Amazon.com Review

Coated inside and out with rugged nonstick, Circulon 2 cookware eliminates the chore of scrubbing pots and pans. Inside their bottoms, Circulon's patented Hi-Low system of concentric grooves creates narrow ridges to take utensil abuse, leaving low, wide grooves unscathed to readily release food and ensuring long life for the nonstick coating. Beneath the nonstick is harder-than-steel anodized aluminum. Pot and pan bottoms are left uncoated to conduct heat quickly and prevent hot spots. Slip-resistant synthetic grips on riveted, polished, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and go safely in an oven up to 350 degrees F. Heavyweight, 18/10 stainless-steel lids polished to a mirror finish present a gleaming contrast to the attractive, charcoal gray, enamel-like appearance of Circulon 2's nonstick exterior.

The Hi-Low concentric grooves climb about an inch up the rounded sides of this 12-inch round grill pan (which doesn't have a lid), permitting thorough scraping without damaging the nonstick coating. The grooves also cross the pan's raised grid, which imparts tasty, appealing grill marks to steaks, burgers, and fish and permits fat to drain off while cooking. The pan is 2 inches deep to contain splatters. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Whether you're cooking pork chops or burgers, this grill is the just the right tool. Raised grill pattern lifts food away from fats and grease allowing healthier cooking. The heavy gauge, hard-anodized aluminum provides even heating - no hot spots! The patented TOTAL Hi-Low Food Release system protects the nonstick surface from abrasion, allows food to slide out easily, and, along with the nonstick exterior, makes clean up a breeze. ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Ever Sticks. Ever., May 29, 2006

By 

TReno (Nevada, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Circulon 2 12-Inch Deep Round Grill Pan (Kitchen)

I have a complete set of Circulon, but composed of the regular and Circulon 2, and Elite, with the soft silicon rubber handles. I much prefer the Circulon 2 or Elite for its non-stick sides, which makes it much easier to clean.

I have no idea what some are talking about in the reviews here, however. On my planet, Earth, nothing ever sticks inside, including this grill pan, so there isn't any scrubbing needed, just a normal dish rag or sponge, a bit of soap, and thats it! I have used these pans on smooth ranges, gas, electric, and never noticed any problems as some have said.

I have had most of the pieces for well over two years, use them almost daily, and they are still looking like new. One must not ever use any non-stick on high heat. However, Medium-High is fine, and I use that setting for the grill pan 100% of the time.

Without any doubt, Circulon is the finest cookware I have ever owned!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Grill Pan, BUT..., February 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Circulon 2 12-Inch Deep Round Grill Pan (Kitchen)

It is a beautiful pan, if you have the right stove to use it. The grooves ("hills") [BTW, they are parallel + not concentric as the Amazon description states] have "valleys" on the bottom of the pan. If you have a gas stove, which I have not, - you will probably be very pleased. Don't expect to use this pan on a ceramic cooking surface or just a plain electric coil element as there is not enough contact between heating source + pan; you might damage either. I gave it away to my college kid w/ a gas stove.
