    • Pleasantly surprised
Size: 2 Quarts
I ordered this to replace a similar, but ageing, Farberware pot that had the regular non-stick coating. The straining feature is good for pasta and other things, but I primarily used it for cooking rice, since the lid fit snugly and tended not to drip for that last phase with the fire turned off. When the Circulon arrived, I noticed the tolerance on the lid fit was much greater, and it also had a pouring spout on each side that could allow a bit more steam to escape. I almost returned it, but I decided I would just use it for other things than rice. I tried the rice, though, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it cooked the rice just fine. Moreover, the new kind non-stick construction is amazing! It really does clean up easily, and it's tough. The "coating" seems to be more integrated into the metal, rather than just an applied substance that can scratch off. I probably will minimize the use of metal utensils with it, but it seems strong enough to handle it. I just ordered a Circulon fry pan, and I may eventually replace all my stovetop pans with this brand. ... show more

    • Best pot ever
Size: 8 Quarts
The quality is top tier 👌. This pot is deep, it holds more than I expected. It is anti scratch, any utensils can be used in it, no problems. Got my moneys worth.

    • great sauce pan, very versatile
Size: 3 Quarts
I've been using this sauce pan regularly for several months now. It has a very nice depth to it and the non stick makes cleanup a breeze. The lid lets you strain out liquid with built in big and small holes - I often use this pot to cook pasta or ground meat and then use the lid to strain out the liquid. Quite handy. Even though it's dishwasher safe, I typically hand wash the pot since it's non stick and super easy to clean. I do put the lid in the dishwasher though. So far no scratches and pot still looks great after months of constant use. ... show more

    • Great non-stick, light weight yet cooks evenly and heats fast
Size: 3 Quarts
Great non-stick - just the right weight. I don't like the very heavy pots and pans in fashion now - these are so easy to lift.

    • Love Circulon
Size: 3 Quarts
I started ordering lighter weight pots last year because I gave my whole Circulon set from the 90’s to my son for his apt. I started using a copper bottom set that I had. Got them as a gift few years ago . I used them about 2 yrs, until October or November 2023. I finally said “no more” - too heavy and pesky to clean the copper bottoms. Last year I bought some Calphalon & some All-Clad anodized aluminum pots. I like them but I needed some smaller size pots and went back to Circulon. I received them this past week , 2 qt & the 3 quart size sauce pot! A little bit heavier than the other brands, but strong! I love them. I’ve never had a problem with any non-stick Anodized pots. The problems people are complaining about with any brand of these aluminum non stick pots, usually because of not following directions on usage. I never put them in the dishwasher. I never NEVER USE METAL UTENSILS. I never start them on a hot heat. I always start them on low heat until the pot heats up, then I turn dial up. I find that I can fry and boil water on a medium heat very quickly with these pots. I have no problem with the glass covers they are glass! you cannot put glass in a cold sink or under cold water when hot. That would be like washing your car in 90° weather and you get a crack in your windshield. Both of these smaller pots came in from two different locations. one from California one from the New York facility. neither one of them was damaged at all. they are beautifully made and if they are not abused, you’ll have them forever. like I said, it was only a couple of years ago that I gave my son my whole Circulon set that I bought back in the 90s. He loves them! ... show more

    • Seemed pretty good, but some things lacking
Size: 3 Quarts
Overall, it's a good pot, but the scratch defense language seems a little overblown. It is still affected by wooden chopsticks (i.e. leaves visible marks), though haven't tried with wider tools, like wooden spoons and wide wood spatulas. Overall, would have like more durability from an "A1" product, but Circulon is also known as a mid-tier brand overall anyways. I do like the patterning on the bottom, and the lid is very functional. Size is shorter and wider than I'd prefer, but then again the Analon pot I replaced with this is no longer manufactured, and that warranty replacement pot they sent was not better than this one. ... show more

    • Circulon is the best.
Size: 3 Quarts
Love, love, love this saucepot. I received 2 Circulon frying pans for Christmas and love them. When my Calphalon saucepan started wearing out, I knew I wanted to get this one & it is just a little larger which is what I needed. I highly recommend. So easy to clean & no sticking.

    • Useful size with draining ability.
Size: 2 Quarts
Perfect size for 2 of us. Love the ability to drain through the lid. We use it a lot. It looks durable and I think it will last a long time.
