The perfect pan does not exi-- just kidding. It does. This is the one. It is non stick AND non toxic. Who can do better than that?
It is perfect for our family's morning eggs. I can just about wipe out the pan with a paper towel after and its clean and ready to go.
The Halo LaserDefense frying pan is THE pan to have in your home. Absolutely NOTHING sticks to it it cooks evenly and it's heavy duty.
The first thing I put this bad boy to work was chicken fried rice and it was amazing! The eggs didn't stick the chicken didn't stick nor did the rice. It's easy to clean and I love the small touch but a solid handle. This is the perfect pan for anything!
I absolutely love this pan! My husband and I only use stainless steel and cast iron to cook typically so this nonstick pan was new for both of us and we have mostly been cooking breakfast in it.
It does not stick at all especially when cooking eggs which was an issue with our stainless steel pans and the cleanup is so easy!

*Than leading competitor ceramic nonstick in a food release test performed at 220°C/430°F, and leading competitor ceramic nonstick in staining and metal utensil tests performed at 200°C/390°F.
What makes Halo better than other ceramic nonstick cookware?
Halo is engineered to solve the durability issues most ceramic cookware faces. Its exclusive LaserDefense™ micro-dot matrix reinforces the ceramic surface to protect against chips, cracks, flakes, stains, scratches, and heat degradation—something other ceramic pans simply don’t have.
It also stands up to high heat, hot oil, and burnt-on food, all while delivering smooth, reliable food release and fast, even heating. With its heavy-gauge construction, flush rivets, vented lids, and PFAS-free** ceramic coating, Halo is ceramic made the Circulon way—finally tough enough for everyday cooking.
**Product design does not involve intentionally adding to the interior coating these materials, which may otherwise be present in the environment.
What kind of utensils can I cook with?
Halo is tested with metal utensils and proven to endure thanks to its reinforced LaserDefense™ ceramic surface and laser-etched micro-dot matrix that minimize scratches, abrasions, and surface wear. That said, choosing to cook with silicone, wood, and nylon tools will help extend the cookware’s durability and keep your Halo performing at its best.
Do I need oil or butter?
Halo gives you the flexibility to cook the way you like—with or without added oil. Halo’s ceramic nonstick delivers smooth, reliable food release, so you can cook with little to no oil or butter if you choose. That said, using a small amount of fat can enhance browning and flavor.
The color is beautiful - will it stain?
Halo’s finish is designed to stay beautiful. The LaserDefense™ ceramic surface is 6× more stain resistant* than leading ceramic competitors, helping it resist discoloration from sauces, oils, and everyday cooking.
While all light-colored ceramics can show residue over time, Halo is engineered to wipe clean easily and maintain its creamy, monochromatic look meal after meal.

Can I put this in the dishwasher? Is it easy to clean?
Circulon Halo is engineered to handle everyday cleanup with ease. Its LaserDefense™ ceramic surface is our most durable ceramic nonstick yet, so food releases effortlessly and wipes clean without scrubbing. And when you want to toss everything in the dishwasher, you can—Halo is built to withstand it, day after day.
What is the maximum heat I can use?
Halo cookware is oven safe up to 500°F, and its glass lids are safe up to 350°F. On the stovetop, it’s designed to handle high-heat cooking without degrading the ceramic surface, but for the best long-term performance, we recommend cooking with medium heat.
Is it safe to use on induction cooktops?
Yes, Halo is fully induction-suitable. Its heavy-gauge aluminum construction is bonded with an induction-ready base, so it heats quickly and evenly on all cooktops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.
What is the warranty for Halo with LaserDefense?
