AnolonNouvelle Stainless Steel Cookware Pots and Pans Set, 10 Piece

These beautiful and well made pots and pans work seamlessly with out induction cooktop. We are just getting used to the speed in which they cook.

These seem to be high quality cookware. I haven't had any separation issues as mentioned by others and a frightening possibility at this price point! I bought these because I needed new thick base cookware as my ex kept my Le Cruset. Not as easy to clean as the enamel wear but with butter or spray oil and immediate cleanup afterwards I have had few issues. I use baking soda as my scrubbing additive -HINT, HINT - it doesn't scratch surfaces and helps food and stains release easily. For those who complain about the copper changing color... what do you expect from actual copper. My revere ware has grey spots on it too but they are great for boiling water aì of pasta etc these are NOT intended for high heat as used to boil water. They are to distribute and hold the temperature you need for cooking foods evenly and deeply vs flash in the pan Batchelor style cooking. That's why they like grilling! LOL Oh, well you can't teach all of us guys how to cook correctly, nor a lot of young ladies either.

I've had these 2 pans for only 3 weeks now and have used each pan about 3-4 times each week. They still look exactly like the pics on and Amazon website, beautiful, sparkling, new and shiny (thats why I did not include a pic). They cook beautifully and nothing seems to stick to them. I preheat them on medium heat before adding items I want to saute' (onions, other veggies, meats, etc.) and if it does stick slightly, when de-glazing the pan w/ liquid (water, broth, wine) the wonderfully tasteful bits that stuck come right off and flavor the dish I am preparing. My only negative is: I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED THESE YEARS AGO !!! (if they had only been available back then!). DON'T WAIT! REPLACE YOUR OLD NON-STICK PANS WITH THESE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!I have had a new gas cooktop installed (replacing very old gas cooktop) which is an upgrade, similar to a professional gas range. This was done just a few weeks before getting these new Analon pans. The new cooktop has 5 burners one of which is a giant very hot burner, one large burner, 2 medium burners and one very small burner. All of these burners cook hotter than my generic sized OLD cooktop so the learning curve of this new cooktop with my old cookware was taking some time. When these new Analon pans came I was afraid that the combined learning curve of both the new pans and the new cooktop would be more than double the difficulty in time needed to be able to cook w/o burning meals. NOT SO!!! THESE NEW PANS HAVE MADE THE TRANSITION TO MY NEW COOKTOP A WALK IN THE PARK!!!THANKS ANALON AND THANKS AMAZON! LOVE THESE PANS!!!

Good build quality. Very heavy - I list that as quality as the pan distributes heat evenly throughout.The handle definitely needs to be a larger diameter, triangular in shape, with a rubber grip. If you are lifting a pan full of sauce, this pan may tip on you. A lift point or handle on the far side of the handle would be helpful.Today I made pancakes from scratch for the first time. I turned the heat up to what I used to use with my non-stick pan. Turns out this pan is VERY efficient at moving heat from the stove to the food - I wound up filling my house with smoke from the oil and burned a heavy layer of yellow varnish onto the pan. This is entirely my own fault - I just didn't know how good the pan is. Hopefully I save someone else some grief.I saw another review that said the pan is less than 12". This is not correct - the pan is 12" at the top.

I waited to leave a review for these pots and pans... so I could thoroughly test them out. Reading all of the previous reviews, I was very skeptical to buy them.... "everything sticks", "food sticks on all the time", etc.... I will say, yes, sometimes food will stick to these pots and pans, however, I have never owned a pot or pan that was easier to clean. I just rinse/ soak the pan for 5 minutes (normally less time than that), and the burned on food simply wipes away. Wonderful!!! My previous pot and pan set, teflon coated aluminum, had some kind of concentric ring pattern inside the pan, and food would always burn and stick on there. It was even more difficult to clean. Also, these pots and pans are perfect for the dishwasher too! My previous pots and pans had hollow handles that weren't completely sealed to the pan, so if not positioned correctly in the dishwasher, it would fill up with dirty dishwater. So annoying, un-sanitary, gross, and frustrating. No such problem with these. Solid handles, no where for water to gather. Perfect. One thing I did notice while trying to boil water in the large stock pot.... it seemed to take forever without the lid on. I think because I was used to the thin aluminum pots and pans, heat transferred more quickly, thus heating the water faster. So, keep that in mind when trying to boil water with these.... use the lid, and give it a little extra time. I would say only one downside of this set is the shape of the pots and pans. They have a tapered shape, so the base is smaller than the rim....which doesn't leave a lot of surface area contact to the burner on the stove. Hindsight, I might have looked for this exact set of pots and pans, only in a straight non-tapered design. Other than that, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Wonderful set!!
