This pan made me realize why. Others had never been flat or solid enough. This pan feels like it is made of stone. It is very heavy, very level and distributes heat incredibly evenly.

You drop an egg on this Griddle, it stays where it is put, rather than making a hiatus for the nearest warp or low spot.

If you have a level cooking surface, especially something like the glass cooking surface I have, this pan is awesome. In fact, every Anolon pan I have is.

I am still trying to figure out why folks waste their money on Calphalon when this product is so much cheaper and such high quality.

I've owned my set of Meyer pot and pans for over three years. They are by far the best set of cookware I've ever had. I highly recommend them.

Thanks for making a truly quality product.

I have brought Analon cookware. They quality is superb. The nonstick capabilities are superior. For the price this set is a steal. This set will last a long time. It compares very well to Calphalon products.

I have had the pleasure of pretending i knew how to cook for my new husband until i purchased this whole set of cookware. well, know i think i am 'chef boyardee' this cookware is very durable, allows you to cook your foods thoroughly, and helps you if you want to do it the 'atkins' way! The price is somewhat outrageous, but well worth it, and you dont spend your time trying to clean up either. After purchasing this set, i would recommend a cast iron dutch oven to complete your kitchen!

I love this pan. I've just started to enjoy cooking and purchased this pan to help with recipes that I have to double and triple to feed my growing family. The size is perfect for us. Clean up is a breeze. Cooks very evenly. Works well with my glass cooktop. I will be buying more Analon in the future. Be aware however that it is NOT 5 quarts as stated. It is actually 4.75 which is not a huge difference but it is also not what it is advertised to be.

This is the Cadillac of Saute Pans. It's heavy, easy to wash, non-stick, heats evenly, and is big enough to cook paella for 6. Beware though, a friend bought the same one from her Gold Box and it arrived with the lid missing.

I get this as a gift, and is very usefull. But I have found that is a lot more easy to use with chocolate than with cheese. However, is well stocked and very fun to use with friends.

We bought this set at Macy's because it was the only one available, and we absolutely LOVE it. It's easy to use and even easier to clean. The pot goes from the stove to the stand for ease of melting. Perfect gift for someone (or yourself). Cheese, oil and chocolate all melt well. I prefer the paste fuel that this one uses better than the liquid (transportable for those of you that do fondue parties at a friends house). We highly recommend!

I've own my set of Anolon Pro for several years now and am as happy today as the first time I used them. The non-stick is top-notch, the glass lids are great and the handles are easily the best I've used on any cookware set (by far better than even All-Clad's). They go from stovetop to oven without a problem and clean-up usually takes just a few swipes of soapy water.

In response to some of the negative reviews on this product, I'd say the following. The pans are made of anodized aluminum and, as with all such sets that I've ever owned or used, the exteriors (especially the bottoms) become discolored fairly quickly. It's never bothered me -- makes them look broken in. Also, minor scratches in any non-stick surface are unavoidable, but the test of quality is how the non-stick performs even when scratched. Scratches and all, the surface of my pans performs just as flawlessly as it did out of the box.

As for cooking with oil, I have an Anolon Pro wok (one of my favorite pans) and do high-heat stir-frying all the time with Canola oil and Canola blends -- never a problem. I've used Olive, Peanut, Sesame, Safflower and Peanut oils as well, and all work just fine.

I highly recommend this cookware. It's every bit the equal of (or better than) its more expensive counterparts (read Calphalon), and the 10-piece set is a great value.

We've had our Anolon Professional set for about a year now and our experience has been nothing except superb. The negative reviews here definitely surprised me.......

I'll start with the only drawback we've found thus far. As other reviews have noted, the outside does tend to discolor and has been scratched a bit by our iron burners. However, since we actually use our cookware to COOK rather than as status driven decorating accessories, this has not been a concern.

Other than this cosmetic fault, the cooking characteristics of the pans have proven to be excellent. Most importantly, not only is heating even throughout, heat is retained well too. The top notch non-stick surface does a fair job of browning food. It's also quite slippery yet supremely durable.

To be honest, despite using mostly nylon utensils we have not been careful with our pans yet they have risen to every challenge. To counter what some have said regarding their sets, our pans have helped prepare recipes using canola and olive oils at high temperatures many times and to date are without blemish or defect.

Additionally, we have also come to appreciate the steel handles that let us move food from the range to the oven as well as the heavy interchangable glass lids that allow easy monitoring of vegetables, rice and such.

Other than the aforementioned exterior blemishes (Mostly on the bottom I might add....), our set is in great condition. The handles are tight and shiny and the lids clear without a single scratch.

All things considered, this cookware has proven to be one of the best purchases we have made for our home and we would certainly buy them again. They offer solid quality, thoughtful features, fine performance and a wonderful value.

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.

This pan is very convenient with it non-stick feature and prevention of splattering. Now with this pan I am able to cook fried rice hassle free and meats and fish easily wihtout worrying that the hot oil may accidently splash or jump up. I recommend this pan to anyone is spends a lot of time in the kitchen for this pan is ideal for cooking any kind of food at all!

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 low heat, my particular skillet has only lead to frustration when attempting to remove 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 to me 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!
