"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 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. )."
"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."
"Excellent cookware. Extremely easy to cook in and clean. Beautiful to look at. I love the 6. 25-inch skillet, perfect for one egg and extremely cute!! I’ve owned and used Circulon products most of my adult life, since it first came out. Only disappointment, no 1-qt saucepan."
"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 haven't had a chance to use the new cookware, but I have unpacked the box the cookware came in, and it was packed extremely well, and I am happy with the appearance of the new cookware."
"Love this line of pots and pans. These replaced ceramic ones I had that were not as nonstick as promised. So far I haven’t had to use any oil or cooking spray on these pans, and my food doesn’t stick."
