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)

"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)
