I've been cooking with Anolon products for a very long time. Their titanium non stick line is my all time favorite but long gone. I just recently retired the 1 1/2 quart sauce pan that was my go to risotto cooker. I've also had to retire the 10 inch nouvelle copper skillet that I used extensively and delivered countless numbers of mains and sides. I care for my Anolon stuff well and only hand wash and never use metal utensils to cook. This leads to the purchase of the X line. I was intrigued and in need and now own the 8 and 10 inch skillets. I'm underwhelmed. The cross hatch of wires protrude the surface and frankly make the non stick properties worse and make cleaning more of a chore. Fritattas, omelets, and pilafs, and small burgers, stick to the wires and frankly don't deliver better searing than any of the other Anolon skillets I've owned, and limit the overall versatility of the product. I'm not terribly pleased but disappointed that the brand released an overhyped breakthrough that really doesn't deliver on the stove.

This hybrid non-stick is everything I've been searching for--finally! I have standard anolon non-stick pans, that I like but my main one didn't last past 1yr and can't handle high heat. The hybrid, however, seems like it will last much longer due to the material and works great on higher heat, with the aluminum bottom that seems to leave it very well protected from typical wear on the outside. The hybrid grid design works as advertised and so far has been easy to clean as well! This is the only hybrid NON-TOXIC pan that I've been able to find and is well worth the price! I've only had it for about 1 month now but have been able to cook numerous different foods, all without issues. It's great at quickly crisping up veggies, with very little oil, without getting obliterated with stuck on, burnt food - like cast iron. I can't recommend this enough and wish I had more!

I originally bought the saucier, having never used one before. Greatest thing since sliced bread. And it was on an incredible special as well so I was chuffed. Then this Saute and saucier came up as a twofer special so I jumped at it. The saucier is lighter than I imagined yet the Saute is slightly heavier. I have arthritis and have had surgeries on both hands but am able to handle these two easily enough. I tried cast iron cookware and just can’t handle it safely as it’s too heavy. I do appreciate I got very lucky to buy three absolutely brilliant pieces of cookware at an unbelievable price. I’m having a blast cooking up a storm, the husband thinks it’s great as well and I finally got the courage to try making risotto and the saucier is what makes it absolutely perfect. These pieces are fantastic. Highly recommend them.

This 8 3/4 pan is perfect for 2 ppl, heats evenly and food stays in middle of pan which is why I bought this pan. It behaves like cast iron minus the weight and need to season it. Cleaning is a breeze using dish washing liquid and a Scrub Buddy. I don't use the dishwasher to clean any of my pans. On to the non stick—isn't happening even with added fat/oil. The stainless steel mesh is a good idea but it feels raised in the pan when I use a silicone spatula. I would replace all my pans if it wasn't for this issue

I have used analon skillets next to my set of copper cookware for decades. Every few years I replace my analon skillets just because they get so much use. My copper cookware just get polished and they’re ready to go after all these years. Why the X surface? I cook everyday, I do not cook meat. The analon skillet is great as always. It’s a shame I could only get them with this fake X surface glued on the bottom. Please consider releasing a line without it.

I bought the 10" and the 8" combo frying pans a few weeks ago, it sears a ribeye steak nicely as well my burgers came out with crispy edges and deliciously juicy inside. But the reason I purchased the pans was to fry eggs in the morning for my 3 kids and myself. The downside is that the eggs got stuck on the bottom of the pan while fry them. You can't make over easy and if it's sunny side up eggs you will need to crisp the bottom in order to remove them. I don't mind crispy on the bottom of my eggs but if you need to flip the eggs over for over medium eggs then you will need to crisp them again to remove the egg without breaking apart. Very disappointed for the price. I'm looking to purchase a nonstick pan elsewhere just for eggs.

Your pan is perfect for searing, I did a steak. But, my bad, I was trying to replace a Meyer 9.5 in standard non-stick frying pan I damaged (also my bad). I'm working with this one, fish is a tough go and I think a fried egg will be really hard but I'll continue with pre-heating and a little extra oil to get it as non-stick as I can. Great for what is advertised.More

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this pot is so essential perfect product. Very clean and when I made a pasta sauce, with shrimp sauteing onions and garlic, which came out bursting with flavors. Just last night my husband made farfell pasta shells, called Sopa de pescado. Which has tons of shrimp, clams, and mussels. The flavors were delicious and savory. I love that this is saucier is just right size, depth and weight. Very easy to clean. The AnolonX is very easy to handle. I'm very excited with my pot.

The pots and pans brand are my favorite. I still have original pots and pans that were bought 30 years ago. Still using, but needed to replace some pieces. I like them, but they are a lot lighter weight. I need some more time cooking with them, but I’m sure I will be very happy with them.

Sadly. Someone scratched the surface in my favorite pan after 10yrs, and it’s not made any longer. Began searching for a replacement and found this gem! Same capacity, a bit different configuration, but does everything I want well… and there’s NOT going to be any scratches in this baby!

Nitride coating has great protection properties in terms of rust prevention and low friction. Glad to see a high tech industrial solution making it into everyday items. Support handle has some play in it out of the box, but doesn't impact function.More

Investigated a number of pans before deciding what to replace my trusty (but damaged) Calphalon pans with and decided on AnolonX. Love the even heating and the sear capabilities for protein, and they clean up easily, IF you follow the instructions!

Bought the Anolon X 2 pan set. Put through the paces and loving both. Hard sear meats and vegetables without high heat, AND non-stick easy to clean, fantastic. Pan broiled sirloin, Seared skirt steak for fajitas, seared chicken for salads, seared breakfast potatoes and onions. Outstanding pans. Expensive, maybe, but it doesn't cost, it pays. THANKS! Now what we need is an Anolon X flat, square, 11" griddle (note Not a ridged griddle pan but a flat single burner griddle).More

Just got my pan 117 August and so far I love it. It’s very tricky. You gotta follow the rules no spray oil or butter cooked eggs with a drop of olive oil came out perfect even cooked. Some scrapple came out perfect

After watching all the people on FB and Instagram, I decided to take the plunge. And OMG, I do not cook much, but at least once a week, I cook fresh skinless salmon and two or three times a week, I cook eggs. I could not believe, the salmon, first the color and the evenness. AND the taste. Amazing difference, and the eggs cooked perfectly and tasted great. I threw away the old 8 and 10 inch pans I had had for 10 years. \n\nGreat Product!!

I absolutely love my Anolon X cook set. The quality and performance have been fantastic. The nonstick surface works exactly as advertised—just be sure to follow the care instructions, and you won’t have any issues. Everything heats evenly, cleans up easily, and feels durable. I’d definitely recommend this set to my friends and family. If you’re looking for reliable cookware that makes cooking enjoyable, this is a great choice.More

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had a new set of pans in years, and these are GREAT! I used non stick before, but my how they have improved! I love the assorted sized, and the lids are a plus. I love how they are not too heavy. I have issues lifting some pans and these are no problem. As time goes on I'll be cooking more and more with this set! Scrambled eggs were a breeze in the smaller skillet.

Only used it a couple of times so far but it’s living up to its reputation and works great, Nothing sticks and oil stays in the middle of the pan which makes searing steaks an easy chore. More

the pan is well made but unless a good amount of oil or butter is used food sticks. That was a little dissapointing but now that I've adjusted my technique with this pan I'm OK with it.

Color even better in person. Pots are solid weight but not heavy where difficulty in lifting. Have not cooked in them as yet ao unable to comment on this feature unfortunately

I bought this pan 1 mo. ago, not expecting anything incredible. But I was so pleasantly surprised! Oil stays in the middle. Pan is thick enough to cook correctly, not to mention it is PERFECTLY FLAT ! I love the long handle and the well designed lid. Quality construction. Steak and fish cook so incredibly even, with the grill pattern. Why did I have to be 76 yrs old to discover the pan of my dreams?More

I replaced a set of Anolon Titanium (which I wished they still made) that I’ve had for 15 years. The new Anolon X is not as heavy duty but it is still good cookware. I been using it for a couple of weeks now and here are the takeaways:\nIt heats quickly and evenly\nHigh heat is not necessary \nThe nonstick surface works a little better with a little oil or butter\nLove the glass lids\nThumbs up!

Very nice looking but not really dark gray, more to the black. Only fault was the 3 pots have some packing marks on the outside. I hope they come off with use.
