## Description

MAXIMIZE COOKING. MINIMIZE CLEANING. WITH THE LUXURY OF CIRCULON’S C1 SERIES CLAD. This elegant saute pan with lid and helper handle combines the luxury and heating performance of clad stainless steel with a groundbreaking nonstick cooking surface that won’t scratch—ever.* Circulon’s exclusive ScratchDefense technology creates a metal-utensil-safe nonstick cooking surface that is remarkably scratch proof and easy to clean. With a beautiful polished stainless steel exterior and ultra-thick aluminum core, this large saute pan strikes the perfect balance between timeless elegance, extreme durability, and optimal heating performance. Based on independent laboratory tests simulating rigorous cooking conditions instead of typical cookware use. The test mimics extreme torture by scraping pans with a weighted 2.5 kg/5.5 lbs metal spatula, 8x heavier than the Japanese Industry Standard test. ScratchDefense withstood 350,000 scrapes, equivalent to 5 scrapes per day for 200 years. Results may vary depending on usage.

Review: The Best frying pan and size to have for most of your needs. - This is the best little frying pan. It cooks to perfection. Heats up and nothing sticks, Its heavy duty and well made. I have fried wontons in it, sauted vegetables and fried chicken. I am now going to purchase the larger ones to go with this.
Review: Perfect pan - This is a nonstick pan that performs exactly as advertised. Uniformly cooks the food and allows you to shift the food easily while cooking. I do very lightly add some olive oil or avocado oil to the cooking surface before cooking. Avoid cooking anything at really high temp and you’re good to go. It will clean up easily. It’s a heavy pan and has a good sized cooking area. The lid is clear glass and sits securely on the pan. The lid handle does get hot so use an insulated mitt or cloth to lift it while cooking. I would recommend using wooden utensils to mitigate any potential damage to the cooking surface. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants a high quality cooking pan. I have had only positive experiences with this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful
*by G***G on November 16, 2025*

Purchased another product (less expensive) but it just didn't work out for us as shown in another review. This product is beautiful and the quality is as advertised. Just goes to prove you pay for what you get I guess. Non-stick, cleans up quickly, large surface and a good lid. Totally happy with this pan.
