Customer Review: A great choice!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I like to both cook and eat, I appreciate/want good cookware. I wanted a simple set to start with under $200 that I could build up with items I would use. I definately wanted the hard-anodized for the even cooking surface as I prefer to cook at medium heat and also the ease of cleaning. I looked at mainly Anolon and Calphalon as they have very similar sets and ratings and even a similar look. After talking with friends I know that have the Calphalon and reading reviews, it seemed more people had problems with the surface of the Calphalon after a period of time. Three friends have had the Anolon many years, one began his set in the 90's and still gets constant use!!
I have no long term experience yet but can share my use of these to date. I have used the skillets for eggs, saute, braising and frying and have to admit to being self satisfied with the results as even the eggs come out evenly cooked. I love the 6" skillet for eggs and veggies. The sauce pans are slow to start yet easy to keep an even temp throughout cooking. I have used the stockpot for boiling potatoes, homemade soups and sauces. Again for me this is just the right size, weight and balance when you have to pick it up filled with liquids.
The cookware is well balanced without being overly heavy even with my arthritis. The handles are one of my favorite parts, nice lengths - very comfortable and easy to grip if you have to hold while while mixing. The rubber works very well at holding off the heat. I love having glass tops and these are well constructed and also nicely balanced. They have a heft to them that I like and they fit just right on both the skillets and pans. Since it is a newer set the clean up is very easy and since there is so much information on the interent one should be able to keep the coating in good condition with just a few extra steps.
I have already added my first addition in a grill pan and plan on making this "my" set as I go along adding only what I know I will use. This set is a great price for such an outstanding product and just the right amount of items to start off with. I would recommend this to family and friends!

The grips are deep, narrow, and shaped ergonomically, permitting pans to be used comfortably despite their weight. Break-resistant, domed glass lids permit cooking to be monitored without releasing heat and are oven-safe to 375 degrees F. The cookware's charcoal gray, nonstick exterior has an attractive enamel-like appearance.
