Anolon Advanced Bronze Collection Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Inch and 12-Inch Open Skillets Twin Pack Review

I've been unhappy with the performance of any number of nonstick frying pans with my glass top electric stove. It seemed whatever brand from cheapest up to expensive, all of them would warp concave at higher heat levels to where only the very center would have limited contact with the stove. I'd been searching for a THICK pan that would hopefully resist this effect, but almost everything, regardless of price, appears to be the same (thin) thickness.
So last week I'm browsing through the mall and saw this pan set and was amazed at the thickness. It looked twice as thick as everything else and had a substantial weight difference as well. Mall price was over twice what Amazon was selling them for so I just came right home and ordered this set along with the 8 inch single to round out the collection.
What a disapointment when these arrive and are just the same thickness and weight as everything else. Was I crazy and misremembering what I'd seen at the mall? No, because the 8 inch pan that also arrived was the thick version! Looks like Analon decided to cut costs somewhere along the line. A quick google search and I confirmed I'm not the only one to experience this. Too bad I'd torn the packaging off before I noticed otherwise I'd be returning them. I don't feel right giving it one star since $50 for a nice set of thin nonstick pans is not a terrible deal, but I'm not happy with the bait and switch Analon pulled.

Anolon Advanced Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 10-Piece Cookware Set Review

I have had this set now for 2 years. I cook with them every day and there are virtually no scratches. I have a gas stove and they cook evenly and are very durable. I love the size of these pans. They are a bit heavy but I work around that. I have only used plastic or wooden utensils and I do wash them by hand. They are very easy clean up, if you wash right after use it makes it that much easier but if you don't wash right after use, a little hot water and some soap will clean them right out.
I was very iffy and did a lot of research before I spent this kind of money on a set of pots and pans. I wanted to be sure I would get a set that lasted. I have to say that after 2 years they are still like new. I love to cook in them each time it's like having a new set everyday. I hardly use any oil just a little bit of spray and we are ready to go. I have a family of 5 and do a lot of cooking and not having to worry about things sticking or burning is a huge deal. I am always trying to cook and do other things at the same time and I can't stand over the stove.
I strongly suggest this set. I can't say enough about it. 2 years with no scratches, amazing....

Anolon Advanced 12-Inch Shallow Round Grill Pan Review

Anolon 'Advanced' is the much higher quality, and, for some quirky reason, is priced $15 less than the Calphalon! I pan-grilled some filet mignon steaks (am savoring them now) and was impressed at the signature 'sear marks'. Cleanup is a breeze and reviewers should note that the Anolon 'Advanced' line has not been plagued with the shedding of the non-stick coating (as both the 'Commercial' and 'Simply Calphalon' lines have been).
This will not take the place of an outdoor grill, but it does bring a taste of summer into the cold winter months. 'Cook's Illustrated' also gave the Anolon 'Advanced' 12" Deep Covered Grill Pan high marks, but this shallower, non-covered grill pan is $25 less and besides, who covers a grill pan when it is grilling anyway?
PS: I'm glad I 'recycled' my 10+ pound Lodge, cast-iron grill to my weight-lifting son for Christmas! :o)

The ridges raise food so fats drip down and away from the food allowing for low fat grilling. A channel around the edge of the pan collects cooked-off fat. Great for grilling meats, fish, vegetables or sandwiches. Extra thick, heavy gauge, hard-anodized a
