Overview
Not a typical soft nonstick skillet, the Circulon pair uses a hardened ScratchDefense coating over an aluminum core with an edge to edge steel base. Both pans work on induction, go in the oven and wash in the dishwasher.
Durability is the case: the coating is built to resist scratches and the steel base resists warping. The set holds just two frying pans with no lids listed.
Who it's for
Everyday cooks frying eggs, fish and vegetables who are hard on nonstick. Those building a full kitchen should look at a larger set.
Pros and cons
- Scratch resistant nonstick
- Works on induction
- Oven and dishwasher safe
- Warp resistant steel base
- No lids listed
- Two pans only
- Silicone handle limits broiling
Performance notes
Heat moves fast through the aluminum core and spreads across the steel base for even browning, including on induction. The hardened coating resists the scraping that wears out ordinary nonstick, so release stays consistent.
