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

How many quarts is this 13 inch nonstick stir-fry pan with helper handle. I will appreciate it if you can tell me to help me decide if this is something I need. Thank you.
Approximately 6 quarts.
Would this pan be similar to a Wok? Does it come with a lid?
Hello Dawn, great question. The short answer - YES! Our 13.25" stir fry is designed to offer a versatile, large format nonstick pan. While some woks have a round bottom, our ScratchDefense stir fry has a flat bottom to provide maximum stability on the stovetop, with the added benefit of fast, induction ready performance. People also love that you can place this ScratchDefense stir fry into the oven at 400ºF, thanks to the durable nonstick and high heat safe silicone handle.
Will you be coming up with a dome lid for 13-Inch ScratchDefense Nonstick StirFry with Helper Handle?
We're delighted to report that our Product Development team is currently working on adding Individual Lids to our product catalog, based on customer feedback like yours. Unfortunately, at this time these are not available.
Will you be coming up with 10 qt pot and a 14 inch wok for the A1 Series?
Belinda, I can't spill the beans or stir the pot TOO much but we may have an exciting new 14" ScratchDefense Wok on it's way this year! At this time, we have no plans for a 10-Quart Stock Pot, but I will pass this along to our product team. Input like yours is what has helped shape Circulon cookware for almost 40 years. We thank you for your interest in ScratchDefense.
