Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Non Stick Saute Pan with Lid, 28cm

Took delivery of the pan a couple of days back and as I'm a 'one pot wonder' man, I'm 3 dinners in. First impressions are that it's a good sturdy and solid pan. I purposely did a paella on the first meal and left it well alone and there was absolutely no sticking to the pan. 2nd meal was a stir fry and again no issues. The only thing to be aware of is that the base is really solid and therefore heats up better than other pans. The chicken I've cooked has been tough which never happens, so very likely means I need to reduce the temperature of the pan which saves fuel. We'll give it a couple of months and have a look but so far I really like it.

Very happy with the quality of the pan! A real non-stick.

It is very heavy, but well made and with a lovely large capacity. There isn't enough room for a fully grown elephant, but it would probably be able to take the weight.

All this time I've been using a wok to do cooking but now with this pan I can do a lot more. The lid was a vital part of my purchase. The pan is perfect for my one pot recipes and is easy to clean.

Great quality pan. Light compared to other same size pans. Cooks evenly and is truly non stick. I only wash by hand, never in the dishwasher. A small niglie, Sauce based meals especially tomato based, stick into the grooves even when watered down and left overnight to soak. Boiling water with dishwash liquid removes most of residue but not all. Needs further elbow grease with a soft bristle brush or sponge. Hopefully that doesn't ware out the non stick surface.

Non of that Hexclad nonsense with this one. A perfect pan, non-stick. Great heat distribution and cooking like you would expect from Circulon. Might even get another one!

Love this pan , maybe big but most splashing stays in the pan. It’s great for preparing large or small meals.

This is the "go to" pan, whatever you want to cook. From frying eggs to the largest of curries, casseroles etc. None stick and easy to clean.

Die Pfanne ist echt super, die Oberschicht sieht sehr gut und kann nicht gekrazt werden.

Good quality

I've had this large Sauté pan for a few months now and have had absolutely no issue with it. This is my go-to pan for most of my cooking and use it for 90+ percent of my cooking. It cleans up very easily both inside & out. I do only handwash this pan mainly because it is easy to hand wash and since it is large it would take up a lot of room in the dishwasher. I have put the lid in the dishwasher and it does just fine. I haven't used any metal utensils. I have older Circulon non-stick pans and this one is very different on the inside. The interior non-stick surface is 'rough' instead of smooth and looks like it is bulletproof. The extra thick base is flat and sits well on my glass cooktop. I appreciate the insulated handles. The lid is tight fitting. As with any non-stick pan I don't put extreme heat to it, but it will still sear a pork chop, steak or chicken breast just fine. The highest setting on my glass cooktop that I will use is 6 (out of 10), but even at 5 it still sears well. I have not put it in the oven although it says I can. I also like that it is induction-ready in case I bite the bullet and get a new cooktop at some point. I did a lot of research when I went looking for a new Sauté pan and I'm very happy with this one.

My mom said this was just as good as their last one that was worn out. Nice replacement.

Great quality worth the money
