Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Anolon Advanced Clad 12-Piece Set
Customer Review: Functional, stylish cookware that's affordable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally had a more expensive set of Calphalon that I just never got on well with. The hard anodized finish could not be put in a dishwasher and was prone to scuffs and scratches (see my review of the Calphalon One set). Great cookware, but a headache to clean and care for. After looking at nearly a dozen different sets here on Amazon, I chose this one by Anolon.
This cookware appears well-made and cleans up easily. The silicone/rubber handles are the most comfortable I ever encountered on pots and pans. Each piece in this set is built like a tank. I honestly believe these pans could take a bullet and keep on cooking. The downside? Tanks are heavy, and so is this cookware. But you get what you pay for. You could buy a much cheaper, lighter all-aluminum set that will be warped/worn out and look like crap in a year or two, or go ahead and make an investment that will last for a generation or more. Best of all, this set of Anolon is dishwasher-safe. That cuts your clean-up time considerably.
Yes, there are better sets available, but not for this price. If you really, REALLY do a lot of cooking ( or own a restaurant), go ahead and invest in one of the more expensive sets. But for a great, durable, all-around set of everyday-use cookware, Anolon Advanced Clad should fit the bill nicely. Price-wise, Anolon fills a void between the cheaper sets by Farberware, Circulon and others, but still less than the high-dollar sets by Calphalon and All-Clad.
