Summary: Anolon warranty - tried it, great
Comment: I have the stir fry pan from this set, bought as an open stock item. After about 1-1/2 year of heavy use, the nonsticking surface is damaged. You may see other reviews about this issue, but I have not seen any nonsticking pan that will last over 2 years.
Anyway, I packed the pan and sent to Anolon warranty service, together with a note about the problem. The original receipt was long gone so I did not include it. A couple weeks later a brand new replacement arrived at my home. Anolon really stands behind their warranty.

Summary: Great pans!
Comment: I have had this set of pans for three years now and have been very happy with them. I use my pans on a daily basis and am pleased that they have kept really well.
They are very easy to clean and care for. As care instructions recommend for any non-stick cookware, you must keep metallic utensils well away from them. I have not had any problems with the surface coating degrading other than normal wear and tear that is expected with use. I have notice that there are a few shallow scratches, but I suspect that is due my naughty roommate!
A long time ago, I read a review for these pans in which the user wrote that once you make a scratch, the coating around it will get worst and worst. I have kept my eye for that, and I have not noticed that for my pans.
The one point that I would like to make however, and I suspect other have also noticed it, is that the lid handles do get really, really hot when you are using it to cover the pan whilst cooking. I don't know if other pan sets deal with this problem a lot better than this set. But the pan handles themselves manage heat transfer perfectly. Also, heat transfer of the pans for even cooking is great.
I will be continuing to use my set for at least another few years, so I would fully recommend any enthusiastic cook to grab these pans. The pricing is also a bargain for the quality of these pans. Happy cooking!!

Summary: Great Set
Comment: Definitely a good purchase. I bought this set about 4 months ago and they have been perfect! They still look brand new. Yes they are heavy, but that's a plus, they are thick and distribute heat very well.
Eggs cook well on the non-stick.
The strainer is awesome to steam artichokes in the large pot.
The saucer is perfect for even cooking veggies you would cook in a wok.
This is a very versatile set.

Summary: Awsome!
Comment: I haven't used all of the items in this set, but the ones I used are great. Definitely not sticky.
The handles do get hot, but just use oven mits.
Good quality.

Summary: Awesome set and great deal!
Comment: Ive been using this set for about 2 months now. So far there are no signs of wear. They feel sturdy and cook evenly. I'm pretty happy with them. A similar set from Beds, Bath, and Beyond will run $200-500. I had a similar style set that I bought at Sam's Wholesale Club. I believe the brand was Member's Mark. They were wearing out pretty quickly and for some reason the oil seemed to stain the sides. But with this set it's not the case. I'm guessing the metal is a harder one.
