Cookware Reviews

I bought this set for my wife in January of 2004. It was birthday present and she had wanted a nice set of pans for a while. I find myself using it more than her. We love it. Cooking is fun again. The aluminum heats quick and evenly and cleans in a jiffy. They look great as well. We are in the process of redoing our kitchen and I am going to put in a pot rock so wcan show this set off. I think anyone who buys this set will love it.

I have spent thousands of dollar's, On Meyers cookware everthing from KitchenAid, Anolon, Prestige, Faberware, & Circulan, just to name a few. Though Meyers does manufacture very high quality pots & pans and I would recommend them to anyone it's just sad that if you have any problem with them, under warranty, you have to go throught the chain of command, that never gets you anywhere, even if you want to speak with upper management about the rudeness of the customer service department. Their customer service department employees are always very rude and snotty and they act like they are doing you a favor to even talk to you about their products. Don't get me wrong they do make good cookware, probably the best, but you as the consumer are at the mercy of their customer service and their descision or your fait on wheather your life time warranty is honored or not.

I am thoroughly impressed with this cookware set. Each piece heats evenly and cleans up like a dream. The clear lids allow me to check boil rate without lifting. The handles do really stay cool, even when I'm cooking over high heat.

The sizes of the pots and skillets are great. I seem to have the right size pot for whatever cooking need I have.

Analon is one of the hardest to find, but the "best to use" cookware around. I have owned my analon cookware for nearly 8 years. I take good care of my pots and pans and don't use metal spoons or utensils. The coating in my pans has never worn off. I continue to buy more of their cookware and higly recommend the professional line due to the ability to put them in the oven, because of their metal handle.

I work professionaly in the Food & Beverage sector. I am used to professional quality products at work and like the same at home.

Anolon Professional cooks evenly and is a breeze to clean. With this most recent purchase, I now have over 30 pieces.

It is not dishwasher safe, but do not let that be a deterent. The pots and pans clean up with soap and warm water . . . no elbow grease is needed.

I got mine on a Friday sale for fifteen bucks with free super saver shipping..but even at today's $19.99 price this is an absolute steel for a marvelous dutch oven type pan. No, this isn't QUITE as heavy a guage as Calphalon, but for twenty bucks it's exceptionally well made and worth WAAAY more. And it has a non stick coating, so for braising roasts or stew meat etc. it deglazes and cleans easily. And the high domed glass lid makes this perfect for stewing a chicken or other tall items.

The included lid alone would easily sell for fifteen bucks on its own. And if you've already bought the Analon deep sided everything pan (which comes without a lid, THIS lid fits that pan as well. And if you DON'T already have the deep sided skillet.. GET one. Between these two pieces you'd have a well equipped range and likely not need any other large pots n pans.

Wow! This is an amazing pan! I can't believe the Amazon price! I wish I had purchased the remaining stock when I had the chance! They would have definitely made great Christmas presents for next year. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy my excellent find. :)

I recently purchased the Professional Deep 12" Skillet to replace an existing set of T-Fal pans that I owned and I was very pleased with the qaility of this pan. So much that I threw all my T-Fals in the garbage. The only problem with the pan was that it had no lid, I didn't need it for the splatter, because this pan is deep enough that I get no mess on my stove top, but I needed one for certain recipes that I cook. So I decided to buy the 7 1/2 Quart everything pan, in hope that the lid would also fit my skillet. To my joy it did, even after reading one bad review that the pan was flimsy and the lid didn't seal, I found that to be wrong. It's Perfect!
It's low and wide, so it cooks a little bit faster than my other stock pots. Great job Meyer Corp. I look forward to years of cooking enjoyment with these pans.

I have been a loyal customer of Meyer and Anolon products for years but this particular Anolon open French skillet was a huge disappointment! Though it appears to be well made, food sticks to this skillet like super-glue. Despite using butter or olive oil or despite using lower heat as recommended, my particular skillet has only lead to frustration when attempting to remove the food from the surface after cooking. I was so certain I received a defective skillet that I mailed it to Anolon for inspection/replacement. My skillet was returned with Anolon stating that upon careful inspection there was "no defect" in the skillet. It has become apparent to me that my "stick" skillet is the norm for this product. Pass on this one, you'll be in for a big disappointment. You'll spend more time cleaning it than cooking with it!

This pan is purfect for our needs, great pan, easy to use, I am glad that I bought it, Very good for the price. cooks eyes with out sticking, you can also grill cheese sandwiches. It is just a very good pan over all, I can not think of anything negative about this pan.

This is a great pan. I got one Christmas 2001, and bought one for my son, daughter, folks, and Aunt Christmas 2002. It is just perfect for breakfast eggs, bacon, etc, plus cooking any small/medium portion of anything. This is the 5th Anolon Professional I have ...they are flat out the best pans I have found. I cook a LOT, and have tried a lot of pans, these are terrific, and reasonably priced. ...Amazing.
They also look very good hanging, the handles are beautiful, and never get hot. Two thumbs up!!!!

I have several Anolon Professional pans and skillets. The finish is superb and outlasts any other non-stick I have tried. The problem with this offering is that KitchenEtc. has incorrectly listed the pan as having a 3 quart capacity when it actually is a 2-3/4 quart pan. The diameter is also only 10 inches. I needed a larger capacity pan and am having to return the item for a refund due to the listing error. KitchenEtc. needs to correct its description of this pan. Also, the item arrived without a packing slip or return label. I had to place a call to customer service as a result. I believe the vendor will make good on this, but it has been a hassle, and I still don't have the pan I need.
