My Circulon

"I enjoy my new set of cookware! I’m excited about cooking. I have to get more pots! A griddle and a roaster. It’s easy to clean and store. My food tastes really flavorful! I purchased a set for my daughterNlove. I hope she enjoys her set as much as I do mine. I have always used Circulon. It’s good quality! It lasts a very long time! Thank you Circulon for great cookware at an affordable price!"

— Renee B. (5/5)

Great cookware set!

"I’ve had Circulon for years and decided it was time for me to get the Circulon cookware that could go in the dishwasher. I was able to get 30 percent or more off the cost of my order and now I’m loving my new pots and pans. To complete my set, I also ordered the 10 quart soup pot. Great choices and the only cookware for me, Circulon."

— Barbara S. (5/5)

I wanted to make oatmeal with spending hours cleaning the pot

"It’s works!! I like to make oatmeal with milk. I had to spend hours cleaning the pot so I wanted something was nonstick saucepan that was small, heavy, durable and for sure nonstick. This saucepan fit the bill and I'm happy."

My A1 Scratch Defense Blows My Old Circulon Away!

"I love everything about my 12 piece set. I’ve never liked plastic utensils and I’m loving the freedom to use metal utensils without worrying about ruining the pans. The redesigned silicon handles are comfortable to grip and don’t have any hot spots. These pots and pans cook food beautifully and nothing seems to stick to them. Cleaning them is a breeze, too! I’m very happy with my purchase!"

I like Circulon ability to

"I like Circulon ability to cook evenly. Much better than any other pan I have had. It is a true delight. Needs a little spray so food doesn't stick."

— Dean S. (5/5)

Excellent cookware, do far.

"I have been researching non-stick, scratch resistant cookware for a long while. After much research and customer reviews, I decided on Circulon ScratchDefense. I have only used them a few times now, but I am quite impressed with their performance. Just as advertised! They are not bulky heavy, and food does not stick on the surfaces. They clean up very easily and look great. My wife commented on how light they are compared to our old set. I expect these to last quite a while, considering the quality feel and construction. Glad I made these my choice for non-stick, non-scratch cookware. Nice to be able to use a variety of utensils on them without fear of damaging them (PS: I mostly used acacia wood utensils, but occasionally have used steel also. )."

— Donald H. (5/5)

Definitely a non stick surface.

"Definitely a non stick surface. They're easy to clean and have some nice features. My wife likes the lids with the pour holes to drain water and i like the nice grippy handles. Im glad I bought them."

— Chad C. (5/5)

"The overall quality is amazing and the scratch defense surface is incredible. I have the Infinity pan and absolutely love it which led me to buy the 6-Piece set"

Q&A

Will the scratch defense A1 series kid fit the this pan
The diameter of the sauté pan is approximately 10 inches. The lid is 12 inches.
Can Circulon be used on gas stoves? I was told that’s why I have to replace mine so often because they should not be used on gas burners?
The Circulon ScratchDefense collection is suitable for use on induction stovetops, it is also suitable for use on glass, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops.
Does Circulon make a Wok?
Hi Peggy! Yes, in fact Circulon were a pioneer in designing and engineering the first flat-bottom wok - an important feature providing safety and comfort when cooking. In addition, the flat bottom wok ensures high-heat conduction particularly when cooking on induction. You can take a look at our wok options [HERE](https://circulon.com/search?q=wok&type=product).
What is the depth of the pan?
Thank you for reaching out to us. The overall depth is approximately 4-inches.
