Reviews

Cookware works great, even damaged

"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."

— JONATHAN Z. (4/5)

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)

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.
