Product Overviews

This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a saute pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sautéing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.

Anolon Allure 10-Piece Cookware Set Reviews By Customers

I ordered these pans 1 year ago, and used them for the first 6 months no problem. Cooks evenly, cleans easily (literally just rinsed the residue off in the sink). It still looked like new. Earlier this year I got lazy and careless:

Not Dishwasher Safe - I've been running cycles through the dishwasher, with mild detergent. However, the pans have entirely lost the outside color/coating, and are now a faded grey.

Interior is Not Scratch Resistant - Do not use steel wool to wash the inside, the first time I used them the scratches were probably so minor I couldn't see them. But as time wears on the tiny scratches begin to chip into larger ones, eventually the entire layer falls off.

High quality Teflon is still Teflon. Treat it like delicate glass, hand-wash with soft sponges, and the set will probably last you a lifetime. Otherwise you'll be needing a new set in a year.

Great Pans - Kam -
I have previously owned individual pieces of Analon and a single pan from Analon Allure line. I love that pan. I picked these up for around .00 on a two day sale and I could not be happier. These pans look great, cook great and heat up evenly. Cleaning is a breeze. I also love the handles that do not get hot. Oven cooking is a snap also. By far, one of the best deals I've ever gotten.

Like others here, I purchased this set for less than 0 on a gold-box special, and I've been very happy with it. I've been using the pans regularly for about 8 months now, and they show no sign of wear at all. The non-stick coating is hold up very nicely, and is super easy to clean (literally, a quick wipe with a sponge under running water will do it).

I use mostly the skillet and the two smaller saucepans, since I'm usually cooking just for myself, so those three pans get the most use. Looking at them with the other pans that barely get used at all, there's no observable difference: no scratches, no "dings," no difference in the non-stick coating, nothing. I tend to be pretty careful with them, but I wouldn't say I "pamper" them. They are, after all, pans, and they do get used.

I'm watching for more sales so I can add to my set. Very good quality and highly recommended.
