"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."
"These pans are awesome. I ordered these to supplement the larger set I bought. Unfortunately the packaging for these box free pans was not sufficient and the pans arrived bent. I reached out to customer service, sent a few pictures and not only did a new set arrive in a couple of days, but I could see they had fixed their packaging issue which had been evident in the pictures. Great company. Zero hassle dealing with them."
"Love these pans. Nothing sticks. They are solid but not too heavy and perfectly balanced and comfortable. Lids fit perfectly. They heat quickly and evenly on my induction cook top. NO hotspots whatsoever. Well packaged for shipping."
"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!"
"I’m very happy with these pans. I do wish they included a larger pan that fits 4 burgers and a lid that fits the small frying pan."
"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!"
"This pan will easily cook 5 pounds of sausage. I cook large batches of food for prep and this pan is great for that!"
"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!"
"We love our new Circulon cookware. Very good quality and clean up is unbelievable!"
"I'm really enjoying using my new Circulon set. They clean up nicely in the dishwasher and no food sticks! It seems to be very well made and is very sturdy but not too heavy."
