You can't go wrong with Circulon. It is just the best cookware ever. No burning or scorching, easy clean up, even if you burn your food to a crisp, just let it sit and peel off the burned food, wipe and keep on going. All the products- well cookware I use end in "LON". I have been using them for years. If the food begins to stick and you cant just wipe it clean, fill your pot or skillet with vinegar, water and baking soda warm it and let it sit- rinse and be ready to use it again and again and again, if I could give it 10 stars I would.I had another stove top griller and the food was sticking too much, so I decided to search for the "lon" ware and found it.

i am about to buy another one, maybe my third, i've been buying pans like this for years, possibly including other brands but same light weight grill pan style. Unfortunately, for me, the pan doesn't last very long. I started using this one new last September and now i'm buying another so it's lasted less than 9 months, but perhaps that is my fault. Having had this experience before on the other similar pans, I have been what i thought was very careful to wash it thoroughly each time i used it, to make sure it looked just like new when i was finished cleaning it. I've been careful not to scratch it. This went along fine for many months, and then, at some point, it became hard to get it clean. It gradually but steadily got harder and harder, the same thing that happened with previous ones. But i replace them because i like them so much. While they are working, they do a great job, i love the lightweight aspect of them, and they clean effortlessly-until they don't anymore. The one i have now has just gotten to the point where it's impossible to get all the residue off of it, so i'm replacing it. At least they are inexpensive. i would hate to buy an expensive nonstick pan and have this happen. But i don't hesitate to buy another one because i like using them. The other reviewer said their pan lasted 5 years. If i could get 5 years out of one, i'd consider that a great deal. I have tried to follow the care instructions for the pan, but somehow i haven't been that successful. Still i love the pan.

This is my third Circulon grill pan. Mine last about five years before they become so grungy they have to be replaced. They work wonderfully until then and okay when they are grungy (reduced nonstick effect). My Circulon pans that aren't subjected to as much abuse as this one are ten and still look and work very well but I fry up fake burgers in this one constantly and they seem to leave buildup that won't come off after a while. It's much lighter than the previous one.

The grill pan is exactly what it says. it is non stick and grill marks are great. cleans very easy.

I love this pan! It makes it so easy to cook up healthy dishes. I was very surprised that it actually leaves authentic looking grill marks on the food. I never enjoyed cooking on or the food cooked on the Foreman grill. Even though you are not supposed to use the highest heat with these nonstick pans this one still does a good job of searing and sealing in juices. I have only had it a couple of months, but now I really would like to acquire more of the Circulon pans. The pan cleans very easily, and I am faithfully complying with the care instructions, but according to some other reviewers this is apt to change with long-term use.

1st of all, I am a circulon fan. My opinion they some of the best non-stick pans out there, however the tides are shipping. I bought this pan a while back to replace the previous model. (dropped the pan and the handle broke) They since replaced the handle with a full length metal handle, with a silicon like sleeve. Fantastic, yea but the pan itself is getting too thin. I guess their way of saving money. That is where the problem exists. Over time the pan will warp. Have a glass surface......... Other than that the pan works great. Should be 3 1/2 stars, but hey I still like Circulon even if they are getting cheap.

I had never used a grill pan before and I am now cooking with it all the time. I love the Circulon brand of pans. They are great.
