"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 ordered a 10-piece Sratch Defense set that I've used a half-dozen times. Everything has performed very well. *One of the large lids was dented along the rim edge in the undamaged box, so that would mean it was dented at the production center and shipped anyway! I guess CIRCULON doesn't care enough to send out their best products as new."
"I bought Circulon cookware in the 70s when I moved out on my own. I tried every new “best” cookware that came along only to return to my Circulon. Today in 2026 Circulon stands alone in my kitchen as the best cookware available."
"I bought my first Circulon in 2018 and this was my second. Couldn't be happier with the quality, longevity, and amount of things you can use it for! Easy to clean and take care of, easy to cook with, and overall best quality for the affordable price. Highly recommend and will continue to build my collection."
"These pans are awesome. I ordered these to supplement the larger set I bought. Unfortunately the packaging for these box free pans was not sufficient and the pans arrived bent. I reached out to customer service, sent a few pictures and not only did a new set arrive in a couple of days, but I could see they had fixed their packaging issue which had been evident in the pictures. Great company. Zero hassle dealing with them."
"Love these pans. Nothing sticks. They are solid but not too heavy and perfectly balanced and comfortable. Lids fit perfectly. They heat quickly and evenly on my induction cook top. NO hotspots whatsoever. Well packaged for shipping."
"It's such a pleasure to not have excess food all over the stovetop. Just made a new dish, pasta shakshuka, worked beautifully. Bought so we could throw away our scratched pan."
"We find the pan to be of very good quality. Sturdy, but not too heavy. Cooks evenly with great heat dispersion. We love the silicone grips on the pan handles and lid. A competitor of theirs did not have this feature. The handles got extremely hot where you couldn't touch them. Returned. What we don't like about the Circulon are the grooves. Food builds up in those grooves and is difficult to remove without excessive scouring, which will ruin the surface of the pan over time. Made crepes in the pan one day, and yes, grooves in the crepes. Love the pan, if they were smooth. I say they, because there are two pots on this order as well. Loose the grooves!"
"I have been shopping and reviewing cookware for the past few years. This is it! Heats evenly and nothing sticks. Cleanup is fast and the pans look brand new."
"I love this pan. I've tried a ton of different brand pans in the last two years, and this has been the best!!!"
