Prior to receiving my Anolon Advanced Onyx 12-piece cookware set, I was unfamiliar with the brand and had never even heard of it. I do a lot of cooking and make a large family dinner at least 6 nights a week and have used all 12 pieces of my Anolon cookware set at least a couple of times over the past few weeks and have found it to be a great cookware set. I'm very happy and satisfied with it and would definitely purchase it in the future. The cookware is modern, nice looking and cleans up easily with no heavy scrubbing or soaking needed. Prior to receiving the Anolon Advanced cookware I was using a variety of cookware that consisted of various Calphalon pots and pans and I have to say that the Anolon cookware performs as well, if not better, than the Calphalon cookware did. I would highly recommend the Analon Advanced Onyx 12-piece cookware set to others.
