Great for stir-fry!, October 23, 2005
This review is from: Circulon 10-1/2-Inch Nonstick Hard-Anodized Toss-and-Turn Pan (Kitchen)
I picked this one up at the local Macy's, for a little more than what Amazon is selling this for, and have been pleasantly surprised. This may look odd from the picture - it'll look even more so when you get it - but once you start stir frying in this, you'll see how much better this is compared to the regular pan.
This pan, if you can make out from the picture, has a shallow rim on one side, and a deeper rim on the other. The handle is on the shallow side. The deep side has a nice curve to it. So, when you want to toss and turn your cooking, a flick of the wrist sends the contents flying through the curve on the far side, and they land right into the pan, mixed much better than what you would normally achieve with a ladle.
The build quality is very good in my opinion - it handles daily use rather well, comes out clean through the dishwasher, and the circular print on the inside base makes it even more non-stick than the usual flat surfaces.
I would definitely recommend trying this out.

short life ....., February 19, 2006
This review is from: Circulon 10-1/2-Inch Nonstick Hard-Anodized Toss-and-Turn Pan (Kitchen)
I bought this toss and turn pan last year on April. It worked very well for the first several month. And I took very care of it----used soft stiring spoon to cook, soft rag to hand wash it, never used high temperature in cooking... but after 6 month, the "nonstick" layer begin to fall off. Although the fall off part is very small, I dare not to use it any more. Because I dont know if the fall off "nonstick" layer will cause cancer... Well, $30, 6 monthes good experience in using nonstick hard-anodized pan....
good, but too short

different view with time., March 26, 2006
This review is from: Circulon 10-1/2-Inch Nonstick Hard-Anodized Toss-and-Turn Pan (Kitchen)
actually,this pan perfoms quite well. it can turn an average "flipper" into something quite respectacle. i've used it in a number of dish preps and been well satisfied. the shape of the pan is a little different ( which is why it works of course ) but it is also a conversation piece. it's also priced at a comfortable level.
with time these coated pans decrease in the thing you like about them initially ie
non-stickability. this pan is going in the direction of all coated pans. i think that i'll get the word out to my family that i prefer a good polished metal pan for consistency although expensive in cost.
