I was fortunate enough to try the AnolonX 2.5 Qt. Covered Saucier and let me be the first to tell you, this pan serves in all the ways! This non-stick cookware is engineered to maximize flavor with its SearTech technology and keeps the oil in the middle of the pan, enhancing flavors as a result. I'll be the first to admit that all of the bells and whistles associated with this product intimated this unseasoned chef. However, it didn't take long (or many meals) before I was feeling as seasoned as the meal I was cooking! True to its word, there isn't a scratch in sight.. and that's after washing it in the dishwasher several times. From its beautiful packaging to the saucier itself, Anolon X does not disappoint. I have already purchased another product from them, and I would recommend you do so as well!
