Product Description
One of the most used pans in cooking, you'll want to outfit your kitchen with skillets in a variety of sizes. This twin pack will get you started. The sloped sides let foods slide out easily, and the nonstick surface makes cleanup effortless. Use the smallest pan for frying a few eggs, grilling a hot ham and cheese, or making "silver dollar" pancakes, and use the larger pan for searing steaks, sauteing vegetables, or creating one-dish meals.

Until hard-anodized aluminum came along, professional chefs scoffed at the very notion of nonstick cookware. Once they gave it a try, whole new culinary worlds opened up. How else can you whip up a scrambled eggs with cheese concoction and not leave half of it stuck to the pan? Meanwhile, the rest of us looked on wistfully and sighed at the high price, not to mention the fact that you can't just throw it in the dishwasher or look to the future and use it on an induction cooktop.
Infinite Circulon changed all that, especially with this 10-inch and 12-inch pair of open skillets. They're everything you expect from Circulon 2, like a nonstick surface that's really nonstick plus the ability to cook on ANY kind of stove, including induction. The hollow stainless steel handles really do stay cool on the stove while upping the in-the-oven temperature to a whopping 500 degrees F. When you're done, it can go right into the dishwasher, though I have yet to cook anything requiring that kind of heavy-duty cleaning.
For a Lenten Friday dinner, we made whole wheat Fettuccine Marinara finished Bolognese-style, cooking and stirring the firm pasta in a couple cups of sauce until tender in the 12-inch skillet. Marinara sauce is hardly a challenge and it washed right out. On to a tougher challenge!
I made a couple fried egg and cold cut sandwiches the following Saturday, first frying the meat in the ungreased 12-incher, followed by the eggs without adding any grease or oil. Perfection! The eggs picked up a little of the browned bits left from frying the meat and that added some flavor. A quick hand-wash cleaned up with minimal effort.
Lately, the 10 inch skillet and my portable induction cooktop have become weekly visitors to the breakroom at work. Wednesday is hot breakfast day and I can turn out one omelet after another without having to scrape a mess out of the pan after each one. When we're in the mood for pancakes, I pack my Infinite Circulon round griddle.
As another reviewer points out, the manufacturer warns against using cooking spray, but it's OK to add a touch of oil for flavor. I oven fried a few strips of bacon and while the bacon drained on a layer of paper towels I poured off all of the grease, leaving behind a thin coating. I dumped in a double batch of Jiffy corn muffin mix and put it back into the oven for about 25 minutes. The result: a skillet Johnnycake that slipped right out and onto the cutting board. There's definitely an ooey-gooey pineapple upside-down cake in this skillet's future. It's already become my first choice when I need an easy-to-clean baking dish or small roasting pan for, say, a quartet of quarter-pound meatballs.
With its low price and cook-anywhere versatility, Infinite Circulon really is investment-quality cookware. When this pair of skillets is on sale, it's all that and a steal.

We decided on the Cirulon Infinite cookware after looking at a lot of other brands. The quality and versatility makes this affordable (a relative term, I know) line of cookware a great value. After 6 months of heavy use, we are more than pleased with the durability and performance.
* Very Thick Bottoms - Allows for even heating of cooking surface
* Great Nonstick Surface - Really nonstick, no issues at all - DO NOT use nonstick sprays or "heavy oils" as these will ruin the nonstick properties (read the instructions)!
* Requires Less Oils - We were able to cut way back on the amount of cooking oils we use
* Durable
* Oven Safe
* Dishwasher Safe
*Important* Follow the manufactures instructions and you will have great results.
Highly Recommended!

Amazon Verified Purchase
They are very high quality and a great value for the price. I've had them about a week and have used them a few times, I've very happy with them, they fry well, clean up great and are very pretty. I took the advice of another buyer and put a paper towel between them when storing since they have a bottom that might scratch the other one. I'm sorry folks, but I do cook with oils sometimes, that hasn't seemed to harm them, although I haven't had them too long. So we'll see. The sides are very high and the bottoms aren't large, so it would limit some things I'd like to cook, however, the high sides might be good for other things. I noticed after cooking in them yesterday with a temperature a little over medium that the bottom picked up the image of the gas burner... it did come off, but if not cleaned each time, it might discolor the bottoms a lot. The handles stay cool! and I was concerned with that but no problem. They are a little heavy and takes a couple of hands to lift the big one...so if you have any wrist problems, arthritis or are getting older, these might not be the ones for you. All in all, I'm very happy with them so far.

Not 12" & 10" but 10" & 8"
When I received these pans I thought there was a mistake. The 12" pan has only a 10" cooking surface and the 10" pan has only an 8" useable area. Read more

It is good while new. But unfortunately after less than a year of moderate use Circulon pan coating starts sticking heavily.

But, I will give the big one to my son-in-law. Read more
