I have used Anolon for a long time.  i used to get a pan or two for my mom since she loves to cook.. only problem is that as she gets older, the pans are too heavy for her.  But this pan is different.  it cleans up like expensive anolon but it is so much lighter and easier to handle- especially when filled with food. the color around the side is a nice touch too.  the frypan seems wider than other anolon lines which I love.
I did notice the pan gets hot much faster than my heavier Anolon but doesn’t hold the heat as long (which can be good or bad depending on your recipe). I will still use my heavier Anolon especially when I need to use higher heat but this is a good everyday pan.
