Reviews
Great set of frying pans!
"I purchased a set of the C1 cookware for our home a while back and loved it so much that I bought a set of these A1 frying pans for our office. We have a small induction cooktop that we use to cook on, mainly breakfast (yes, eggs), so I thought these would be a good addition. They heat up fast, easy to clean, lightweight and non-stick too boot! What's not to love? The price point is good (especially if you catch them on sale) and the quality is awesome! Great job Circulon! I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a really nice medium and small frying pan."

Amazing quality

New cookware
"After researching various cookware brands, I selected Circulon 10 piece set, and so far I am totally satisfied! I couldn’t justify $600+ for pots and pans, but this set met all the criteria and reviews convinced me to make the purchase. They cook evenly and clean up as easily as advertised. Happy with my choice!"
"I love everything about this pan especially the anodized hi-lo pan bought 1, I can use a metal spoon, and stove to oven. Washes up easily, handle is perfect doesn't get hot no need to grab with a pot holder while cooking. I also bought 2/ A-1 scratchDefense pans ,the beginning of a great collection."
Great Cookware
"I have had my cookware set for about 2 months and I'm loving them so far. I like the weight of them it makes them feel like they are not cheap. I love the fact that they hold head after turning the burner off. I would recommend this set to anyone looking for a nice set of pans that don't break the bank."
Perfect
"We are enjoying the pans for their strength & ease in use. Husband proof so far"
