Anolon is very nice cookware. I have only one 8" pan but I like it very much. It is more non stick than my Calphalon non stick and is generally less expensive. Very good idea to get a 12" pan in Anolon, check Amazon, they had one on special a few weeks ago.

It's pretty good. I have a whole set that I bought on sale maybe 5 or 7 years ago. Some of the pieces are now starting to lose some of their finish and I'm replacing it with Calphalon. The one I HATE is Circulon--those darn ridges are not nice to clean! But if you have a free pan, you've got a bargain,enjoy!

Anolon is manufactured by Meyer Corporation. They also manufacture other brands like Circulon, Kitchen Aid, Farberware and Silver Stone.

FWIW. I have a complete set of the Anolon Titanium and am quite pleased with it...

Thank you everyone for your input. I'll definitely be ordering a 12" skillet. I really like the handles on the Anolon Classic line. They're easy to grip. I don't put my skillets in the oven to bake very often so I'm not worried about melting them.

I have a lot of Meyer anolon cookware. My favorite pan used to be the chef's pan. After a few years of use the non-stick failed and food started to stick and burn. Meyer refused to replace it saying that burnt on food showed i had overheated it and they also claimed i had used sharp implements - both completely untrue. When i appealed they called me a liar.

Don't buy them if you intend heay use as they don't last and they won't honour the guarantee!
