Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Sauce Pan/Saucepan with Straining and Lid, 2 Quart, Brown

The previous pan coating had disintegrated, so I ordered a replacement, but now the entire coating inside the pan is flaking off into my food. This is the last brand I'll ever buy. Don't buy this brand; it's terrible, and you'll pay the price when your family eats the teflon coating. I paid a lot of money for this pan, and it isn't worth a penny. Please do not purchase this item; all of my other pans are the same, and the inside coating is peeling away. I would never advise anyone to purchase this product.

If you look closely enough at the photos, you can see how oddly proportioned this pot is. It's a lot bigger than it needs to be for its capacity. It's constructed in the style of a small stock pot with a single handle. It's difficult to do any hot work on the bottom before the water boils because of this. I like to make quick ramen in small batches, for example. Before adding the broth to simmer, I usually saute onions, mushrooms, and ginger for a few minutes. Because of the pot's small bottom and high walls, this would be a difficult task. br>The second issue is that the strainer top fits loosely, giving the impression that it is of poor quality. There may be a reason for this, but it lacks confidence and leaks when poured. br>I returned the pot after using it once. I'll keep looking for a replacement for my Calphalon, which is 20 years old.

It's something I use on a regular basis. I've been using this pan for a few years and I really like it. It's something I use all the time to make oatmeal and for re-hydrating. It can be used to heat leftovers instead of using the microwave, and it usually cleans up with just the sink sprayer, though it may require a brush or sponge on occasion. The surface appears to be hard and long-lasting. I have no problems using metal spoons in it (though I don't use metal for scraping or rough use). The lid is extremely well designed. I like that there's a built-in strainer and that I can control how much steam is released. The grip is good, and the handles are comfortable. br>br>There are no issues. It's almost flawless!.

You'll be happier with your purchase if you stay away from those sellers. This pot was a must-have for us. Yes, I pay a premium for Analon, but it provides me with the flexibility I require. There is no damage to the handles as it moves from the stovetop to the oven. I strongly suggest Analon to anyone who enjoys cooking and wants a high-quality set of cookware that will last a lifetime if properly cared for.

Around 20 years ago, I bought a starter set of Anolon. Over the years, we continued to add pieces until I had everything I needed. The original set lasted a long time, even through a cross-country move, and I put them to good use. Very durable and suitable for use in both the stove and the oven. Something went wrong with the bottom of one of the pans, scratching my new cooktop - As a result, a new set is required. This was an extra piece that was purchased to go with a new set that had been purchased. The handles on my previous set were made of metal - Rubber is used in this one. It still says they can go in the oven at 450 degrees (I believe). I haven't put the new set in the oven yet, but if the rubber handles cause any issues, I'll update my review. I was also relieved to see a sticker stating that they can be used with metal utensils. With my previous set, I had only used plastic. I'm also hesitant to use metal with the new, despite the fact that they say it's fine. That old set was taken care of by me - dishwasher is not available - utensils made of metal are not permitted - If you love them as much as I do (or if you don't, you won't be able I'm sure I'll look after them as well. Anolon is one of my favorite characters.

I purchased two of these pans to replace our standard saucepans, which are used on a daily basis in our home, and I am very pleased with them. They're very easy to use (they warm up quickly and are simple to clean). They're a little small for a gas stove with a "power" burner, and they're a little heavier than other pans on the market. These, however, are not deal breakers for me, and I am very pleased with our purchase. br>I don't usually leave reviews on housewares purchases, but the company from which I purchased these is a superior seller with excellent customer service; there was a delivery issue, which was resolved through the Amazon interface, where I had the option to email the seller. They responded quickly, worked out a problem that arose as a result of COVID, and resolved the problem in a matter of days. It was a nice change of pace, and I'll buy from them again. I would strongly suggest it.

Rather than using a stainless steel pot, I bought this to make poached eggs. It still sticks, but it's a little easier to get rid of. Sponges can't get rid of the last bits of egg white, but unlike stainless steel, I'm afraid to scrub this thing. If this worked out, I was considering getting the 5 quart saute, but I see you're not supposed to use much oil, so I'm not sure how much food will stick.

To fix it, I had to use a hammer to pound out the rim. The pot is also fairly top-heavy, making it prone to tipping. If you place it on a counter with any part of the bottom dangling over the edge, the weight of the handle will cause it to fall to the floor. as a result of which it is dented br>br>However, it appears to cook well, and the lid strainers make draining a breeze.
