Healthier CookingCirculon is dedicated to helping consumers lead a healthier lifestyle through fat-free healthy cooking. Our TOTAL Non-Stick System allows for cooking with little to no oil. | Dishwasher SafeUnlike ordinary hard-anodized pans, Circulon features a non-stick exterior. Not only does this make cleanup a snap, but it also means that the pan also won’t stain, scratch or chip so your Circulon cookware will look beautiful for years to come. | PFOA FreeThe Circulon total non-stick system is completely safe and non- toxic. We only use non-stick technologies to make PTFE non-stick without PFOA. |
TOTAL Nonstick System
Circulon features the technologically advanced, TOTAL Non-stick System which combines a relaxed Hi-Low wave technology with one of the most durable non-stick coatings available.
Food cooks and releases on the entire surface of the pan. The raised circles on the “Hi” area allow a fraction of the cooking surface to take all of the abuse of utensils, protecting the majority of the cooking surface on the “Low” area from abrasion. The result of this has been enhanced cooking performance and non-stick durability.

I like these pans. They are a good value propositio
Purchased to replace a similar set of Circulon pans which after 10 years of service were a little less non stick. Nice to have fully non stick pans again.
I absolutely love these pans. Perfectly nonstick. Great heat distribution as well. Please remember not to use metal implements to help your pans last a long time.
This is the second set of pans I have purchased. They hold up well. I love them!
Good solid saucepans as expected and would have given 5 stars but for a couple of things. The lids can get very hot so you must use a n oven cloth and the largest pan is very heavy, if like me you are a bit arthritic it is hard to lift when full. These were purchased to replace earlier circulon pans and to match some others in the infinite range.
So I got this set of pans in the Amazon sale for a very, very low price so I may be somewhat biased to these. I’m not sure if I had paid the full price I would be as enamoured with them as I am today however I will try to keep the retail price in mind when reviewing.
First off the pans are sublime looking, I think they look great in the Anodised Black and Silver Handles. They look very professional and with them you can pretend you know what you are doing in the kitchen and impress your friends and neighbours.
the box they come in is pretty standard and absolutely nothing of note. I was expecting these to come in a high end box but it’s really not impressive at all. Go to your local cookware store and any panset box you see on the shelf is the same as this one. We didn’t buy the pans for the box of course but thought I would mention it.
The feel of the pans is great. They have a nice finish to them and as mentioned look great. They are really, really heavy though. I’m not joking, if you fill them with water to boil something they feel like you are lifting a cast iron girder. OK, so maybe not that heavy but the biggest pot, when making soup I HAVE to use two hands to lift it, same with the medium pan when it’s full. If you have weaker wrists be very careful of these. I am also very careful when placing them on the induction hob as I would imagine it would be very easy to smash the glass with one of these.
With all the heft though comes excellent thermal performance. I haven’t gone and got a heat gun and measured it or anything but when used on my induction hob, with the lid on the pot I can boil a litre of water almost as fast as I can with the kettle. Maybe I should do the experiment on that one? The heat seems to be nice and evenly spread too, so no obvious hotspots or anything like that.
The non-stick is absolutely brilliant, even after about 6 months or so. One of the pans looks like the non-stock is degrading a little but it’s still super easy to clean, with some Fairy Platinum these wash off in seconds no matter what have cooked in them. Don’t be afraid of the ridges on the bottom, they aren’t canyons by any means so food does not get stuck in there whatsoever. I ONLY hand was these pots, they have never seen the inside of the dishwasher. I also ONLY use wooden or rubber utensils so as to take care of the non-stick surface and maintain the lifetime guarantee, which is yet to be tested.
If I have an experience with the LTG I will update the review accordingly.
Some negatives to mentions I suppose, to keep a balance n all that.
The weight is an issue and will be a real drawback to some. I see that the benefits outweigh this but for some it may be a complete deal breaker.
The frying pan has a small chip on it where I knocked it with one of the other pans when putting it away so it’s durability is in question although it’s not impacted the performance of the pan at all.
They are expensive, even with the LTG they cost lots. I would have been happy to have paid full price I think, but I didn’t so can’t be sure. The value to you will have to be something you judge for yourself.
Overall I highly recommend these, even at their high price. If the LTG is worth the paper these are printed on then so long as you follow the guidance for using and maintaining these then it’s a one time purchase of a set of pots which will last you a lifetime.
They cook wonderfully and look great, a real compliment to your kitchen and will of course boost your cooking skills by at least 92%*
I would buy them again should I have the need, but hopefully that LTG is good and I won’t need to, maybe as a gift or something.
*92% cooking claim is based purely on fiction and was entirely made up based on no facts at all. Cooking skill depends entirely on how many episodes of Hell’s Kitchen you have watched and how fancy your cooking knives are.
These are fabulous pans that aren’t cheap, but so far are well worth the money. They look really stylish and everything cooks in them well. They clean easily too either in the sink or dishwasher. They are quite heavy pans so they are very sturdy and feel so much more reliable than the cheap ones where the handles were wobbly that I was using previously.
They are really good pans. I certainly will not be buying different brands in the future.
These pans are really sturdy and easy to clean. I bought them because I have a new induction hob and they work really well on this hob. I was very pleased with this set.
Got these at Xmas on a lightning deal. Having bought a tefal set at around half the price not so long ago and being disappointed with the size and quality of those, these are a completely different story. They are really well made, great sizes and super solid. They are dishwasher safe and can be used in the oven. They take a bit longer to heat due to the thickness of the metal. I cooked scrambled eggs in one pot and it cleaned off with no issues at all, so the non stick is really good too. Well impressed
Really good quality pans, easy to clean and a pleasure to cook with. They are slightly heavier than the average pan, but the handles are sturdy and the biggest pan has a handle opposite which allows you to carry it more easily when full. Very good value as I bought these in the sale, but I would happily buy more at full price.
These pans are wonderful, I’m so glad I treated myself to them. Non-stick is faultless, great distribution of heat from the very heavy bases, and they’re super-easy to keep clean with no difficult nooks and crannies where food can be difficult to reach. Highly recommended. I guess they’ll outlive me!
One week since I purchased these and so impressed I sent off for the baking sheets/pans. Lovely to use.
Pros good sturdy non stick pans and Frying pan. 10 year guarantee ,only time will tell if in 6 months still as good.
Cons heavy compared to other pans
I am buying my third set in 10 years because of the induction hob. That is not to say there is anything wrong with these pots – they are among if not the best on the market. The problem is induction. If you want to have them last longer then you MUST NOT use them on top induction setting – it is three times hotter than any other cooking surface and will damage everything. So never more than 7 (out of 9 on mine) and that only for boiling water. If you do go over 7 expect to have to replace them every two to three years and loose the non stick immediately. My first set used on the gas hob lasted solid 10 yrs. I would also recommend not pouring cold water into hot pan, hand washing and definitely using wood or plastic utensils, not metal ones.
I have been searching for a while for good quality Saucepans at a reasonable price and came across this deal, ABSOLUTE Bargain”
The pans are really well made and noting seems to stick to them , I definitely recommend them
Really nice pans, i have only been using them a week but no issues so far. They are good non stick, only small amount of oil needed to cook with and three very good sized pans that come with sturdy metal lids. They can all be used in an oven as well which is great as that was something i wanted.
They take a bit longer to heat up than my previous pans but that is due to them being thicker and better material and it doesn’t take that much longer. They spread heat evenly. Overall really good set of pans so far. Very happy.
I like that these work on my new induction hob because that’s why I bought them. I dislike that the supplier of my new induction hob didn’t tell me that a starter pack would be supplied with my hob. So now I have two 4 part sets of new pans for my induction hob. Be aware that if your buying a new induction hob, ASK YOUR SUPPLIER , DO ANY PANS COME WITH IT. Trust me, that small question could save you money. I would return my bought set but I have no clue how to fit them back into the box, it’s a bit like a test on the crystal maze. Oh yes they are lovely but quite heavy, if you have a limp wrist look elsewhere or use two hands.
Excellent just as described, worked well on my induction hob, whereas the Ultimum didn’t work so well
Really pleased with these pans – amazing none stick – prefer glass lids but have kept old ones that still fit
Take a bit to get upto heat but once they do it’s low heat cooking all the way. Sturdy build
I love these pans. They are deeper than I thought and heavy, very heavy. Good solid product.
Purchased these pans in early 2017 based on the helpful reviews I read at the time. Two years on I wanted to take the time to find the order details and provide a review as these have proven to be an excellent purchase. I recall they were fairly expensive at the time compared to some other pan sets on the market, but I have been delighted and consider it money very well spent. Regular daily use has left them still looking excellent. They are very easy to clean and whilst being fairly heavy, they are robust and look almost as good as new. I anticipate they will serve me well for many years to come. One of the best purchases for my kitchen I have ever made, highly recommended.
amazing quality, look no further, the only set you will probably need
After buying cheaper non stick pans over the years and having to replace, I thought I would treat myself and go for something way over what I would normally pay but am so glad I did, I use these pans everyday and they look as good as the day I bought them, the non stick is fantastic, a quick wash in soapy water and they’re spotless inside and out, they may be a tad heavy for some people but the handles are strong and sturdy and you are able to get a good grip on them, the handles do occasionally get warm but I’m still able to handle them, would definately recommend and would also buy as a gift or more for me if needed
i would recommend these pans just for the ease of cleaning
These are the best pans I’ve ever bought. (also most expensive) Worth every penny. They retain heat evenly and are completely non stick. Washing up is so easy, they’re washed & rinsed in seconds. They are a bit heavy but they are a quality item.
I bought these pans 18 months ago. I didn’t want to write a review straight away as wanted to give them a proper try as they are a fairly expensive purchase for someone.
I love them. They are still non-stick. They are not scratched although I do have felt pan protectors in between them when they are in the cupboard. They are quite heavy especially the large one when filled with water. Two hands are needed but it has the handy handle at front of the large saucepan.
I have an electric hob and they take a little while to reach temperature as they are so thick but one they are hot they retain the heat and you can turn it off and it stays cooking for a while.
I don’t put them in the dishwasher so don’t know how they would cope but they are very easy to hand wash due to the non-stick coating the food does not need scraping off.
When these wear out I will buy them again but they may well out live me!
Anyhow, I wish others didn’t have to go through that but instead invest in the superb quality and functionality of these beautifully designed pots.
I have a saucepan, which I have purchased separately, so had a chance to test it and I must say that making just scrambled eggs was never so fun! The non stick feature is trully genius, way more advanced than any other “non stick” ones. So next I got the set of 3 pots + 1 pan, they arrived quickly and no issues with the packaging. Perfect timing as big dinner to prepare this weekend. Aha! Working excellent on induction hob and dishwasher safe, a winner!
LOVE these pans. They take a while to heat up but are perfect none stick and very durable.
I could kick myself for not buying these a long time ago.
Always buying this range but overtime I forget to look after it properly. With a bit of care it could last for much longer then in my kitchen. Simply brilliant, especially the Infinite range!
Best set of pans I’ve ever had. Some other brands advertise non stick and this is true up until they start to lose their coating after a few months. These however just keep going.
One thing to bare in mind is they are heavy. I think there should be a campaign to add an event into the worlds strongest man competition to lift a Circulon wok with a large stir fry in it.
They work flawlessly with my induction hob too.
Although expensive, when you find yourself in unfortunate situation of it being ‘your turn of doing the dishes tonight’ you’ll know you’ve made the right choice.
EXCELLENT PIECE OF KIT ! I used to work in a quality homeware dept . This was the best. Many yrs ago I invested in expensive cast-iron pans which at the time were the best & are still in fab condition. However tech has moved on. These pans have fantastic heat transference (turn down your energy source),but especially these pans have exceptional non-stick qualities.
Recommended these by a Jamie Oliver chef, and I’m really pleased with them so far. Even better that I found that they were an Amazon deal right when I wanted to buy them.
Love and does exactly what it says on the tin!
Arrived within 2 days and is a nice addition to the kitchen.
Always go for this make of pans I bought them for my daughter so happy with the speedy delivery too
Well made, clear lettering and leaves no doubt as to where my bins live for when they are emptied and returned, read the instructions.
So far so good. Worth paying that bit extra for quality!
These are really good. Anti-stick coating, advertised as free from noxious chemicals, seems to be both very durable and very effective. Easiest thing in the world to clean. Nice deep pots and a very useful size and configuration of pan. Excellent, solid quality, thoughtful design and construction all round. I love a good, old fashioned cast-iron pan and have never liked any of the non-stick pots and pans that have blighted my kitchen cupboards over the past 25 years. These, however, are in a class of their own; they cover all the stovetop cooking jobs for which the cast iron isn’t the perfect tool.
These extremely heavy cast iron pans are exactly as required
Beautifully designed, balanced pans. Really non-stick and easy to care for. My only criticism is that it would be impossible to stack these with the lids inverted but that’s a minor niggle.
Well made, sturdy and really non-stick. Would recommend them highly, especially as the metal handles on the lids don’t seem to get particularly hot.
Unreal pans. No need to say more. They’re an absolute bargain at the reduced price I got them at.
They’re very good pans! Easy to clean! They look nice.
Look to be really good and hard wearing. Seem Mary Berry using them so must be good.
Received promptly, well packed, good strong saucepans, would recommend to anybody.
I only got them few weeks ago but used them few time and have to say so far so good. Haven’t had any problems and they dishwasher safe so extra bonus. They seem to be good quality pots and not flimsy like other cheap brands so if you looking for good quality, healthy every day pots give it a try. I recommend it.
I absolutely love these pans. Used most days since delivery. Nothing sticks to them and a quick hand wash after use and look like new again. Handles are riveted and they do get a tad warm but oven gloves solves that problem. Nice thick base and even cooking. Much better items than those replaced. I am now looking for a larger frying pan.
This cookware set was a present for a family member and they are absolutely delighted with the quality of the set. Will be buying more from the Circulon range.
Bought this as a Christmas present from my Granddaughter because I already own a set and they are the best pots I’ve ever had.
Best cooking pans I’ve ever had!Recommended for induction hob. Easy to clean.
It’s worth investing a bit more in this saucepans – brilliant. Great for cooking and easy cleaning
Excellent product and great value for money for what you get.
Superb high quality pans – brilliant on our induction hob.
Perfect for induction hob, dishwasher safe and food does not get stuck at all.
Very high quality – it’s easy to see why these are so popular. They are very heavy, which is great for cooking.
best pans money can buy nothing ever sticks very easy to clea
Just a fantastic set of pans. I wasted 75 on some Stellar Easi store pans, lots of stuff stuck to them, such as eggs, cous cous, rice, I gave them to the local charity shoes.These pans are great, the lids get very warm but you can still handle them without protection whilst cooking, they are heavy, superb build quality, the fit of the lids is great and they are extremely easy to clean.I treated them by rubbing some vegetable oil over the non stick surface as recommended and nothing has stuck to them. No vents in the lids but that is good as I am now using lower temperatures and cooking times have been reduced. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this set, they are top class, best set i have ever owned. Buy with confidence.
We bought these having tried the Wok which we were very happy with and decided to go for the whole set. They are on the heavy side but they are very good
Arrived on time and seem very god but too early to say
These are fantastic pans, quite heavy but clean easily. I really like them
Lovely pans – nothing seems to stick after cooking – easy to clean – they are fairly heavy to carry but not as heavy as my Le Creuset pans which they replaced. However, the lids get very hot to handle when cooking – hence I marked them down to 4 sta
Great set of pans purchased when we had our kitchen renovated. We opted for an induction hob being quick and efficient. Had some circulon pans before which were great but that weren’t suitable for induction hobs, use in the dishwasher or with metal utensils so was pleased to find this set for the induction hob that were also dishwasher safe and for use with metal utensils. They are great pans but as they have cast iron bottoms are on the heavy side especially the large one once it’s full of potatoes etc! They clean up really well both in the dishwasher and by hand and look very smart. This set includes a frying pan but its quite small at 24 cm and only fits 3 fried eggs so we ordered a larger one in addition. Would highly recommend.
Good quality pots that have seen a lot of use.
Lovely set, good to look at and easy to clean, with a really heavy base for even cooking. If you have strength or mobility issues, the pans could be difficult to manoeuvre, say when draining vegetables. Handles and lids get hot.
Excellent pans. I am hand washing these pans as they are so easy to clean and I have ruined other non-stick pans putting them in the dishwasher.
Just what I needed for my new induction hob. The pans are a good size, and I particularly like the extra hand grip on the big pan as they are heavy pans and not easy to handle when full.
Surely there must be SOMETHING wrong! Well two things actually.
1. They are quite heavy.
2. Some say the lids get too hot. (Although I have never found the need to use gloves).
Given what they do, for me, those are insignificant issues.
