Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Rachael Ray 8-Quart Covered Oval Pasta Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. I watched her show occasionally and I like her and some of her ideas although I am not a devoted follower.
I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. I have stainless steel cookware and compared to my stainless steel pots this is functional and easy to clean. The oval shape is easier to handle compared to a big round tall pot, the dome shaped lid allows more cooking flexibility, it conducts heat well and Anolon makes quality cookware. I also purchased the 5-quart Oval Saute pan and the lids are inter-changeable. This is great for the times you don't need a lid that is domed and taller, has a vent, and you need to see the dish you are cooking.
I like the looks of this line better than her other line with the safety orange handles. That line has the same pot with a flatter glass top with no vent and it is called an 8-quart oval stock pot.
I watched the price for a while before I made a purchase. The price on this pot went up and down; as high as $99.00 and as low as $66.88. A friend who is a longtime Amazon shopper suggested putting it in my cart and waiting until it hit a good price to purchase it I did, I got it at a good price and I am happy.
So this is a great pot heavy duty and cleans easy. If you are a Rachel Ray fan but not into her line of pots with handles the same color of orange construction cones this is a great choice.

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 12-Inch Shallow Round Grill Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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)

Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Ultimate Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great piece of equipment for many cooking tasks; don't let the "stir-fry" moniker limit your uses of it. In fact, because of its large flat bottom, it doesn't quite work as well for stir-frying as a traditionally shaped wok, and the nonstick coating, while durable, means you have to be a little bit too careful when moving food around -- a true stir-fry should be stirred with abandon. But this large pan is good for all kinds of sauteeing, and because of the high sides its capacity is tremendous. Combined with the tight-fitting glass lid, one of the best uses of this pan is to make risotto for a huge crowd; it's also really nice for tossing almost-cooked pasta into a hot sauce.
A few minor notes: be aware that the pan is really very large, and quite heavy, and because of this it takes a long while to heat up. It can be hard to lift when full of food. You probably wouldn't want to use this for a side dish, to whip up a little sauce on the side, or to cook for one or two people. It can block nearby burners on a small stove. The silicon-covered handles are oven-safe to a degree, but they're not magic; coming out of a hot oven they will be painfully hot to the touch.

Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick 18-by-10-Inch Double Burner Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's so nice when a simple cooking device is done well. The heating is uniform, the pan is light (read: easy to hold while rinsing) but lies very flat (no runoff of liquids), and nothing sticks (we add butter for the flavor). I like the feel of the soft grip handles but it does get too warm to handle because our gas rangetop shoots heat across and around the edges of the griddle. It was a great way to get my husband to cook for me since there is next to no cleanup involved for his quesadillas and eggs. Lots of space for bacon too although the low rim will permit more splatter than a deeper pan. Enjoy!

Dupont Autograph 2 has been restaurant tested by professional chefs and has been found to surpass standard non-stick coatings both in performance and durability. This cookware is coated inside and out with Autograph 2 which makes cooking without added fat very easy, and which also makes cleaning up a snap. The handles are comfortable and securely riveted. You'll be able to cook a big family breakfast, or grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch on this griddle which spreads out across two burners to maximize cooking surface.

Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard Anodized Eco-Friendly Nonstick 10-by-18-Inch Double-Burner Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This griddle is exactly what I was looking for - it heats evenly, it's lightweight, it fits exactly over two burners, and it's got a cutout on one corner to pour out the grease. The ceramic cooking surface is very non-stick and stays that way over time. Do not use non-stick sprays (not that you need them), as they will leave a residue over time that's impossible to clean up. Using only a small amount of butter or oil, all of my Green Gourmet pans are as clean and non-stick as they were when I bought them. Cuisinart says they're dishwasher safe, but I've never seen the need to do so; they've never needed more than a few wipes with a soapy sponge to get completely clean.

Designed to fit over two burners on the stove top, this 10-by-18-inch griddle looks a bit like a cookie sheet with handles, but it offers a wide range of stovetop cooking options. Its smooth, flat surface nicely accommodates anything from pancakes, eggs, and hash browns to salmon fillets, falafel patties, veggie shish-kabobs, and more.
Cuisinart's GreenGourmet Hard Anodized line of cookware combines an earth-friendly design with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance with reduced impact on the environment. The cookware's hard-anodized aluminum construction heats up quickly and evenly, which means less energy required to achieve the desired cooking temperature, and its exclusive, scratch-resistant, ceramic-based nonstick coating (PTFE/PFOA-free and petroleum-free) helps reduce oil consumption and preserve the environment--plus it's applied at a temperature one half that of conventional nonsticks, and it won't peel off. Furthermore, its nonstick cooking surface ensures effortless food release without the need for excess butter or oil, which means lower fat cooking options and quick cleanup. The cookware's riveted side handles stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are made from 70-percent recycled stainless steel. Even more, Cuisinart uses packaging made from 100-percent recycled materials and printed with soy ink. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F and safe to use under the broiler, the cookware cleans up easily by hand and carries a limited lifetime warranty. From the Manufacturer
