Overview
Not a shallow frying pan, this Circulon A1 Series pan holds five quarts under a tempered glass lid, with a helper handle. Its aluminum core and stainless steel base serve gas, electric and induction cooking.
A big nonstick pan with a coating built to resist scratches is the reason to look at it, and the glass lid lets the cook watch the food. The limitation is the lid, rated lower in the oven than the pan, and the inclusion of the pan and lid only.
Who it's for
Home cooks who braise, saute and cook one-pan meals for several people and use an induction cooktop. The helper handle makes the full pan easier to lift. Cooks who want a carbon steel or stainless interior should look at another type.
Pros and cons
- Scratch-resistant nonstick coating
- Induction compatible base
- Glass lid included
- Helper handle for lifting
- Lid oven limit is lower
- Heavy when full
- Nonstick coating wears over time
- Compatible devices not itemized
Performance notes
An aluminum core spreads heat quickly across the base, and the stainless steel layer reacts to induction. The triple layer coating is designed to resist scratching from utensils. The glass lid traps heat and moisture and lets the cook see inside.
