Anolon Nouvelle Copper Hard Anodized Nonstick Stock Pot/Stockpot with Lid - 8 Quart, Gray

I researched for a long time to replace a 4 qt non-stick sauce pan that I had for several years that was starting to show age with the teflon peeling. This looked like it was the best option and value for the money. It’s very stabile, I love that it fits in my drawer easily since it has two handles on the side, instead of one long handle. I’ve cooked, rice, veggies, sauces and boiled pasta and everything has come out perfectly. I love the thick, non-stick surface that is so easy to clean. I would highly recommend this product.

This is now my go to pan. Makes great rice, soup and many other yummy things.

Unfortunately this review might be for naught as this line is slowly being discontinued and replaced by the Analon X (an inferior hexclad imitation).This line (and the 4qt in particular) is bottom line the best non stick cookware you can buy. I'm hesitant to recommend fry pans in non stick, no matter the quality, as all non stick has a limited lifetime and fry pans/saute pans are put through the wringer in terms of cooking. I prefer carbon steel, stainless or cast iron for that purpose. Whereas a stock pot or saucepan is used for wet cooking and therefore has a longer lifespan.This was purchased to replace my older Analon cookware which is not induction compatible. I was looking for something that could take advantage of induction qualities (second only to gas IMO) while spreading the highly localized heat which can be an unfortunate side effect of induction stoves.I compared this pan to similar All-Clad and other thick base cookware.This pot outperforms all - with two thick aluminum discs and a nominal copper layer, above the stainless steel bottom (which with induction is in effect the heating element) the heat spreads across the bottom perfectly. In contrast to their 5ply stainless Nouvelle, the heat then diffuses into the anodized aluminum pot, further evening out the heat, which also climbs the sides providing even heating from all directions. The sides of the pan are quite thin, which is fine since with this kind of pot you are unlikely to see scorching from the sides. In a boiling water test, the bubbles come evenly from the entire bottom and about a half inch up the sides, something no other 5ply brand could achieve on my undersized test induction burner. The fact that this is oven safe is also great, as whatever you are cooking can be finished by slow-cooking in the oven for even, controlled heat.It's also nice that the pan is beautiful, rivet-less, and affordable. Unfortunately my preferred color (grey) is less available than 'sable' in this set.If you are lucky enough to still find these in stock, buy immediately. If you are looking for this type of pot, you cannot do better at any price.

PROS: Remarkable design, copper rules and color is just perfect, very high cookware quality, truly non-stick surface and non-heating grip. I really love it! The size of the pot is just right for small family who has time to cook.CONS: This cookware is really very sensitive to usage profile and cleaning (especially copper circle). You cannot use dishwasher but manual wash is easy, just do not use any aggressive liquids for manual wash. So, it likes to be cared carefully :)

This is a fabulous pan! The copper is encased in stainless steel on the bottom and then hard anodized aluminum on the inside. Easiest clean up Ever. The rivets are smooth on the inside which is so nice. Nothing for the food to stick to, brilliant. I don't worry about the copper discoloring, not important to me. Also not sure it really heats up faster with the copper, but that is what the experts say. I just know it is easy to use, nothing burns (I rarely use High heat) and clean up is easy. Highly recommend.

Bought this 3 years ago. I waited to write a review because I wanted to be sure to have an attested account of the product.I am happy to say this is by far my favorite pan! We use it mostly for rice, because it is the perfect size. The non stick surface is great! I'm sure it has had metal utensils use on it and it has not effected the quality at all. No peeling, lifting or scratches anywhere. I have not put this pan in the dishwasher. But I have other Hard Anodized pans before and it effects the outside appearance.

I first ordered this November 2018. In the description it says you can use metal utensils. I did and the bottom of the pot is a mess. I can no longer use it. I just ordered another one because it is wonderful to make caramel candy, no sticking or burning. This time I will only use rubber spatulas.

This is a very attractive pan. Plus it functions really well. Even heat, interior non-stick with flush rivets at the handles, exterior hard surface that is easy to clean (not non-stick however). These pans and those in the model line, have been sold out. I am looking for more pans in this style/color.

Ich habe schon einen kleineren davon und eine Pfanne - wirklich sehr gute Qualität ohne allzu schwer zu sein!!!

Works well but a little pricey
