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!

    My favorite pot is definitely my 12″ Calphalon Tri-ply skillet. I use it almost everyday.

  3. Misty says

    I absolutely love my Anolon pans, but I’ve never seen the covered frying pan without the long handles. I think it would be absolutely perfect on a table at a dinner party! I’ve recommended Anolon to so many people since I started using mine!

  6. Derondah says

    My favorite Pam’s are my large skillet and medium sauce pan. Use them for everything!

  9. Gabi says

    Anolon pans are my favorite! I actually just registered for some for my wedding! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

    As a “girl raised in the south” ada: Grits… I love my cast iron skillets & pots. However, those get a bit heavy and it’s just sometimes quicker & easier to grab one of the teflon skillet/pot off the peg board wall in my kitchen. I’ve heard that copper (based) is a delight to cook with and I’d love to try them one day. As it stands now… I too… have the pots/pans that came with the wedding.

  24. Katy H. says

    I’ve never really thought about a favorite pan before, but I guess it would be one that is a mix between a pot and a pan. It is really a convient pan for everything!

    Thank you for this giveaway!

  26. Catherine G says

    I don’t necessarily have a favorite pot, but definitely use my medium sized sauce pan a lot!

  30. Nessa says

    I have had the same pans since I was married too… and they are needing some help! I would love to have these!! Love that saute pan’s little handles.

  34. Monica F. says

    My favorite pot or pan is a 5-quart dutch oven. It’s so versatile.
