Weekend Giveaway: My Two Favorite Anolon Pans

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure here.

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. 

Congrats to: Amy (apcoffey@…)

When I got married, I received a really nice set of pots and pans… and over the past 6 1/2 years, I’ve used a few of those pans every week (if not every day). There are a few more that I use occasionally, and there’s one that  I’ve honestly NEVER used!

I like the idea of getting a complete set of pans (especially for wedding gifts and new home owners).  However, based on the way I cook, it’s smarter for me to spend a bit more money buying only the pans that I use every day — and then save cabinet space by not storing the ones I don’t use!

I’ve done a good job of paring down my pots and pans to a reasonable amount — and I honestly do use every pot and pan in my cabinet. I promise 🙂

However, if I could only pick 2 pans to cook with for the rest of my life, I would pick:

  1. a medium size covered sauce pan
  2. a medium size covered frying pan

Yes, I would definitely miss the rest of my pots and pans, but most of the food I cook could be made in these two pans (pasta, sauces, meat, grilled sandwiches, small batches of soup, etc)

Since I use these 2 pans all the time, the ones that came with my wedding set were starting to show quite a bit of wear and tear. So I was thrilled when Anolon offered to replace these two pans for me… and even more excited that they also want to share my two favorite pans as a giveaway 🙂

1. Anolon Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel 9.5-inch “Everything Pan”

This pan really is an “everything pan”. You can use it for everything from grilled cheese sandwiches, to vegetable stir fry, chicken parmesan, casseroles, and more.

Personally, I LOVE that is doesn’t have a long handle like a traditional frying pan (because it takes up less room in my cabinet). I also love that it can go from the stovetop right into the oven — which means Dave has fewer dishes to wash 🙂

2. Anolon Chef Clad 3 Qt. Covered Saucepan

My old 3 qt. saucepan was totally shot because I used it so much.  And while I still plan to use my new Anolon sauce pan just as often, I think it should hold up a little better because it’s really heavy-duty.

I love that it has a tempered glass lid so I can see if my water is boiling (or if the potatoes are ready to boil over), I love that  it has a nice big handle that I can grab even with an oven mitt, and I love that it’s dishwasher safe!

If you don’t have a favorite pot or pan yet, then let me share mine with you — I’m pretty sure you’ll fall in love with them too!

    I loved my stainless steel electric frypan that we had gotten for a wedding gift 31 years ago, but it gave out several years ago. I haven’t found any other pan I’ve liked as well, but I sure could use these 2 new pans since all my other pans are not great.

  2. Brittany says

    I already have liked your page on Facebook months ago 🙂 and have liked analon page.

  3. LE says

    My favorite pan is flat panel that’s perfect for pancakes, grilled cheese, etc. I’m sorry, I don’t know the exact name of it.

  9. Kris says

    My favorite pan is a large Le Crueset frying pan, but it has no lid! I have been looking for a medium size pan just like your giveaway – I hope I win! I already like you on facebook, but I’ll go like Analon now so we’re covered.

  11. Mary B says

    My favorite is a 2qt calphalon saucepan I use. My original set of pots and pans has petered out after 18 years. Slowly replacing with better!

  12. Kate says

    My favorite is my big stainless steel skillet. I use it for everything it seems. Can never have too many good quality pans.

  15. Benje Campbell says

    I already like you on facebook. And I will like Anolon………

  16. Benje Campbell says

    My favorite pan would be the EVERYTHING pan if I win it…….but for now it is my Pampered Chef skillet with glass lid. I use it for everything. but it is getting OLD.

  18. Jess says

    My favorite pan is a nonstick frying pan that we were given when we married. It’s been quite abused over the years.

  20. Jennifer says

    My favorite pan is my non-stick omelet pan. It requires little cleanup and is helpful with the little things I need to cook!

  21. Melissa Russo says

    I don’t love any of my pans right now – but thanks for the opportunity to change that!

  27. Helen Stockwell says

    I would love to have the saucepan… can never find the right one to buy!

  28. Mary says

    My favorite pan is a small saucepan with pouring spout, and the lid has holes for draining.

  29. Debbie says

    I like using a stainless steel dutch oven that I got from an estate sale when we got married 24 yrs ago. I use it daily sometimes several times a day.

  31. Grace says

    I couldn’t live without my non-stick skillet. Cook just about everything in there!

  34. Mel says

    Do you have a post listing out all the pots and pans you have? I would love to get mine down to just the essentials!

  35. Beatriz says

    My favorite piece has got to be a pot a friend gave me for boiling pasta. It has holes in the lid and it clamps down, so all you do when you’re done is twist the lid and dump the water! I usually boil the pasta, add the vegetables if they need a little blanching in with the pasta, and when I’m done I’ve only used one pot. LOVE IT!

  36. Elizabeth says

    My big stock pot– I don’t use it every day but a few times a week and for things far beyond cooking. I don’t own a large mixing bowl so my stock pot is my go-to for mixing granola and other things that are in a big batch.

  38. Mavis says

    My grandmother’s cast iron skillet. Memories always inspire me to do a little somethin special.
