Set name: Skillet (12")
This has been an excellent everyday frying pan and one that I reach for constantly. The first thing that stands out is how evenly it heats. It distributes heat well across the surface, which helps food cook consistently without hot spots. Once it heats up, it maintains temperature nicely, making it easier to control cooking compared to thinner pans. The nonstick surface performs very well. Food releases easily, and cleanup is quick and simple. I have not needed to soak it at all, even after regular use, which is a big benefit for a pan used this often. The overall construction feels solid and durable. The handle is comfortable and easy to control, even when the pan is full. With proper care, it has held up very well and still looks great despite frequent use. I do only use nonstick-safe utensils and hand wash it, and that has helped maintain the surface over time. What I like: Even heat distribution with consistent cooking Effective nonstick performance Very easy to clean Durable construction that holds up with regular use Comfortable, well-designed handle Great value for the quality Things to be aware of: Avoid metal utensils to protect the coating Hand washing helps maintain the nonstick surface Overall: This is a high-quality nonstick pan that performs reliably and holds up well over time when properly cared for. It is a great everyday piece that balances performance, durability, and value. I would definitely consider purchasing more from this line.

I originally ordered the 10” pan and it arrived with one side dented badly. I returned it and then ordered the 12” pan because the 10” one was quite small inside. I’ve had the 12” pan now about a year and a half (possibly longer). It’s without a doubt the best non stick pan I’ve ever owned. I use the pan multiple times a week and the inside of the pan looks no different than when I bought it. It has no chips, scrapes, burned through areas or anything. I do only use silicone or wooden utensils with it and it’s always hand washed and dried. The handle is also in the same condition as new. I’ve used pans from T-Fal, KitchenAid, Calphalon, Cuisinart and various brands you’ll find at the big discount stores. I’d say none even come close to this when considering the non stick aspect. Generally not much will stick, but of course things will a little no matter what you’re using. But the clean up on this Circulon pan is great. Usually anything will just wash out and at most I’ll soak it on the stove top with some soap and water after things like messy burgers with some cheese. I’ve never once had a tough time cleaning the pan. Honestly they way I normally go through a “nonstick” pan I’m shocked just how good this coating is. It really does look like it did when it was new. So the only real knock I have on this pan is the outside, or at least the sides. The paint they use it either pretty thin or just not very durable. As I said I always hand washed and the pan is basically put away in a cupboard immediately after. I take good care not to bang them around and while they’re not dented, the paint on the outside has quite a lot of scuffing. Idk if that’s just from some knocking around in the sink or what but it’s not the best. This issue started pretty early on and just gradually increased. The bottom where it’s all metal is fine other than usual discoloration from the flat top stove which you’d expect. So if they had a better paint or powder coating (not sure which is used here) this would be a 10 star pan. With that issue said it’s still beyond a 5 star pan for me just because of the phenomenal performance and life span I’m getting out of it. So this is my personal review and opinions on this pan having owned and used it for a long time now. As a side note I also have one of the pots of the same series in the 3qt variety and I’m experiencing the same results on nonstick with that, but the outside still looks great likely because it’s smaller to handle and I usually wash, dry and store on the back of the stove.

Set name: Saute (5 Quart)
This large nonstick pan is awesome. The fasteners on both sides are also coated with the nonstick surface, so nothing sticks to them either. It looks really nice and is very large (a picture with a standard size spatula is included for size reference; the spatula looks small because the pan is large). It has a thick bottom, which is nice and flat (I'm definitely going to be careful to avoid rapid temperature changes, especially hot to cold, so it doesn't get warped). It works great on my induction cook top and heats evenly (see the picture with the boiling water). When I upgraded to an induction, I had to replace my old nonstick pan, which was also a Circulon, because the old one wasn't the right kind of metal to work on induction. After having two Circulon pans I use often, I highly recommend Circulon.

I have 3 fry pans and one soup pot in circulon A1. These are absolutely the best nonstick cooking pans I have ever had. Very scratch resistant and nonstick even with little to occasionally no oil or fat in the pan. Handles are great. Price is completely reasonable for such good cookware. Cleans up very easily. I love 'em.

So as usual I wasnt sure if the reviews were huge or actually real. So we have been cooking with these for a couple months now and we really lime them. It says you dont have to use oil. We do use olive oil. But nothing seems to stick and the pans look great. The pot is nice with the strainer in the lid. Nothing bad to say about these. They are dishwasher safe too. Also they are of heavy materials. They take a little longer to heat up BUT the heat is even.

Set name: Cookware Set (9-Piece)
Love these pots and pans. The only brand I found that customer reviews didn’t say the handles get hot to the touch. The anodized aluminum black color on the inside and gray exterior look great. The no stick surface lives up to its reputation. However, the ridges on the bottom make a loud noise when making scrambled eggs and it drives my wife crazy ( the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5). Any residue left in the pan wipes out easily with a paper towel before washing by hand with a sponge. We haven’t tried the dish washer yet. I recommend buying the largest pan for stir frying (sold separately ), as the largest frying pan in the set is not large enough. The pans are made of thick durable anodized aluminum and they rate a 10 when tested for compatibility on our new induction stove. The pans heat evenly and quickly which is more a function of the stove. Bacon browns evenly from end to end at low heat setting. Water boils quickly at highest setting and slow boils when the heat setting is turned down to 4. The lids that come with the set have a unique strainer pattern at opposite ends of the lids (except the largest fry pan lid) so there is no need for a colander. The handles don’t get hot on the lids or pan due to the silicone construction and the handles are solidly attached to the pans so I don’t expect them to loosen over time which several other brand reviews complained about. We steam our vegetables but I couldn’t find an steamer insert that fits the large sauce pan anywhere online. I tried one made by Caraway but it was too large. Circulon should offer one that fits. Great value for the money and easy to use.

It was wrapped so safely and everything was perfect when it got here. It felt nice and these pans don’t get my potato’s stuck to the bottom. I love being able to use a pan and there isn’t food stuck to the bottom. These 3 sizes are perfect for what I need. I love the silicone handle and how this pan looks so sleek. I can’t wait to show off these pans to my family!

So far I am extremely happy with these fans! I believe I won't have to buy another pan like these ever again! I believe these will last long after I'm dead. Definitely worth the money. Nothing sticks especially if you know how to cook. The only thing I could say to be careful with is overheating these pans. Like any metal you get it hot enough it'll Warp. But I would highly recommend these pans
