    About

    The Anolon Vesta is part of the Cookware test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Frying Pan (Cast Iron) models like the Vesta are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Baking: A high score means the pan bakes cornbread evenly with good moisture and rise. A top-scoring model produces golden, well-baked results on both the top and bottom.

    Browning: We browned scallops to give an indication on how evenly the frypan can brown foods. Those scoring Excellent can brown food evenly; those scoring Poor could not brown foods evenly.
