Product Overview
The Anolon Nouvelle copper mixed metals cookware set brings together two premium materials in one beautifully designed, high-performing kitchen essential. Combining the sleek look and superior sear of stainless steel with the effortless food release of hard-anodized nonstick, this set is crafted for home cooks who appreciate both luxury and functionality. With its European-inspired tulip-shaped profile and generous proportions, it’s more than just cookware—it’s a statement piece for any gourmet kitchen. Whether you’re searing scallops, simmering a rich sauce, or braising beef with fresh vegetables, this two-piece set delivers professional-quality results with ease.
What sets this cookware apart is its innovative dual-fabrication construction. The stainless steel pieces offer excellent browning and deglazing capabilities, while the hard-anodized nonstick surfaces make delicate foods like eggs and fish simple to prepare without sticking. But that’s only part of the story. At the heart of every pan lies a full cap base featuring a copper core sandwiched between aluminum and magnetic stainless steel layers. This advanced design ensures rapid, even heat distribution and quick temperature response—critical for precision cooking whether you’re making a reduction or sautéing mushrooms. And because the exterior layer is magnetic stainless steel, this entire set works seamlessly on all stovetops, including induction.
Key Features
- Dual-Fabrication Construction: Combines the best of stainless steel and hard-anodized nonstick—ideal for searing, browning, and effortless food release in the same set.
- Copper Core Technology: A full cap base with a copper core ensures optimal heat conductivity, uniform cooking, and fast temperature adjustments across every piece.
- European-Inspired Tulip Shape: The graceful, tulip-shaped profile enhances heat circulation, improves handling, and adds a touch of elegance to your kitchen.
- Induction Compatible: Fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, thanks to its magnetic stainless steel exterior layer.
- Durable Cast Stainless Steel Handles: Gracefully designed handles are securely attached using patented flat-rivet technology, offering strength, comfort, and long-term durability.
- Deep-Seated Domed Lids: Stainless steel lids feature a deep dome that creates a tight seal to lock in moisture, flavor, and heat during slow cooking or roasting.
- Oven Safe Up to 500°F: Seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven for recipes like roasted meats, casseroles, or baked desserts.
- Easy Care & Maintenance: Dishwasher safe for convenience, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and extend the life of both stainless steel and nonstick surfaces.

Benefits & Use Cases
This versatile cookware set is engineered for the modern cook who values performance, style, and practicality. The combination of stainless steel and hard-anodized nonstick allows you to tackle a wide range of recipes with confidence. Use the stainless steel skillet to achieve perfect golden-brown crusts on steak or pancetta-wrapped chicken, then deglaze with wine to build a flavorful pan sauce. Switch to the hard-anodized nonstick French skillet for delicate tasks like scrambling eggs, poaching fish, or preparing gluten-free meals without cross-contamination concerns.
The copper-core base ensures that heat spreads evenly from edge to edge, eliminating hot spots that can ruin sauces or burn foods. This is especially valuable when making reductions, caramelizing onions, or tempering custards where precise temperature control matters. Because the entire set is induction-ready, it fits perfectly in contemporary kitchens where compatibility with new appliances is essential. And with oven-safe capability up to 500°F, you can start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven—perfect for baking lasagna directly in the pan after browning the meat.
Users consistently praise the set for its solid construction, comfortable handles that stay cool during normal use, and the luxurious feel of the brushed stainless steel finish. Many note that despite its premium look and feel, the price point offers excellent value compared to similar high-end sets. The deep-seated lids not only enhance heat retention but also prevent splatter during boiling or simmering, making cleanup easier. Whether you’re cooking for a dinner party or preparing a quiet family meal, this set delivers reliability and elegance in equal measure.
Important Notes
This is a two-piece set, typically including a saucepan and either a covered sauté pan or a stockpot—though exact configurations may vary slightly by region or retailer. While dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to maintain the luster of the stainless steel components and prolong the performance of the hard-anodized nonstick surfaces. The cast stainless steel handles remain cool during regular stovetop use, but always use oven mitts when transferring pans between stove and oven.
Designed to complement the full range of Anolon kitchenware, this set reflects decades of culinary innovation and craftsmanship. It’s built to last with proper care, making it an investment that will serve your kitchen well for years. From everyday weeknight dinners to special occasions, the Anolon Nouvelle copper mixed metals cookware set combines timeless design with cutting-edge performance—bringing restaurant-quality results into your home.

Great pan, but there’s an error in the listing description
One complaint about the description, but all good things to say about the pan:The listing gives dimension indicating 11.25″ across. It’s actually about 2 inches less than that (even measuring generously from the very outer edges). I had wanted the larger diameter (still do for some things), but this size will work for the main recipes I bought it for.Immediately washed it, upon receipt, and tried a couple of recipes that need the thickness and heat retention I bought the pan for.The pan, itself, is great. Excellent quality, it has the thickness I wanted in the sides and especially the bottom. The lid fits very well (good seal) and is solid/thick/well made. The pan works beautifully, even heating, holds heat well, internal curvature is great for stirring/scraping/folding sauces and candies that may normally stick (pan doesn’t form a corner like other plans do)… In short, this is a solidly built pan that should work very well for years and years.As for other reviewers complaining about the handles getting hot…umm, I’m not normally snarky, but “c’mon, man”! They are metal handles/knobs which have been riveted/welded directly to steel pans – thermal transfer is real – OF COURSE any such handles will always get hot (even the owners ‘manual’ it comes with explains they will get hot (in multiple languages.).As a family who has a lot of experience (and has taught various types of cooking) with both good and poor quality cookware/tools, we can attest that this is a good pan. While I’d still like to find a larger version of this pan, I’m may still buy another one in this size, anyway. It is worth the price I paid. If you appreciate the difference between the average mass-produced cheap pans and well-made higher performing cookware, you’ll appreciate this pan.

Great quality, superior cookware!!
I waited to leave a review for these pots and pans… so I could thoroughly test them out. Reading all of the previous reviews, I was very skeptical to buy them…. “everything sticks”, “food sticks on all the time”, etc…. I will say, yes, sometimes food will stick to these pots and pans, however, I have never owned a pot or pan that was easier to clean. I just rinse/ soak the pan for 5 minutes (normally less time than that), and the burned on food simply wipes away. Wonderful!!! My previous pot and pan set, teflon coated aluminum, had some kind of concentric ring pattern inside the pan, and food would always burn and stick on there. It was even more difficult to clean. Also, these pots and pans are perfect for the dishwasher too! My previous pots and pans had hollow handles that weren’t completely sealed to the pan, so if not positioned correctly in the dishwasher, it would fill up with dirty dishwater. So annoying, un-sanitary, gross, and frustrating. No such problem with these. Solid handles, no where for water to gather. Perfect. One thing I did notice while trying to boil water in the large stock pot…. it seemed to take forever without the lid on. I think because I was used to the thin aluminum pots and pans, heat transferred more quickly, thus heating the water faster. So, keep that in mind when trying to boil water with these…. use the lid, and give it a little extra time. I would say only one downside of this set is the shape of the pots and pans. They have a tapered shape, so the base is smaller than the rim….which doesn’t leave a lot of surface area contact to the burner on the stove. Hindsight, I might have looked for this exact set of pots and pans, only in a straight non-tapered design. Other than that, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Wonderful set!!

Nice Pan
I bought the 10 piece Analon stainless induction-compatible cookware set, so naturally I chose this one as I needed a 12″ skillet and it matches the 10-piece set perfectly. The only oddity is that the sides of all the pans included in the 10-piece will attract a magnet. On this one, a magnet will only stick to the bottom, the sides are not magnetic. The manual for my range says that a magnetic bottom and sides are preferred. I’m not sure if that’s indicative of cheaper materials used in this pan or what.It’s a fine pan, good amount of heft to it. Seems to cook evenly enough on my induction range, no complaints there. The only qualm I have is that the “rim” / top of the pan is very thin, enough that I can deform it just by putting pressure on it. Feels very cheap in that area. I’m quite confident that if you’re careless handling this, smack a cast iron pan into it or something, you’ll have a dented pan very easily. This is a characteristic shared with the other pans in my 10 piece set, they’re also much too thin at the top. At this price, I think a little extra stiffness in that area isn’t asking too much. Otherwise the pan is quite heavy and built well, solid handle. Looks great out of the box, but like any stainless pan, it loses it’s luster quickly unless you spend a great deal of time polishing it.I get my jollies reading all the reviews from folks complaining about food sticking and that the finish of their pan is no longer pristine after weeks of using it. Food will stick to any uncoated metal pan, get over it, or change your technique. As for looks– It’s a metal pan for cooking. If you want a showpiece, hang it on your wall and don’t use it! Like any uncoated metal pan, when heated it has the potential to discolor, stain and overall lose its brilliance. The copper and stainless dull noticeably after only a couple uses, but I completely expected this. No stars taken away for a cooking pan behaving like a cooking pan and not some fine jewelry.I basically had three criteria for pans — durable & built well, looks decent, and cooks well with induction. But I needed that at a price that didn’t require remortgaging the house. I saw some reviewers complain about the pans (both this and the 10-peice set) being too heavy, that’s what made me try these. Heavy = GOOD!This pan hits all the marks pretty well. If the top of the pan were not so thin, this would be the pan to beat. If I had to do it over again, I might pass on this and try to find something a little sturdier at the top. You really do have to be careful stacking these pans, as I imagine it would be easy to damage one if you accidently smacked one into another. That’s really the only complaint I have.

Al principio dudé en comprarlas pero quedé impresionada de la calidad de estas sartenes nada se les pega son fáciles de limpiar yo las utilizo diario y no tengo ninguna queja de ellas, sólo hay que aprender a cocinar en acero inoxidable.Yo lo que al principio hacia es que utilizaba la prueba de agua que es colocar unas gotas de agua y cuando formen bolitas que ruedan sobre la superficie como si fuera mercurio ya está lista para empezar a cocinar en ellas, una vez que ya le aprendes al tiempo ya ni te será necesario hacer la prueba, pero sà hay que colocar aceite basta con una ligera capa, en carnes con más grasa no es necesario porque la carne se soltará en 2 minutos. Para lavar le pongo agua con vinagre blanco dejo reposar y listo, para manchas más difÃciles utilizo Bar Keepers Friend y esponja suave y listo quedarán cómo nuevas!!. también es mejor utilizar espátulas de silicón para no rayar la sartén.

Just right size. I needed it as a second pot in the oven for baking two loafs of bread at the same time. I wanted steel not cast iron to have more versatile pot for my kitchen. My other one, cast iron is not something I use on my induction stove. Too heavy…… I know I hat Iâll love this one!
