Reviews

Great, but with a flaw.

"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!"

— Michael W. (4/5)

Love it!

"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!"

— Loretta T. (5/5)

Love this pan

"This pan will easily cook 5 pounds of sausage. I cook large batches of food for prep and this pan is great for that!"

— Cheri M. (5/5)

Dream cookware

"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!"

— Lisa J. (5/5)

"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."

— Janet W. (5/5)

— John P. (5/5)

"This is the 3rd times i bought this wok. I really like it a lot. I gave one to my friend and the other one i gave it to my mom"

— Caroline (5/5)

Great product

"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"

— fronie b. (5/5)

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."

— Dennis B. (5/5)
