Anolon is proud of their history that dates back to 1986. This is when they pioneered their hard-anodized non-stick pan. This process is the functional refinement of aluminum components as anode in cold electrolytes, which creates a thin, non-metallic conversion coating. This type of metal is free of teflon, PTFE, and PFOAs, all things which are raising major health concerns for the general public.

24 cookware sets

There are 24 results for cookware sets at Anolon. Their selection includes a few hard-anodized non-stick options as well as stainless steel. Within their company they have a few different brands that differ based on the style of the pots and pans and materials they're made out of. Some come in fun colors like aqua blue, gold, cream, and brown. The AnolonX brand ranges from a 2 to 12-piece set all made of their non-stick material. You'll get a couple different sizes of frying pans, covered saucepans, and a covered stock pot depending on the selection you choose.

King of non-stick pans

The AnolonX brand of cookware is dishwasher-safe, induction compatible, and oven-safe up to 500 degrees. Everything they sell is FDA-compliant and even has a stainless steel mesh layer so that you can use metal utensils when you're cooking. This same layer allows you to sear, similar to if you were using cast iron, since it is engineered to unite heat and fat. It keeps oil at the center of the pan for better caramelization. All the brands sold by Anolon have slightly different features, but the AnolonX has the biggest selection and some pretty great features.

Fair pricing

The least expensive choice at Anolon in their cookware set selection (that's currently in-stock) costs $89.99. It's a 3-piece set, so it includes a gourmet saute pan and skillet with a lid. It's one of the non-stick choices from the Advanced Home brand. It comes in a gray, black, and gold color. The most expensive cookware set comes from the AnolonX line for $679.99, on sale from $969.92. It's a 10-piece set with 3 sizes of frying pans, 2 covered saucepans, a saute pan, and a covered stockpot. Their most popular choice is the same set, but with 10 pieces for $579.95, on sale from $829.93. If you sign up for Anolon's email list, you'll be able to save 10% on your next order. If you're buying a cookware set for $500+ dollars, then this might definitely be worth it.

Limited lifetime warranty

All orders from Anolon come with free 3-day shipping. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can send it back within 30 days for a refund. The items need to be in original packaging and in new, unused condition. If you've tried out your Anolon pots and pans and find that they have defects with craftsmanship or don't work as promised, they are backed by a lifetime warranty. This only covers cookware that has been used and cleaned appropriately. Some cookware is not dishwasher-safe, can be overheated, or can be damaged with abrasive cleaners. If this is the cause of your cookware not looking or performing correctly, this will not be covered by the warranty. Be sure to read the details of your particular product to ensure you know how to care for it before buying.

Read customer reviews of products

Anolon is a brand of California-based Meyer Corporation. They are one of the largest cookware companies in America and also sell popular brands like Farberware, KitchenAid, Rachael Ray, Circulon, and others. They allow unfiltered customer reviews on their cookware, so we learned a lot from reading through those. Most customers are thrilled with the performance of the Anolon pans and have been long-time buyers of the brand.

Good customer service response

Customer service seems to be responsive and helpful as well. We would refer heavily to the reviews on the product you're interested in, and not lose too much sleep over the fact that the Better Business Bureau gives Meyer Corporation a "D-” rating. This corporation oversees so many companies that we don't think their rating is a direct reflection of how much you'd like a cookware set from Anolon.

Functional and affordable

Anolon doesn't have as big of a selection of cookware sets as some other companies we've reviewed, but they have a decent enough selection to satisfy most people's needs. We like the features of their AnolonX brand and can easily see why they are one of their most popular products. Prices also seem reasonable and for a 10- or 12-piece set, it's good to see that they've been priced affordably. For a functional, affordable new set of cookware, Anolon deserves your consideration.
