Pan fried pork loin chops, saute vegies, made gravy all with just a teaspoon olive oil in one pan....back to back....fast! I was pleased as pie! Rinsed clean with soapy sponge in seconds. Feels like it will last for years...I hope so! I only wish they had a huge fry pan....15 or larger round, as I cook for a lot>
I’ve had this set for about a year, I like it a lot. It distributes the heat evenly on my cooktop and works well when put in the oven. I mostly like it because it can be scrubbed clean without damaging it. With a household of other people that also cooks, anything that needs up keep is near impossible. These pans clean up very nicely
I hardly ever write reviews but am so disappointed in this set. I was so excited to finally upgrade my cookware set, when a generous wedding guest purchased this set for us. These are so beautiful, and I was thrilled to cook with a copper-cored pan.
Unfortunately, they are absolutely impossible to clean. I have tried everything- dishwasher, soaking, scrubbing with several types of sponges, boiling a mixture of water and vinegar as the website suggests, etc, and nothing works, despite having only used each pan a handful of times. Food now sticks to the left behind gunk and burns/smokes making the pans essentially nonfunctional. My cheap college non-stick set actually cleaned and functioned better. The copper stripe also discolored/faded/scratched off after only one use.
There are so many other positive reviews, possibly I received a faulty set or did something wrong.... but am so disappointed and would not recommend this set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Dal! We're sorry to hear about your experience with your Anolon cookware. All food can stick to stainless steel product if proper cooking techniques are not followed. This is especially true with delicate foods like pancakes or eggs. For excellent cooking results, we suggest following these guidelines: Allow food to come to room temperature (10-15 minutes) before adding them to the pan. Placing chilled food in a heated pan causes sticking, even in stick-resistant pans. Preheat the pan on low to medium temperature setting. Do not preheat on high temperatures in order to heat the pan faster. A small amount of oil, butter or margarine is all you need for easy food release. Add oil or butter and allow it to heat one minute before adding food. Preheating brings the oil or butter to the right temperature so the food surface sears immediately. To remove stubborn stains or discoloration, use a stainless steel cleaner such as Bon Ami® Polishing Compound or Barkeepers Friend®. The cleaner should be rubbed on the stains with a non-abrasive pad, cloth, or sponge. Should you have any more questions, our Consumer Relations experts are certainly available to assist you at 800-388-3872, Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4pm PT (Pacific Time) excluding holidays. <dr>
I love my pans. I have not added alot of heat to it and it does change color and had already begin to get specks inside one of the pans but other than that I love them . Probably wouldn't buy expensive pots ever again because price is overrated.
I bought this cookware set about six weeks ago. I am very pleased that cooking is easy. I have no problems with cleaning the pots and pans. Sometimes the 8 inch pan will get a food stain, but it is easily cleaned with apple cider vinegar. The 1 1/4 quart pot and the 2 1/4 quart pot are used often, and the copper turns dark with darker spots on them.
I find that extra care is needed for the copper bands. Once a week I rub apple cider vinegar into the copper bands and vigorously rub the darker spots. This restores the glow and removes the dark spots.
I would recommend the Nouvelle Stainless Steel cookware set.
This is a good cookware set. The food stains from cooking come off with vinegar. The copper ring around the bottom of the pots becomes darker after cooking and it is necessary to rub it with vinegar to bring back the glow. This must be done on a regular basis after cooking.
I bought my set one month ago. My old set was 20 years old and since Covid we are back to cooking at home. They are a solid set. Things don’t stick. I choose to was bad hand instead of dishwasher because clean up is so easy. Glad I choose this set.
I purchased the 10 piece cookware set a month ago. The copper strips on the outside of the pans has turned colors. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
