Kitchen & Housewares : Anolon Advanced Ultimate 12-Inch Covered Stir-Fry Pan |
- a fantastic panThis is a great piece of equipment for many cooking tasks; don't let the "stir-fry" moniker limit your uses of it. In fact, because of its large flat bottom, it doesn't quite work as well for stir-frying as a traditionally shaped wok, and the nonstick coating, while durable, means you have to be a little bit too careful when moving food around -- a true stir-fry should be stirred with abandon. But this large pan is good for all kinds of sauteeing, and because of the high sides its capacity is tremendous. Combined with the tight-fitting glass lid, one of the best uses of this pan is to make risotto for a huge crowd; it's also really nice for tossing almost-cooked pasta into a hot sauce.
A few minor notes: be aware that the pan is really very large, and quite heavy, and because of this it takes a long while to heat up. It can be hard to lift when full of food. You probably wouldn't want to use this for a side dish, to whip up a little sauce on the side, or to cook for one or two people. It can block nearby burners on a small stove. The silicon-covered handles are oven-safe to a degree, but they're not magic; coming out of a hot oven they will be painfully hot to the touch.

- Very PleasedI am very pleased with this pan. I use it for stir frying, but it could be used for many things which might require a large pan.
Cleanup is easy.

- excellent qualityI didn't know Anolon before receiving a gift of a small Anolon frying pan for Christmas. It's wonderful! Extremely nice quality construction, good weight in the hand, nice handle. And the non-stick surface is superb! Nothing sticks and it cleans up with just a wipe of a damp cloth. Highly recommended -- exceptional quality for the price.

- Anolon Advanced Stir Fry Pan - Plenty Good Enough!I have the Anolon Professional set, and the Advanced Stir Fry doesn't have the same thickness as the Professional pans, but I think I like it fine that way. I can flip whatever I'm stir frying easier.

- Great panI love this pan. Great size and shape, lid that fits properly and let's you watch the state of your meal, sturdy without being very heavy (although the glass lid is pretty heavy). If the nonstick surface is as good as they claim (lifetime warranty), it'll be hard to beat.
