onto your plate! I am not the cleanest of cooks and having a deeper pan with sides that keep the food cooking has been really great for me.Overall I am so happy with the set. The quality and beauty of the product, coupled with the ease that it puts into our cooking makes this the perfect set for absolutely anyone. When you add in that these pots and pans have the size that you need for whatever you are cooking while at a great price, it is completely evident that this is a deal not to be passed up!!!

A number of design flaws, but still ok
By Innocente
[Update]After a year and a half of use, I am ready to finalize my review below.Everything I said below still stands.With these additional inputs :* The exposed handle metal near the pan does indeed get VERY hot. Hot enough to burn you if not careful.* The lighter weight of the pans makes for 'hot spots' during cooking. This is most evident in the larger pans and pots. In addition, I am finding that the coating is also thinner on these pans. I still have my old set, and pans that are showing wear on the new set do not show any wear on the old set. I have been using the new set for a fraction of the time I used the old set.* The non-nonstick riveted point in the pans has proven to be a major problem in the smaller pans. These smaller pans often have food that gets on to those rivets and 'cooks' onto their surface and into the joint area at the rivet<->pan interface. It is VERY difficult to effectively clean these areas with cloth and/or brush. It is so bad on the small skillet I purchased that I have gone back to using the one from my earlier set that is welded.This will probably be my last Analon set.The quality is just not there anymore._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________Sorry to rain on the 'We Love Analon' parade, but there are a number of design flaws in this offering that folks should be aware of. These flaws apply to pretty much all of the Advances Hard Anodized line, and may extend to other lines as well. I cannot comment on longevity, as if they are as good as my previous set, it will be a long time before I can say they are as good, durability wise. But, there are issues:* Tall lid handles prevent lids from sitting flush when upside down in Deep Skillet pans. This includes the largest of the Deep Skillet pans as well. This makes stacking and storage very difficult. Previous lids had the single button type handle; since they fit the new line, I may just use those instead of the "New & Improved" model lids.* The Open Skillet (French type Saute) pans now have curved and bowed sides. This makes using wood or hard nylon straight edge spatulas innefective as they cannot scrape cleanly going up/down OR side-to-side ! Plan on changing over to curved tools and/or flexible tools.* The pan handles have a heat insulated covering that does NOT extend fully over the whole handle. There is an inch or so of bare metal at the tip of the handle and at the base of the handle. My experience is that the metal tip part does not get hot, but that the exposed metal at the base may get hot. This will depend on the length of time cooking and the temperature. Still, the insulator->metal transition is flush, so one has to be careful where one places the hand.* These pans are somewhat lighter weight than my previous set. It is tough to determine exactly how much lighter, but it is noticable when you pick up and examine the same capacity pot. Such as the 2qt one.* Worst for last. The attachment of the handles to the pots is very, very bad. Not that they are loose; it is the way they are attached. My previous set, the handle attachment points were either welded or cast outside as part of the pot. Then, the handle is attached to those points. The interior of the pan was clean and smooth. On these pans, there are holes drilled in the pans and bolts are passed through the pans to create the attachement points for the handle. Now, this may be fine for Stainless cookware, where pan and bolthead are the same material; no harm, no foul. BUT, on non-stick cookware, this is a disaster. You will spend 5x as long cleaning food out from around and off these boldheads than you will spend cleaning the pan proper!!! Food will stick to them. Food will get into the small crack where the bolthead meets the pan surface. And, these boltheads are NOT coated; they are raw stainless. To make matters worse, they prevent effective scraping down of the side of the pan near the boltheads.I really don't know who thought these were good design choices. But, those folks should probably be encouraged to go work for the competition.All the above not-withstanding, I would still purchase these pans. In fact, I expanded my set an addional two pieces AFTER getting and examining the set. Despite all the flaws, most of which can be worked around or 'lived with', my feeling is that Analon still makes some of the best non-stick cookware available.I just wish that the folks that make decisions on changing a design would actually be USING the product in a real-world home kitchen setting. And not just taking the advice of 'experts' that may have no real-world knowledge or experience using the product in a normal home setting.

By Gaz Rendar
This Analon non-stick cooking set features impressively well-made kitchenware for an affordable price.I've been using this set for about a month now and would start by arguing this isn't a set for everyone. If you're a beginner cook, or a bachelor that rarely uses more than one pot or pan, then I'd still advise you to purchase a useable non-stick set in the $100 range. However, if you're looking to graduate from your first set of pots and pans to a "real" cookware set, I would highly suggest you consider this Analon collection.The individual pots and pans from this set all have a great heft to them. These aren't items from the cheap $100 sets. The metal has a somewhat smooth finish on the outside, but an unfinished, yet highly polished underside. The inside bottoms all have a unique non-stick coating that has a very fine texture. The non-stick coatings have worked like a charm so far, with the only exception being that it took some time to wash the edges of a skillet after some sauce had reduced down to a sticky film. Not unusual. They claim that you can use metal utensils on these surfaces and they will maintain their durability. I only spot-tested this with a metal spoon on occasion and did not actually try to assault my set with a metal fork. From what I can tell, it seems like one can indeed use metal on the inner surfaces, but I wouldn't risk regular metal use it if you can avoid it.The handles are outstanding. They all have a rubberized grip that is very comfortable to hold. In addition, each handle also has a loop at the end, which gives you the option to hang your pots and pans on a kitchen wall and is a welcome feature. Analon also claims that the set is safe in the oven up to 400 degrees. While I have not tested that extreme of temperature, I have cooked dinner in a skillet on the stove and then moved it into the oven at 225 to keep dinner warm until company arrived. There was no noticeable loss in durability.There is a complete set here, that's for sure. The somewhat amazing thing is the depth of each piece. This is great for cooking large meals, especially ones that encompass a sauce or broth. While this is an advantage for almost everything, I did find the impressive depth on the small saucepan to occasionally be an annoyance when trying to use a whisk. I was unable to angle the whisk enough for my liking due to the tall saucepan walls. However, this was the only--very specific--complaint that I had.If you are looking for a real cookware set, I would not hesitate to recommend this Analon collection. Sure, you pay more than the cheap $100 sets, but the quality here shows and at this normal Amazon price, it's an excellent value.
