The signature feature of our Anolon line is the nonstick exterior as well as interior. This makes the pan amazingly easy to clean, and keeps it looking beautiful and new. Our special blend of sapphire-reinforced nonstick is triple coated, lasting 16 times longer than traditional nonstick, and 80x longer than what is known as "ceramic" nonstick. Unlike ceramic nonstick, our pans will never leach any silicone oils into your food.
