I picked up my first two Anolon Professional pans at a yard sale used.  They are the best pans I have ever owned!  They cook the food so evenly with a faster cooking time.  They are easy to clean and sturdy and durable.   I love them so much that when I saw a great buy on a full Anolon Advanced Home Set I immediately purchased.   I am so excited to use them and look forward to experiencing the same satisfaction as the first two that I bought used
