Anolon 30822 Triply Clad Stainless Steel Cookware Pots and Pans Set, 12 Piece

These are my very first set of stainless steel pans and I am beyond happy with the purchase. They look great, the heat distribution is great and I haven't used any other pots in the three or so weeks I've had these. I've had no issues with cleaning or any stains and I cooked Jamaican curry goat in the large pot. HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH BURNS AND STAINS. I did a bit or research when i first decided i wanted to buy a set and found these to be a good beginner set. I plan on upgrading in the future. If they were a let down, I would have kiboshed the upgrading goal. I heat the pan using medium low heat first, then add oil or butter (whatever is required), then I add meat, chicken or fish and go from there. If searing, frying, stewing, no matter what I control the stove temp and so far no burnt pans and no stains. They're really great. Delivery was on time as per. One isue would be that the large sections of the box was wrapped in black plastic to hide the contents however the short sides of the box was not wrapped and the sides reveal all the contents. Why wrap only part of the box? Other than that 5 stars for the pots. Will get a more cheffy set in a couple years. Upward and onward

Excellent quality for the price. Handles are rivited and designed for comfort. The walls of the pots are thick and well designed for consistent heat distribution. Pots wash well and look great with their shiny finish. I have other more costly name brand sets in my collection and this set is as comparable (if not better) yet comes in a a third of the price of other high end sets.This set would have been perfect if it just included a steamer insert for one of the larger stock pots, however, this can be ordered separately from the manufacturer.These pots will last you a lifetime and you'll be leaving them in your will!

I am so disappointed in this set of pots and pans and I was so excited about them. Everything I have cooked in them has made the pans burn and are impossible to clean. This is the first time I used this pan and I used a bunch of olive oil and just sautéed some onions in it. Now I’ll be spending the whole evening cleaning and I’m sure it won’t look new again.

While these pans are beautiful and likely to last the rest of my life, they are a bear to clean. After boiling water for iced tea, little white dots were left in the pan, even after cleaning with a mild detergent after boiling the water as instructed. Then after scrambling eggs, there was massive scrubbing needed with the mild detergent and that didn't even come close to cleaning the pan. There was still a film on the bottom of the pan. I looked at the cleaning instructions again and it said to use a mild vinegar and water solution to further clean for these types of issues. I did that and the pans did get clean. I really didn't sign up to have to invest in vinegar and the time it's going to take to clean every pan like this, evidently every time I use them, but I guess I did and just didn't know it. If it wouldn't be a huge deal to return them, as I have already disposed of the cardboard box and packing materials, I would return them.

By far the best cookware I have ever owned. Slight learning curve coming from non stick to this but I have yet to find anything that doesn't cook easily and perfectly in these. A little non stick spray or oil and everything slides right out. From fried eggs to seared steaks. I have since added a few more pieces from this line to my collection.
