5 comments about Anolon Titanium Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 10-Inch Open French Skillet.

1. A very good addition to the home supply of pans and skillets. There is a nice heft to the pan, it heats evenly (though, like most relatively heavy pans, it takes a while to get up to full temperature), and the cooking surface is non-stick, but without the ultra-slippery "plastic" feel that some non-stick pans have. Add to that the fact that it can go in the dishwasher, and it makes for a very good pan.



2. I have three sizes of these skillets. I love all of them. You cook without oil. The clean up is great. Every thing is cooked on med to low heat. They are wounderful. I would tell anyone to buy them.



3. We know have 2 10 inch Analon Titanium skillets. We like them all very much. We had some earlier analon skillets and they are very good, but the titanium series is better. An earlier Anolon skillet still is non-stick but is starting to lose something. The titanium does not seem to be losing it. Great skillets.



4. Heats super evenly, non-stick works fantastic, dishwasher safe as long as you use the right detergent. It doesn't get any better than that!



5. I first discovered Analon Titanium (restaurant tested) fry pans in Macy's. They only had an 8 inch model, which I purchased as it is perfect for making a personal omelet. They are heavy gauge aluminum clad in titanium on the bottom and have completely steel handles unlike the lower grade of Analon which look very similar but have silicone rubber handle grips. As such, the metal handles are much better for popping a meal into the oven after initially frying/browning it on the stove. The nonstick coating is very high grade as well.

1. It's a good product that matches the clad pot set I have. Awesome pot also, I think they may be discontinued and I don't know why! Great handles.

5 comments about Anolon Titanium Non Stick Dishwasher Safe 12-Inch Open Stir Fry Pan with Helper Handle.

1. I've had this cookware for about 4 years. It is not truly dishwasher safe. Over time the exterior has become quite dull and ugly. It seems to have faded in an inconsistent way. Even though this cookware has a "lifetime" warrantee, Anolon will not replace the cookware if it becomes damaged from being cleaned in the dishwasher.



2. I bought this pan because I needed a new wok. I'm normally not a big fan of non-stick pans because I cook a lot of Asian foods that normally require high temperatures. But after reading the reviews, I bought this pan to try it out. It has performed very well. I do have to spend a bit more time preheating the pan, but because of its heavy mass, once this pan is hot, it remains hot. Cooking Asian foods in it is a breeze. Though it doesn't provide the same flavor as a carbon-steel wok would, most of us, including myself, don't have the multi-burner gas stove to get a wok hot enough to get that Chinese restaurant flavor. This pan has become my everything pan, from breakfast to dinner, Chinese to Italian. Its ease of use and cleaning caused me to buy one for my sister.



3. One of the best I have ever used.
   Very easy to clean and not too heavy, compare to some of the other ones I had in the past. It is not light though, my wife does have trouble handle it using just one hand.
   NO lid.
   for the past month, I am truly happy with it. my sisiter has a similar one for about 2-3 years and it is still going strong.



4. Non stick, heat even. I love this product. The only concern is that it is a little bit too heavy for me.



5. I was actually very upset that I had purchased this pan instead of the 12" Fry Pan. I had trouble getting Amazon to exchange it for what I really wanted. Amazon wouldn't so I ended up purchasing the 12" Fry Pan separately. I love both pans. They are great. I never thought that I would be so pleased with cookware - I mean I rarely get excited about any "thing" - but I love Anolon. It is a little heavy, but it cooks things quickly, evenly, and with NO sticking. Then, the clean up is a swipe of a sponge. Wow.
   
   The Stir-Fry pan was actually great, by the by, it collects the water on the bottom-center for quick evaporation.

5 comments about Anolon Advanced 5-Inch Santoku with Hollow-Ground Blade.

1. I bought the two piece set (5" and 7"}. As a former culinary professional I prefer a heavier knife with a thick blade so I can feel the balance of the knife. These knives have a hefty blade and good balance. The handle shape is different from the commercial knives I own, but very comfortable. They keep a sharp enough edge with an occasional stoning and steeling. If I was to buy only one it would be the 7". I like the hollow ground blade style, food falls right off it when chopping and slicing. I use this knife as much as my forged chefs knife. The 5" is a great knife for a quick small chop, hand slicing stick pepperoni, hard salami etc. They also came with very functional, durable sheaths to protect the blades if you don,t keep them in a block.



2. Santoku knives are characterized by having a very thin blade. That's what makes them so good at cutting vegetables - you don't have to force a thick blade down into a hard carrot or parsnip. Unfortunately, the Anolon doesn't live up to the Santoku standard.
   
   This knife has a very wide blade, meaning a lot more chopping effort. It also holds its edge poorly (and was even dull when we first got it). Both my wife and I also find the grip very awkward. The size also limits its usefulness - for example, it's too small to chop onions.
   
   This usually just sits in our drawer as we use a higher-quality chef's knife. It's cheaper than other knives, but still not worth it. I'd rather pay more to get a quality knife, such as Cook's Illustrated's top recommendation, the MAC Santoku.



3. I got this knife mainly because I wanted a knife that would be more manageable than my 8" Chef's knife and I wanted to try a santoku knife also. I have not had it long enough to know how often it needs to be sharpened, but I would say that it cuts very well and smoothly. It is fantastic for small cuts of meat and all vegetables. The blade is a good thickness and does not bend. One of the reasons I went with this Anolon is that most other 5" santoku knives have really small handles. I have big hands, so a small handle is just as annoying to me as a dull blade. Obviously, this is not the best santoku knife on the market, but for the price I think it is well worth it.
   
   UPDATE: I have had this knife long enough now that I know that it was very sharp to begin with and lost a good deal of its sharpness over a few months, but with a sharpening rod it is good as new if not better. I'm not sure how long a decent blade should hold its edge, but with a fairly inexpensive sharpening rod/stone you can keep this one ready to slice through just about anything. On a side note, I think it's almost humorous that people review this as being "not the best"... well of course it's not! This isn't a $100+ Shun santoku, but it is a well-constructed knife for a decent price.



4. MY review is really about the whole line of knives.
   
   A five fixed blade is my choice for best all around knife for cutting in the kitchen (or camping). The first Anolon 5 inch was given to me as a gift from my wife. I have subsequently bought another five inch knife from the Anolon collection as well as their 7in and 8in knives. They are all great knves.
   
   I never respond to the the rating scale but this deserves it.



5. I have this knife only because I had a gift certificate. I wanted a Santoku knife, so I thought what the hay. Had I known how heavy it was, I would've picked another one. It's my fault for buying a knife w/o actually having it in my hands first.
   
   My complaint is just the weight, it's heavy. I also never quite like the rubber grip. But, this is relative to one's preference, I guess. I also have to sharpen this knife quite often.
   
   Just for a reference (why I think this knife feels heavy to me), I'm used to my wife's Global GS-5.
   
   Learn from me, don't buy a knife online before having it in your hands first.

   Let me add, sharpening this knife is a little tricky, because there's a lump at the heel of the knife. It prevents me from making one smooth sweep when sharpening, using a rod.

1. This is a decent knife for the lower end of the market. However, I felt the blade was a little thick and the knife a bit heavy (I know that's a plus for some people but not for me).



2. I purchased this knife 2 months ago on sale for about $25 at bed bath & beyond. The knife has great balance, can be sharpened to razor sharpness, and holds an edge well. The metal has a glassy polish finish that prevents food from sticking to the knife. The only problem with this knife is that it is thicker than your normal santoku knife. Usually, the more expensive santoku knives will indicate "thick blade" or something of that sort.
   
   So if you don't mind the thicker blade, this knife is really a good piece of cutlery.



3. This knife met all my expectations, it's sharp and cuts anything well, even tomatoes (and my fingers). It's a good value at under $40.



4. I have one knife in my kitchen, and this is it. Granted, because I live in NYC, I rarely cook. However, whatever I need it for this knife easily accomplishes, and it's better alone than any set of knives I've bought in the past. For the price, it's a steal.



5. I purchased two of these knives for my sons for Christmas. They both love them and tell me that they are razor sharp and very well balanced. They are a pleasure to use.

1. Anolon knows how to make it right...........only caution I have is it is a heavy well made product you will use two hands when it is filled.



2. The Anolon 2-quart covered saucepan is great. I love the rubber handle on the saucepan and on the top. It keeps each from getting really hot. I also love the glass top. It enables you to see the sauces, soups, rice, etc. as they are cooking. The product itself was sent quickly.



3. My wife and I received the pans in this set for our wedding over 3 years ago. They have been excellent despite very heavy use from us. The non-stick still doesn't stick and there is almost no discoloration. They are very easy to clean because the entire pan is non-stick, not just the inside. The silicon on the handle does an excellent job of protecting your hand from being burnt even at high temperatures.
   
   The only problem we've had is that on a few of the pans the silicon part of the handle came loose. I submitted a request to their customer service department on the web and had brand new pans within a week at no cost to me.

1. Analon makes very nice knives. This is no exception. The blade nicely finished and keeps an edge. The handles are very comfortable, especially for a large hand. I find the knives to be well balanced. THe plastic, snap on blade cover is a nice touch. This knife, and Analon knives in general, are a good value.



2. I just bought my first Analon knife. I've always used Henkle Four-Star Products, but the length of this knife was just what I wanted, so figured I couldn't go too wrong given the price. Great suprise when I opened the box. This knife is built like a tank! Heavy weight, well balanced, and comes with one of the niftiest protective covers that the blade slides into and then locks. But I bought this to cut bread. And it is smooth, sharp, and perfect for the task. Wish I had found out about this beauty before I bought some of my other cooking knives!
