"I picked up a single piece over 10 years ago and still like new with freq use. Was gifted another “nonstick” brand but began loosing coating in less than 1 year, I kept using till I made the leap to buy new of the single circulon that I have kept. Love them!"
"This pan will easily cook 5 pounds of sausage. I cook large batches of food for prep and this pan is great for that!"
"I never allowed myself really nice pots and pans because of the price, but finally splurged and bought three skillets, including the 5 qt. Sauce pan. I am so in love with them. They are amazing and so easy to clean up!"
"I'm really enjoying using my new Circulon set. They clean up nicely in the dishwasher and no food sticks! It seems to be very well made and is very sturdy but not too heavy."
"This is my first time buying these pots and pans and I’m really impressed food doesn’t stick washes easy and food doesn’t stick"
"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."
"This set of cookware has so far exceeded my expectations. Great purchase!"
"I had an allglad pan that I replaced with this pan It’s really nice not to have eggs stick"
"Very thick and durable pans, only complaint is the cheaply made lids, and they need to have a vent hole."
"We love this for frying bacon. It’s deep enough to help contain popping and splattering of grease. Love all of our Circulon cook ware."
