Anolon's Advanced Home Hard-Anodized Nonstick 11-Piece Cookware Set is an answer to my prayers to the kitchen gods. The pots and pads really do distribute the heat evenly which makes it easier to cook. I love that they are nonstick; cleaning them is a cinch! The measuring marks inside the pots are such a nice touch because I can add the ingredients as needed without the use of a measuring cup. One less thing to clean! The handles are another high quality feature Anolon incorporated. I have the Onyx color which is gorgeous and classic.
