Product Description

Coated inside and out with rugged nonstick, Circulon 2 cookware eliminates the chore of scrubbing pots and pans. Inside their bottoms, Circulon's patented Hi-Low system of concentric grooves creates narrow ridges to take utensil abuse, leaving low, wide grooves unscathed to readily release food and ensuring long life for the nonstick coating. Beneath the nonstick is harder-than-steel anodized aluminum. Pot and pan bottoms are left uncoated to conduct heat quickly and prevent hot spots. Slip-resistant synthetic grips on riveted, polished, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and go safely in an oven up to 350 degrees F. Heavyweight, 18/10 stainless-steel lids polished to a mirror finish present a gleaming contrast to the attractive, charcoal gray, enamel-like appearance of Circulon 2's nonstick exterior.

This 10-piece set outfits a kitchen with all essential pots and pans. It consists of 1-quart and 2-quart saucepans with lids; a 12-inch sauté pan with a lid; an 8-quart stockpot with a lid; and 8-inch and 10-inch skillets. The Hi-Low concentric grooves climb about an inch up the pots and pans' rounded sides, permitting thorough scraping without damaging the nonstick coating. Circulon 2 cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Works Great and YES, I Put Them In the Dishwasher

Review Date: March 4, 2004

Reviewer: ,

Original review submitted March 2004:
My husband and I bought this pan set about 6 months ago. I realize they are not suppose to be put into the dishwasher because they are hard anodized aluminum and the manufacturer recommends that we hand wash them; However, I don't live in the 1800s and don't have the time, nor the desire to scrub pots and pans! I have been putting them in the dishwasher under the normal wash cycle about 4-5 times a week. It doesn't appear that the dishwashing has harmed them, in any event, I figure I'll take my chances. In terms of cooking with them, they work absolutely great and I definitely recommmend this set. The only thing that bothers me about this product line is that the 10 pc set does not include a 1 1/2 qt covered saucepan, only the 12 pc set does. I can't even buy it separately either. Other then that, I have no complaints.

Update: June 2005 As I said in my original review submission, my husband and I have been putting them in the dishwasher to clean because we're lazy and willing to take risks. Now, over 1 1/2 years later from the time of purchase, they still "look" brand new but in terms of "use" they are beginning to stick a LITTLE. For example, when I now use a pan to make scrambled eggs in them the first set of eggs that I cook do not stick and turn out good, but the second set of eggs and any thereafter will need extra oil/butter in the pan to prevent them from sticking. So the dishwashing probably has effected the non stick coating on the pans, but barely. Aside from this issue, they still work GREAT! We still put them in the dishwasher to clean, and don't regret it one bit!

I have had the ten inch skillet for about six months and it is by far the best I have had in my thirty-five years of cooking. I overheat it. I catch it on fire. It looks like new. Non stick is fine. A teaspoon of oil and nothing (I mean nothing) will stick. Circulon 2 is great stuff, period. I was so impressed, I wrote this.

Fantastic Value

After long research and many visits to different stores, I found the Circulon 2 10 piece set. This set offers everything I was looking for. It has the durability of being hard-adonized with a nicer look than some of the more expensive brands. Probably the best feature of this cookware set is the new non-stick that it has. Not only does food not stick to the pan when cooking but clean-up was an absolute breeze ( hand washed ). I highly reccomend this set, wether you are a novice in the kitchen or a seasoned home chef. You will find this great cookware.

My husband and I received this set 3 years ago as an engagement gift. We had picked out a different cookware set, but when I felt the weight of these, I knew they were quality and decided to keep them. I was also attracted to the look and design of these pots and pans. I am so happy with this set. The food cooks evenly, the pans wash up so easily, and they still look brand-new! The lids are easier to store, because they are slimmer, and they work very well, even if you want to tilt them a little to vent. This Circulon set has even survived my husband's many attempts to create his own recipes. We love these pots and pans.
