Review: Very high quality. Best ever! - Very high quality pan. It's heavy duty for sure. Pouring spaghetti sauce out of the pan doesn't run down the sides of the pan because it has a rounded lip. Handles for the pan and lid are covered by silicone, so no worry about getting burned. It cleans up very easily. If a pan has rivets on the inside surface of the pan, like this one does, it's hard to remove the eggs around the rivets. This pan doesn't have that problem. Eggs don't get stuck under the edges of the rivets!! If it's on sale, definitely buy it. Two thumbs up...way up. Review: Non stick, well built, should have bought another - So far this pan is not only worth it but it has beaten all expetations that I've had for its function. The picture you see was taken right after cooking breakfast. We have been using this pan for 5 weeks and using it multiple times a day. The egg still slides out. I'm sure you have gotten a new pan and its non stick seems to disappear after a few times of use. This is not the case with this pan. I've been waiting for the shoe to drop and I'm starting to think that maybe it will never loose its non stick properties. I guess time will tell. We have not used any medal spatulas because why risk. Its well built with a heat protection coating on the handle and attached with two rivets that go through the pan which makes it strong. The forked handle really helps it not become hot. It also has a small hanle on opposite side of the pan which helps to move the pan when its heavy with two hands. I melted cheese and wanted to show you that it didn't stick. The last picture was taken after the cheese melted and I lightly washed the pan with a paper towel and it looks great. I'll update this review in a few months and see where we are. I'm back after 4 months of daily use and pan is working justbas it has the first week. I was messing around with the idea of buying another pan that was $190.00 dollars but I can't imagine it being better than this one. Another update, I bought the expensive and beautiful pan that I was thinking of getting and the expensive pan does not function as well as this one does. Its shiny and beautiful but the non stick doesnt compare with this pan and we are now using this pan for maybe a year now, also I wish I had bought a second one but too much time has passed since I bought the expensive one. I can't imagine any 1 and 2 star reviews other then maybe defects. You will love this pan ## Features - EXTREME NONSTICK: Engineered not to scratch, our nonstick cookware set was lab-tested to last 15x longer than any prior generation of Circulon nonstick cookware and meets or exceeds FDA standards for food safety, so you can feel good about every dish - TAKE IT TO THE EDGE: Pots and pans set non stick with a thick, edge-to-edge steel base delivers fast, even heat and enhanced, warp-resistant stability from stove to oven. - FORM AND FUNCTION: Tempered-glass lid seals in heat and moisture to enrich foods with flavor.

It’s truly non-stick — I can cook with very little oil, which makes my meals much healthier. Fried rice comes out especially great in this pan — evenly cooked, nothing sticks, and cleanup is super easy. I previously had a smaller pan from the same brand and really liked it, but since my family is larger, I needed a bigger wok like this. It’s perfect for cooking larger portions, especially for dishes like fried rice. This is exactly what I was looking for — great quality and very practical. Definitely worth it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Technology Nonstick Induction Cookware/Pots and Pans Set, 9 Piece, Graphite - Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Technology Nonstick Induction Sauté Pan with Helper Handle and Lid, 5 Quart, Graphite - Circulon Radiance Deep Hard Anodized Nonstick Frying Pan /Skillet with Lid - 12 Inch, Gray --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/529846261-circulon-a1-series-with-scratchdefense-nonstick-induction-pots-and-pans](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/529846261-circulon-a1-series-with-scratchdefense-nonstick-induction-pots-and-pans) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
