Great cookware set!

"I’ve had Circulon for years and decided it was time for me to get the Circulon cookware that could go in the dishwasher. I was able to get 30 percent or more off the cost of my order and now I’m loving my new pots and pans. To complete my set, I also ordered the 10 quart soup pot. Great choices and the only cookware for me, Circulon."

Q&A

Will the scratch defense A1 series kid fit the this pan
The diameter of the sauté pan is approximately 10 inches. The lid is 12 inches.
Can Circulon be used on gas stoves? I was told that’s why I have to replace mine so often because they should not be used on gas burners?
The Circulon ScratchDefense collection is suitable for use on induction stovetops, it is also suitable for use on glass, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops.
Does Circulon make a Wok?
Hi Peggy! Yes, in fact Circulon were a pioneer in designing and engineering the first flat-bottom wok - an important feature providing safety and comfort when cooking. In addition, the flat bottom wok ensures high-heat conduction particularly when cooking on induction. You can take a look at our wok options [HERE](https://circulon.com/search?q=wok&type=product).

Thank you for reaching out to us. The overall depth is approximately 4-inches.
