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 use a large nonstick skillet with glass lid that I bought at Costco and cast iron skillets!

  2. Marilyn says

    I use a glass covered frypan the most. I would really love the new pans.

  3. Donna E says

    I already “Like” you on Facebook and just now clicked the “Like” button on Anolon. Thanks for the opportunity to win a couple of great looking pans!

  5. Margo says

    My medium sized skillet and sauce pan get the most use. They are about 15 years old and look it. I could definitely use both of these.

  6. Donna E says

    Sorry I forgot to say that my favorite pan is my Revere Ware 2.5 qt pan that has my steamer basket in it and I steam frozen broccoli all the time!

  7. Donna E says

    I don’t have any Anolon pans and would love to win these two. They look like great pans and great sizes too.

  8. Rebecca says

    I love my 10″ non-stick frypan and use it daily. It is Caphalon and still looks brand new. I already like SOL on Facebook

  9. Nora says

    I love my cast iron grill pan, so great to have grilled chicken when it’s freezing out

  15. MeLeah says

    I love my Analon oval shaped pan. It is like the one Rachel Ray uses! It is fantastic! Analon is amazing! Would love to win!

  16. Karen J says

    I have a 10 in skillet that I use for so many things but would love to win this. I really like the one you use that doesn’t have the long handle.

  17. Flybabymom says

    I love my medium-size cast iron skillet–which I cannot use with my glass-top stove! Our previous house had regular electric eyes which worked great. I love the glass-top stove, too, though, so…I’m just using my regular stainless cookware which I also like. But it’s just not quite the same as the cast iron…

  21. Pam says

    My favorite pan is my small skillet which I use almost daily for omelet’s. I have never had any really nice covered saucepans and woud absolutely love one.

  23. Becca says

    My favorite pan is an Anolon pan as well – it is between a wok and a skillet size, which I love because it holds so much! BUT the non-stick surface isn’t working well anymore (my fault), so I would desperately LOVE getting to try the ‘everything’ pan!

  24. Kendra Hipsag says

    My favorite pan is my casserole pan which I can cook with on the stove top and also put in the oven.

  26. Anna says

    I think my covered skillet is the one that gets the most use, but I love the two-handled and extra deep “everything pan” you have!

  27. Monica says

    My older frying pans have no handles. My mother bought a huge new one which is nice for when our whole family is home, but we would love a smaller one.

  32. Chris Munson says

    I have similar pans that I like – they are by Emeril, I got them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I used them to replace my non-stick and aluminum pans.

  33. Lizabeth says

    I need to cook more… but when i do – I use those two pans. Typically spaghetti and a meat sauce.

  34. pw says

    I absolutely really need the 3 quart pan, mine is 10 yrs old stainless and really is starting to show wear and needs to be replaced. But I could use both of them. My pans are old

  40. Amber says

    I love my large frying pan, but it is in need of replacement. These would be the perfect replacement!
