Reviews

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!"

Lynette C. (5/5)

"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."

VIRGINIA (5/5)

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."

Shannon S. (4/5)

The Perfect Pan

"I was looking for a 14-inch flat frying pan that was dishwasher safe. I wasn't sure that I would like the "wok" shape, but it has met my needs perfectly! And it comes out of the dishwasher in beautiful shape. I love this pan!"

Christine B. (5/5)

"I Love all my new pans! The oven proof one that I can do one pan meals in is great. I’ve used it several times and cleanup is super easy. The Wok is amazing. It has a flat bottom so I have used it to shallow fry as well as stir fry. It makes great omelets. The mini 6. 25 skillet is perfect for 2 eggs cooked to perfect and no sticking. It’s huge so you can stir fry a lot of food. I have the 8. 5” and the 10” skillets too and I use them amost daily. They look classy so I keep them out on a shelf so they are easy to use, clean and put away quickly! We are calling these our Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts!"

Susan (5/5)

Quality pots, and pans

"They’re a little heavy, but I love the way they cook. Nothing seems to burn. The only complaint I would have is the two pots both have Pour spouts. This eliminates using it to steam like rice. So I bought one without the pour spout ."

linda s. (5/5)

Great nonstick, but comes with dents. . .

"These are great nonstick pans but when I unpacked them I had I bent pan, and 3 dented lids. Even though the box they came in had no damage. Straightened them out and they work great though!"

Kenneth K. (4/5)

Excellent Frying Pan

"I do a lot of frying and I've bought many frying pans over the years including some of the expensive ones. I've been using this pan for about a month and I can already tell that it is going to last a long time. The scratch defense nonstick works great and you can tell it's a hard coating that isn't coming off. The pan heats up slowly and evenly. I put the burner on 6 to heat it up and then turn it down to 4 or 5 to cook. I'm very glan to have discovered this pan as I usually wear out most pans within 6 months."

brian w. (5/5)

Really nice cookware

"This is my third set of circulon as we have two houses and an rv. This is the only set I have that has the scratch defense and love it. In our second home, we would have guests that would use our cookware and use metal utensils to cook with, I’m so glad to try these out with those guests who visit and instead of using the silicone utensils use the metal. I do like the way they cook!"

Ainslie V. (5/5)

Great Quality

"Great quality and durability. I had Circulon pots that lasted me almost 30 years so I was sure I would not be disappointed."

Q&A

Greetings, This set that you have has a 5.6L stockpot that I would like to purchase separately. The other pots and pans in that set can be bought individually, except that one. I already have the other ones and I've no need to get more of the same ones. Can you provide a way for us to purchase the 5.6L stockpot please?
Unfortunately, the 5.6L stockpot from the 9-Piece A1 ScratchDefense™ Nonstick Cookware Set is not available for purchase separately.
Does the lid for the 6 quart stockpot fit the 3 quart sauce pan in the A1 series?
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the 10 inch lid will properly fit the stockpot and 3 quart sauté pan.
Sorry I’ve sent so many questions but I been looking and so far this is the only cookware I haven’t bought yet. But don’t you think you need to update your ad since the free metal utensils with purchase expired in July of this year?
Hello Peggy, Sorry for any confusion! This promotion is not currently running. However our complementary 3-Piece tool set promotion with the purchase of our 8 & 9-Piece ScratchDefense™ cookware sets, may be offered in January. 🤫
Will the tops to any of the other pans in this set fit the 3qt sauté pan?
Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes! The 10 inch lid (stockpot lid) will properly fit the 3 quart sauté pan. We hope this information is helpful.
What is the diameter of the sauté pan?
Thank you for your inquiry. The diameter of the sauté pan is approximately 10 inches.
