But choosing the right cookware set or pot or pan could be confusing. Because Anolon comes with several models of cookware sets and individual frying pans and pots.

Different items are made of different materials and designed for professional as well as home cooks. So choosing the right one can be tricky.

And that’s why I decide to write an in-detailed best Anolon cookware reviews. Hopefully, after reading this review, you can choose the best Anolon cookware item for your kitchen.

So let’s explore the best Anolon pots and pans together.

6 Best Anolon Cookware Reviews

Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set (Bronze)

This is one of the best-selling and top-rated Anolon hard anodized cookware sets that offer plenty of features.

The hard anodization process makes the set the most durable cookware set and perfect for even heat distribution. As the bottom of each pot and pan makes of heavy gauge aluminum, so they can heat up faster as well as provide efficient heat transfer.

To make the cooking surface nonstick, Anolon used their own sapphire-reinforced nonstick coating. This is a scratch-proof coating that can also release food easily. The coating doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals.

The manufacture also claimed that this coating is metal utensils safe, but some of its users find it’s not safe for metal utensils. That means nonstick coating does scratch using metal utensils or metal scrubbers.

However, this Anolon advanced cookware set comes with 11-pieces of essential cooking pots and pans with lids. And all pots and pans come with Anolon SureGrip handle that offers a secure and comfortable cooking experience.

Besides the handle, all lids are made of high quality tempered glass and can retain heat during cooking. You can also easily monitor food while cooking.

The cookware set is oven safe for up to 400 degrees F (without lids). The downside of this set is, it’s not dishwasher friendly. And you should careful while cleaning the pan. Never put water on the hot pan because it can warp the nonstick surface over time. And also should avoid hard detergent for cleaning the pots and pans.

Bottom Line

Overall this Anolon bronze cookware set is perfect for those who are looking for budget-friendly cookware set with high quality and durability.

Although the set is not induction friendly, but it’s one of the best gas stove cookware set within the price range.

Anolon Smart Stack Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set

The storage problem is one of the most common problems for the busy kitchen. And if you have the same problem, then you should consider this Anolon smart stack cookware set.

The space-saving cookware set needs 62% less space to store that needs a traditional 11-piece cookware set.

Besides saving the kitchen space, the cookware set is also made of heavy gauge aluminum and toxin-free nonstick coating.

Anolon claims that the sapphire-reinforced Infinity Slide(TM) nonstick coating can last 16X longer than traditional coatings. And the aluminum body is also durable as well as can transfer heat rapidly and evenly.

Being nonstick, cooking with the pan needs a very less amount of oil/butter. Then the nonstick surface also helps to release food easily. And as there is no food burning issue, you can also clean the pots and pans without any hassle.

Bottom Line

The 11-Piece Anolon cookware set comes with all essential pots and pans for everyday cooking. Furthermore, the set is also compatible with the induction cooker and safe for dishwasher cleaning (as Anolon claimed). But never use cooking spray and always cool-down the pan before cleaning.

Anolon Allure Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Pots and Pans Set

Another top-rated hard anodized cookware set from Anolon. The Allure cookware set is made of hard anodized aluminum which is harder than stainless steel cookware.

The aluminum body also ensures even and rapid heat distribution for even food cooking. And the PFOA-free non-stick coating makes the frying pan ideal for no-fat or less-fat cooking.

As the nonstick cooking surface releases food easily, so cleaning the set is also hassle-free. And the entire set is dishwasher safe, so cleaning on the dishwasher can save your huge time.

But as the pot and pan comes with a nonstick surface, I always recommend hand washing rather than dishwasher cleaning. Because cleaning on the dishwasher can wrap or peels off the nonstick coating.

Bottom Line

The most durable and oven-safe nonstick cookware set is perfect for everyday cooking. The unique and craft design with stainless steel long handle makes it comfortable for every kitchen.

Although the price is a little bit high, but you will surely get what you paid for.

Anolon Nouvelle Stainless Steel Cookware Pots and Pans Set

Every pot and pans of this set come with 5-layer construction. The inner non-stick stainless steel layer, outer stainless steel exterior and tow layer of Aluminum sandwiched with a copper layer.

The copper layer makes the bottom heavy as well as perfect for rapid and even heat distribution.

Although the inner surface is nonstick, but you should manage heating temperature as well as use some oil/fat for cooking.

This will help to release the cooked food easily as well as avoid the burning issue. For easy cleaning, the entire set comes with dishwasher cleaning features. But as always, I recommend regular dishwasher cleaning to keep your set free from stains.

Bottom Line

This is an Anolon professional cookware set that is perfect for both professional and newbie home cooks. The entire set with a stainless steel lid is oven safe and perfectly optimized for an induction range.

The flush and dual riveted handle make every pots & pan so comfortable although the weight is heavy. And Anolon offers a lifetime warranty for this cookware set.

How to Make Chicken Biryani in Rice Cooker

Making chicken biryani in rice cooker is not a big deal especially if you have previous experience of cooking biryani. But what if you have zero knowledge about cooking biryani?

Well, this rice cooker chicken biryani is one of the easiest electric rice cooker chicken biryani recipes. So anyone with zero knowledge can make biryani following this simple chicken biryani recipe.

Biryani is one of the most popular and royal Indian sub-continental dishes. People love to have biryani on special occasions or even on a holiday.

But preparing biryani on the stovetop is a little bit tricky and you must have some knowledge or experience. So that’s why I’m going to show you how to make chicken biryani in rice cooker without having zero knowledge or experience.

Chicken Biryani in Rice Cooker, Is It Practical?

Yes, it’s practical and can be made easily using different types of rice cookers.

When I search on the web for rice cooker chicken biryani recipes, I have found most of the recipes use both stovetop and rice cooker. They used a stovetop to cook chicken and rice cooker to cook rice as well as making the biryani.

But assume you are in a situation where you have no access to any stovetop except a rice cooker. Like in the college dorm, no electric or gas supply in the home kitchen or travel with a portable/mini rice cooker. And considering the above situation, I have only used my rice cooker to make this chicken biryani recipe.

So How Actually It can be made?

In the first step, you need to marinate the chicken using curd/yogurt and other essential spices and ingredients. Then wash the rice and soak for 30 minutes.

Here I have used long-grain Basmati rice (Indian). But you can use any type of long or short-grain white rice. And depending on the rice, the amount of water and cooking time will vary.

However, in the second step, you need to cook the marinated chicken. For this, you can use any type of cooking oil or clarified butter (ghee).

The cooking time of the chicken will depend on the type of chicken and the power/capacity/type of the rice cooker. I’ve used my Panasonic 730W Rice Cooker and it takes almost 30 minutes to cook the chicken.

Remember that, if you are using a close-lid type rice cooker, you may face obstruction to cook the chicken.

Because most of the modern electric rice cooker comes with advance safety feature and they stopped working automatically when it’s get heated too much. So double check your rice cooker features and functions before start cooking.

Well, in the 3^rd step, you need to add the soaked rice and enough water to make the biryani.

But you can also follow a different way to finish the cooking that I’m followed while cooking beef and mutton biryani in the rice cooker.

And the different way is, you can remove the cooked chicken from the rice cooker. And then boil the biryani rice and also remove the rice.

After that, just layer both cooked chicken and boiled rice in the rice cooker, add other ingredients like clarified butter, coriander leaves, etc. whatever you want to add in your biryani to make it flavorful.

And finally, cook the biryani for few minutes and keep it in the “Warm Mode” for few minutes. This is also one of the most effective methods for me to make perfect biryani in my rice cooker.

How to Make Rice Cooker Chicken Rice?

Rice cooker chicken rice also known as Hainanese Chicken Rice is one of the most popular rice dishes in Singapore and Malaysia.

The traditional Hainanese Chicken Rice is made on the stovetop, but using a rice cooker can make the job easy.

Also, the taste of the dish is outstanding and perfect for both lunch and diner. If you have a rice cooker in your kitchen, then you can make this rice dish within 35-40 minutes.

So How Rice Cooker Chicken Rice is made?

If you want to follow the traditional Hainanese chicken rice recipe, you can use different ingredients.

But to make the recipe simple and quick, I have used fewer ingredients. And the two main ingredients are rice and chicken that are a must for the recipe.

However, for this rice cooker chicken rice recipe, I have used two chicken legs, 1 cup of rice, spring onion, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and some other ingredients.

You can use any portion of the chicken (with or without skin). But personally, I don’t recommend using chicken breast.

At first, marinate the chicken legs using 1 tsp of sesame oil, salt, white pepper and spring opinion. After that, turn on the rice cooker, add another tsp of sesame oil and fry garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes. And then add washed and soaked rice and fry for another 2 minutes.

You can use any type of short or long-grain rice. Here I have used short grain aromatic rice. You can use Jasmine rice or even Basmati rice. But to get the traditional touch, Jasmine rice is always recommended.

However, after that, add water and marinated chicken. And then cook for about 20 minutes or until your rice cooker goes to the Warm Mode automatically.

The amount of water will depend on the rice that you are using. Using the right ratio of water is important, otherwise, your rice will remain uncooked or overcooked/sticky.

If you want to make the process even faster, you can add all ingredients together to the rice cooker pot and turn on the rice cooker to start cooking.

But to make the rice and chicken flavorful, I like to marinate the chicken first and then fry the garlic and ginger in the sesame oil before adding rice.

How to Make Rice Cooker Banana Bread?

After making different dishes I want to bake some cake and bread in my rice cooker. I want to see how effective a rice cooker is for baking. And in my little experience, you can bake some basic bread and cake in the rice cooker. If you can follow the proper cooking time, you will get an amazing baking experience with a rice cooker, however, today I’m going to make rice cooker banana bread.

This is my 1^st attempt of baking in my rice cooker. So I burnt the bottom portion of the bread. But you don’t need to worry, if you follow my instruction below, you will get a perfect rice cooker baked banana bread.

Steps to Make Rice Cooker Banana Bread

This is a basic banana bread that I bake using my rice cooker. So I tried to keep basic and simple ingredients so that everyone can make and taste them.

However, for making the rice cooker banana bread, first, you need to make the bread batter. First, mash the ripe banana in a mixing bowl and then add other ingredients like eggs, melted butter, vanilla essence, sugar and milk.

Mix them well and then add AP Flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix the batter well but don’t overmix. You can skip the baking soda if don’t like it. However, to make the bread flavorful, you can add sliced/chopped nuts and risings.

After that, grease some oil in the rice cooker pot and add baking paper. (If your rice cooker inner pot is fully nonstick, then you can skip baking paper. But still adding baking paper will release the baked bread easily and also keep the bread safe from burning).

Now transfer the batter into the rice cooker pot and then place the rice cooker pot into the rice cooker. Turn on the rice cooker to start baking.

Depending on your rice cooker power and size, you will need to bake for 45-60 minutes. Even you may need less than 45 minutes (roughly 25-30 minutes) if your rice cooker power is good enough to heat up faster and evenly. However, after turning on the rice cooker, it will go to the Keep Warm Mode automatically after 4-5 minutes. So you will need to turn on the rice cooker again. But you will need to follow a cooking cycle.

You may need 2-4 cooking cycles to bake the banana bread. Each cooking cycle contains 3-5 minutes Cook and 12-15 minutes keep Warm Mode. If you follow this cooking cycle, you will get perfectly baked banana bread.

How To Choose The Best Tea Cups And Mugs

Since a good cup improves the quality of the tea, you need to be very careful with the type of cup or mug you opt for. Through this buying guide, we help you to invest wisely. Consider the following factors-

Size

Usually, traditional teacups were much smaller as tea was generally used for medicinal purposes. Such concoctions were often taken as doses. Some people still prefer smaller cups and mugs to finish taking tea when the drink is still hot.

Some people will want to have a one-off serving of their favorite drink. So, what’s the perfect amount of tea for an individual? While the answer will vary from one individual to another, your own preference should guide you into making the right decision.

Ergonomic Use

Since tea is often served hot, tea cups should be easy to use and that’s why ergonomic design comes into focus. Consider a tea cup with a wide handle to provide a comfortable hug.

Cosmetic Value

The design and outlook of your desired cup or mug also play a big role in how you choose a teacup or mug. You would certainly want to present your drink to guests in the most appealing manner. Along with matching your tea standards, the best tea cup set should equally meet your taste of style.

Weight

Usually, thicker models are heavier than thinner models. They have a higher ability to retain heat and keep your drink hotter for longer. However, many prefer lighter cups and mugs to heavier ones as they are easy to maneuver.

Material And Shape

The material determines the durability of your teacup or mug. Essentially, most cups or mugs are made from glass or porcelain. Both types of materials do not spoil the taste of your tea and will do pretty well to retain heat and keep your tea warmer for longer.

As for the shape, we tackled this at the top of this article. Your preferred shape determines whether you will choose a mug over a cup or vice versa.

Different Types Of Tea Cups

A tea cup is not just a regular cup. Instead, there is a classification of tea cups based on the origin and material properties that they are made from. Popular types of tea cups include-

Japanese Tea Cups

Japanese tea cups are one of the most popular types that you will find in the market today. They are a favorite with millions of tea takers.

This category includes modern and traditional tea cups of a wide range of sizes. It also includes a versatile range of antique matcha bowls. The cups add pleasure, harmony, respect, serenity, and safety to your tea taking experience.

The Japanese tea cups are further categorized as follows-

Yunomi- This is arguably the most common type that any tea lover would use for informal or daily tea taking. They are cylindrical and have a capacity ranging from 90ml to 160ml. The category includes Haig, Shino, Ashiko, and Karatsu.
Chawan- It is a wide matcha drinking bowl specific for traditional Japanese tea drinking rituals. Chawan comes in different shapes which include cylindrical, half-cylindrical, and conical shapes. No matter whichever shape it takes, the interior wall is slightly curved at the bottom. They are not heavy, hence pretty comfortable to hold.
Machawan- This is specifically a bowl used when taking powdered tea. You can use Chawan and Machawan interchangeably. However, Chawan remains a more famous option than the latter.

Chinese Tea Cups

Tea is native to China. It is for that reason that the world credits China with some of the most remarkable contributions to teaware. So, if you are meticulous about tea and anything that goes with it, then there is no doubt that you need to know about Chinese tea cups and teapots.

Chinese teaware dates back to centuries. The contribution has been made across dynasties for a long period. Notable dynasties include the Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Dynasty, Yongzheng Dynasty, and Qianlong Dynasty.

More recently, the classification of Chinese cups now revolves around the following-

Filtering Tea Cups- Filtering teacups and mugs primarily filter tea during tea taking. This type of cup is often designed and made with functional internal filters. They are further subdivided into the following;
Poet Filtering Cups- These are made from porcelain and specifically meant for taking loose tea leaves. It is a tea cup with a lid and features an internal porcelain filtering mechanism. The lid allows tea leaves to expand and infuse fully into your drink for a more authentic taste.
Yixing Clay Filtering Mug- This mug is native to Jiangsu province. Made from purple clay, this type of tea mug can absorb the aromas and flavors of the tea. It also features an internal filter and stands out like a mug that will conveniently cool to the sense of touch even when the tea is hot.
Specialty Tea Cups- This category of tea cups includes Four-Season Character Tea Cups and Small Peony Flower Gaiwan Tea Cups. They are arguably the best porcelain tea cups that you will find in the market.
Cast Iron Tea Cups- If you have a cast iron teapot, then you will find the black cast iron tea cups a great companion for the teapot. It is a classical option manufactured from high-quality cast iron with an enamel coating in the interior to prevent rusting.

Tea Cup Vs Mug

Most people use the words cup and mug interchangeably with the assumption that they mean the same thing. That is not true. The two words mean different items.

By definition, a teacup is flat, wide and comes with a saucer. The combination is purposefully designed for holding and taking tea. Common materials used for making tea cups include glass, porcelain, and ceramic.

Tea cups have an average capacity of between 150ml to 190ml depending on the level of tea poured. However, the Chinese have smaller variants that hold between 30ml to 60ml of tea.

How To Choose The Best Spice Jars

There is a big difference between any spice jar and the right spice jar. That’s why you need to choose a product that meets your needs and taste. While this gives you an amazing range to choose from, making the correct choice is both tedious and time-consuming.

Apart from common factors such as budget, durability, ease of use, and design, the following are some of the most important features.

Capacity

“What size of spice container should I buy?” That’s the first question that every prospective buyer has on their mind. Size remains the most essential feature to consider when shopping for spice jars.

The capacity of spice bottles is measured in ounces. They range from as small as 2 ounces to as large as 10 or more ounces. The size you opt for will depend on the number of herbs you want to preserve at one go.

Intended Use And Versatility

The best spice storage containers are often the ones that offer versatile uses to the buyers. Spices such as coriander, garlic, powdered pepper, and rosemary may not require large-capacity containers. On the other hand, foodstuffs such as jam, coffee beans, and tea leaves, among others may require bigger containers.

If you intend to use your jars for storing different types of herbs, spices, or items, then you will need to look for a type that complements your requirements.

Lids

The question is not about the availability of lids. Any spice jar should come with a lid. Instead, the question is about how fitting the lids are. Food containers need lids that are tight-fitting to maintain the freshness of the contents. Tight-fitting caps also help to retain the flavors for a long time.

Dispensation

While tight-fitting lids are important, you need to consider how you will dispense the contents of your preferred spice containers.

Do you prefer shaker lids? Or, are you comfortable with silt and pour systems? Make sure the jar has the dispensation system that you prefer.

Labels And Additional Features

A good spice jar should come with a set of labels. You will need both preprinted and unprinted labels. Common label types include chalkboard and plastic labels.

Also, added features to the spice jar set brings convenience and ease of use. A good spice container set would usually offer bonus features like refill funnel, rack storage, and shaker tops, to mention a few.

How to Store Spices in Jar Properly

Like all other food products, spices also have a shelf life. The way you store your spices not only determines the shelf life of them but also affects the retention of their flavors.

The most appropriate way to store spices is by using airtight containers. Moreover, all the containers should be kept in cool, fairly dark environments such as cabinets or cupboards. The key is to shield them from direct sunlight.

Can you store spices in a freezer? Many people think the refrigerators are a decent place for storing spices. While the dark environment is pretty okay and advisable, the humidity will undoubtedly alter the flavors of your spices.

How to Clean Spice Jar

Spice bottles are small containers hence a bit complicated to clean and maintain. Nearly all bottles are rated dishwasher safe by respective manufacturers.

However, you should hand clean your jars using a damp cloth and rinse with running water. Then wipe with a dry piece of cloth and refill with your favorite herbs.

Tips on Using Spice Jar Like Pro

Everyone has a dream spice cupboard or cabinet. However, it doesn’t come as expected in most cases. The following tips should be of help if you want to stay on top of your game-

Discard all the old spices.
Store all your spices in an accessible place.
Use spice jars with similar shapes and designs for uniformity.
Label all your spices clearly.
Arrange your spices alphabetically.
Alternatively, you can compartmentalize your spice cabinet and store spices according to uses. For example, grilling, baking, and broiling spices in separate bins.

How to Choose The Best Burger Press

Just like with every other kitchen equipment, choosing the ideal burger patty press is an uphill task. This simple guide should help you through this tedious process.

Material

What should an ideal burger press be made from? While there is no single answer to this question, be guided that the material of construction determines the durability of your patty maker.

Common materials include porcelain, stainless steel, and aluminum. You’ll also find other variations like plastic and wooden hamburger press.

We advise that you choose a metal burger press except when you have a solid reason against metallic options, i.e. portability.

Ease Of Cleaning

All utensils should be easy to clean. A hamburger maker is no exception. Check if the equipment of choice is dishwasher safe or not. If it isn’t, then at least it should be non-stick and easy to clean by hand. A patty press that has detachable parts is easier to clean and maintain.

Non-Stick

This feature not only enhances easy cleaning but also comes in handy when you want to release your patty from the machine. Be on the lookout for non-stick coating in the equipment’s interior. Also, check the availability of patty papers as these will make your work easier.

Ergonomic Handle

Patty makers are manual pieces of tools. Therefore, the handle will largely determine comfort during patty prepping. Look out for ergonomic handles.

How to Use Burger Press Properly

The most vital aspect of making burgers from home is that you have the convenience of being flexible with your ingredients. The process is simple and you don’t need to be a trained chef to hack it.

You will need minced meat, flavors of your choice, and beaten egg to bind them together. Mold your ingredients in the burger press and cook in your desired method. You can grill, fry, or BBQ.

The Basic Tips Are-

Clean the tool thoroughly on arrival.
Place or install the device on a plain, level surface
Ensure that the base is stable.
Remove the handle to expose the dish at the bottom.
Put your ingredients in the dish.
Apply reasonable pressure using the press.
Include seasonings and top up appropriately.

Are Calphalon Pans Oven Safe?

At present, the most common concern among the Calphalon users is, are Calphalon pans oven safe, or what is the maximum oven-safe temperature of them? Well, Calphalon pans and pots are widely popular because of their low-maintenance and effortless cleaning process. The non-stick surfaces of Calphalon pans are made of anodized aluminum, which is much safer than other non-stick coatings like Teflon.

However, you need to keep in mind that the maximum suitable temperature of Calphalon pans differs by collection. Even though all Calphalon collections are oven-safe up to 400° Fahrenheit, many can withstand up to 500° Fahrenheit also. In this article, I’d like to share if Calphalon pans are oven-safe or not along with some more important information. So, keep scrolling to know more.

Are Calphalon pans oven safe| Why does it matter:

Non-stick cookware that contains petroleum-based Teflon coating has been found to break under high temperatures. This particular coating releases poisonous fumes when exposed to high heat that can be dangerous for both humans and the environment. So, can Calphalon pans go in the oven? And the short answer is yes, you can put your Calphalon non-stick pan in the oven.

Calphalon pans and pots are best known for their durability as well as versatility. A Calphalon signature non-stick pan is typically oven-safe as long as the temperature is 500° Fahrenheit or lower. Calphalon non-stick pans are usually made of hard-anodized aluminum which makes them capable to withstand high heat temperatures. Calphalon stainless steel cookware can also be used in the oven up to 450° F if you’re not using a tempered glass lid to cover it.

Are handles and lids of Calphalon pans oven-safe?

Most Calphalon cookware collections come with a tempered glass lid that allows you to monitor your foods while cooking. This tempered glass goes through a thermal tempering method which makes it four times sturdier than regular glass. Because of its durability, Calphalon tempered glass lids are absolutely safe to use in the oven up to 450° Fahrenheit.

Like the Calphalon pans and pots, the handle is also able to withstand high heat temperatures in the oven. However, cookware that comes with a plastic handle is not safe to use in the oven. It’s important to note that plastic handles will melt if they’re exposed to higher temperatures. So, it’s recommended to check the allowable temperature of the handle before you start using your Calphalon pan.

Things to keep in mind when using Calphalon cookware in the oven:

Before you start using your Calphalon pan in the oven there are some important points that you must consider. Keeping these points in your mind will help you to prevent damaging the pan and risking injury to yourself.

Be Careful Not to Overheat:

Don’t overheat your non-stick pan or pot over 500 degrees Fahrenheit as it can cause permanent damage to the cookware. Check the recommended temperature of your cookware collection because some of the Calphalon collection are much lower. It’s important to keep in mind that, the non-stick coating can release harmful toxins when it’s overheated.

Use Oven Gloves or Pot Holders:

Always remember to use your two hands while transferring the cookware from the stovetop to the oven. It’s also important to use potholders or wear gloves for taking a hot pot or pan out of the oven. These protection measures will help you to prevent any unexpected injury or spills during cooking.

Watch Out when Broiling with Calphalon Pans:

You need to be extra cautious while broiling with Calphalon pans or pots because the fats can cause flare-ups. It’s recommended to use your broiler for only a few minutes at a time and keep a close eye on the pan during broiling.

Never expose your pan to cold water after straightly taking it off from burner. It’s always recommended to let the pan cool down first or the non-stick cooking surface will get noticeably damaged.
Ensure that you’re using warm water to clean your Calphalon pans and pots this will make the cleaning easier.
Though Calphalon cookware is dishwasher-safe still it’s better to hand wash them to protect their shine. It’s also recommended not to use any harsh detergent or dishwasher as it can damage the non-stick layer of your pan. it’s important to use a non-abrasive sponger or soft cloth and mild liquid dishwashing soap to hand wash your Calphalon pan.

Last Words:
