Handsomely designed with contemporary profiles and deep charcoal-gray exteriors, Anolon Nouvelle nonstick cookware has another reason it's so sought-after: it cooks beautifully. Constructed of hard-anodized aluminum that's twice as hard as stainless steel, the cookware retains and distributes heat efficiently with no hotspots. To help ensure optimal cooking performance, each piece features an aluminum base encapsulated with copper, followed by more aluminum, and finished with a stainless-steel cap base.
The cookware also comes coated with DuPont's high-quality Autograph 2 nonstick finish to keep food from sticking and scorching, plus it's durable enough to use with metal utensils. Another thoughtful design detail includes its generous stainless-steel handles, complete with nonstick flush rivets, which help prevent food from getting stuck and make for easier cleaning. Suitable for all stovetops, including induction, the cookware can withstand an oven's heat up to 500 degrees F, which makes it possible to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven.
A fun and useful addition to any busy kitchen, this 12-inch open stir fry pan provides rounded sloped sides, a wide top, and flat, narrow bottom that allows for frying with less oil than with a straight-sided pan. Simply heat the oil; add any favorite combination of fresh vegetables, tofu, or meat; then keep things moving by tossing or by stirring with a long-handled utensil (not included). Thanks to its nonstick surface, the cookware easily washes clean by hand, and Anolon covers the unit with a limited lifetime warranty.
