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 pan is my mother’s cast iron skillet. Thanks for the contest and your blog!

    My favorite pans are, my 12″ cast iron skillet that has become perfectly seasoned through the years, and my 3 quart ‘waterless’ pan. I bought my waterless cookware in 1974 just before graduating from college. I think new pans are definitely in order! I would love to win your giveaway!
    I have ‘liked’ your Facebook page previously. I enjoy all the helpful hints from your blog, especially the ones for organization and cleaning. I wish some of your enjoyment for cleaning would rub off on me though!
    Thanks for all you do to share with us in the midst of your busy life.

    My favorite pan is a large nonstick frying pan. Deep enough to cook stir-fries and such. Would like to try this one!!

    Hi! My favorite pan is my Caphalon chili pot. I use it for all my soups, stews, etc. I currently have 2 very old cheap brand pans that I use almost daily and would LOVE this Anolon 3qt saucepan. I just liked you on fb too! Thanks for a chance for the giveaway!

    Hi –

    I like my covered dutch oven. It is versitile, can be used for soups, stews, roasts on the stovetop and in the oven.
    Thank you

  19. Kelly says

    My favorite would be my sauté pan. I use it for everything.
    I have already liked your FB page.

  24. Renea B. says

    My favorite pot or pan??–Shoot, I need one because I stink at cooking. Right now it’s the crock pot with a liner so I don’t have to clean it up. *wink* Renea.

  26. Katie says

    Definitely my covered skillet (kind of like the “Everything Pan”). I’m saving for a new set right now though because all my pots and pans have a non-stick coating and I’d like a set without that.

  28. Ledaly says

    I have been shopping for a stainless steel covered 9″ pan that I can transfer to the oven. Thank you for the opportunity to win this giveaway! Both pans would be put to use daily!

    I currently use a nonstick covered frying pan.

    By the way I love your blog! I liked you and Anolon on FB.

  36. SalBug says

    I love my enameled cast-iron dutch oven that I bought on the cheap years ago. It’s fabulous.

  37. Lynn says

    We’ve been married for almost 26 years…so I could definitely use the new pans!!!
