Anolon Advanced Onyx Hard-Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set, 12-Piece, Black

The price was a deal at that time, but I was disappointed. The box came slightly damaged and the top was duct-taped (looked previously opened). There's no doubt the pans were unused, and they initially looked great. However, the lid wouldn't fit right on the large skillet (possibly damaged in shipping). Two other lids didn't fit perfectly, and definitely wouldn't create a good seal. The other lids and pots were fine. This is a beautiful set and looks high quality, but the non-fitting lids were unacceptable. I am a big fan of Analon products, but disappointed in this particular set.

The pots and pans exceed my expectation. They are so light compared to what I used before, I was concerned they would not suit our needs. I am pleased to say I was mistaken. The heat distribution is excellent. They are so easy to clean! The lids fit snugly. There is a good variety of pan sizes for our cooking needs. Because they are so new I do not know about long term durability. I would not hesitate to recommend these to someone looking for new pots and pans.

I have had this set for a month now and use it at least once a day. The pots are nice and deep and fit well on my gas stove top. I put one of the big pans in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes and it held up perfectly. I have hand washed all of them multiple times and they are easy to clean. I am not a big cook but this set seems very functional and I am happy with the selection of sizes they included. No complaints so far.

Not a non-stick pan! Very disappointed!

Best set I ever owned!! It is definitely worth the money!

It is true to its reviews and description.

This is a great, quality cookware set. I have never owned Anolon cookware before I received this set as a sample, and had only heard of the brand before. I knew Anolon was higher-end, and more expensive than the average sets, so I would not normally consider purchasing Anolon and was completely unaware of this set before. But after using it for only a short while, I can already tell that it is a great, quality set. It has a classic, sleek, black and stainless steel design. The cookware is much heavier than any cheaper cookware I have owned before, and may be too heavy for some people, but you can really feel the quality. It feels solid, well built. The handle grip is comfortable and grips well. The lids do not have a small vent hole, however, that hasn’t seemed to be a problem so far. I was really surprised at how quickly it boils water, and the non-stick surface seems to be great so far. I’ve cooked eggs without any oil/cooking spray, and the eggs slide right off. The set is hand-wash only- with warm, soapy water and a non-scratch sponge, but washes well. It would be nice if it was dishwasher safe, but I understand it’s need to be hand-washed. I was also surprised to find out that this set is oven-safe, and although I have not tried using this set in the oven, it sounds like a great benefit. With 12 pieces in this set, it has everything you would need for basic, everyday cooking needs. Based off my experience with using this set, I would absolutely recommend this set for anyone who is looking for a great, quality complete cookware set. Due to the higher price tag than what I’m used to paying for cookware, I would probably purchase a less expensive set. But if the cost wasn’t an issue, I would definitely purchase this set based off the quality compared to other sets I have owned. It feels like it would last a long time and be a really great investment.

Never got a chance to use them. Unpacked, put them on a flat surface and the large skillet rocked like a rocking chair.. Plus, the pan was "out of round" so the lid did not fit. Sent the whole set back. Waiting for a new one.
