The reason I ask is because I've had these pots and pans for over 5 years and I've had a few of them replaced for free twice.
That big skillet there was getting all dingy. DH packaged it up and returned it to Anolon. They sent us a brand new one. I couldn't believe it. That pan cost 80 to replace. They also replaced a sauce pan.
Just thought I'd share with ya.

I think Anolon is like Calphalon. My father bought me a whole set of Calphalon for my birthday about 10 years ago but I hated it. I took it back and bought these.
Cast Iron? Show me what yours look like.
BTW: the manu says I can put them in the oven and dishwasher but I never do. I hand wash them and usually forget I can put them in the oven.

Cast iron is the stuff your grandma and her grandma before her cooked with, in fact, all of mine are very old!


You can buy them new:

I have two favorite skillets
one is an iron skillet......never go wrong with that.
the other is a coated skillet which will not burn anything....LOL
I have Regal pots only about three of them..

I really want new dishes though.......I hate the ones I use all the time...

I have Farberware pots and pans. I've had them 17 years and they still look new. We have had to tighten the handles a few times. I have cast iron skillets.

My mother has Liftetime pots and pans and she has had them for 35+ years. Hers and her sisters have held up really well and they have the same kind of customer service your company has.

I have Farberware and have used the same set of pots and pans for over 30 years and they still look great!

I'm not familiar with the set you're using, but I'd stick to the traditional pots/pans that have been around forever.

My mom and I swear by all-clad. Heavy and expensive but well worth it. I haven't tried their non-stick pans yet. I just use spray oil and make sure the heat isn't so high the oil burns.

I have an older set of Cooks Essentials from QVC and I absolutely hate them. I got them a few years ago as a gift from my Aunt, and they are junk. My mom keeps telling me to box them up and return them, and ask for a replacement set, but what am I supposed to cook with until then?? I don't even know if I want that brand again.

So, I keep using them, even though they are chipping inside and everything sticks when it's not supposed to. Grrrr....
