Anolon Nouvelle Copper Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Skillet

Favorite Skillet, This is my all-time favorite skillet. I have had the skillet for a bit over a year now. I cook nearly every day, and this is the skillet I reach for most often. It cooks very evenly, without noticeable hot spots. I like to cook using fairly high heat, and I have not found this to be a porblem. Cleanup is wonderful too, as it does not have the usual protruding rivets on the inside. I have not tried using metal utensils with this skillet -- I love it so much I would not want to take a chance on damaging it! i just inspected it under strong lighting, and did find tiny scratches on the cooking surface (hadn't noticed them before), but they are not deep, don't go through to the metal. I will probably purchase more pieces from this line.
Real great pan, (What's this?) I do alot of cooking and have tried a half dozen pans. This one is one of the best so far. It heats evenly and cleans very easily.
Great Pan, (What's this?) I LOVE this pan. I have an Anolon set and wanted a bigger skillet. The Nouvelle Copper is an upgrade to me not solely because of the bottom material but also because the handle is attached without rivets, so the inside is smooth for cleanup. No cleaning around protruding rivets!

Really great pan.
Induction problem..., Nice pans but the bottoms tend to want to delaminate when used on induction stove... Avoid overheating these at all costs..
Very nice pan, (What's this?) This is flat bottomed, and works very well with our glass topped electric stove. I can't comment on durability, because I haven't had it very long. This is very well built, has a great non stick coating, strong handles that stay cool, and cooks very evenly on my electric stove. The paperwork (or box, don't recall) say it's okay to use metal utensils with it.

I also have the 8 and 10 inch skillets, they all cook great. I wanted lids for the pans, and found that the glass lids from the Anolon "Advanced" cookware line fit very well, and look great. But as far as I can see, you can only buy a 10-12 inch set. Not individually, and not for the 8 inch.
